He's just a kid, I think he's still trying to figure out how to talk to women without resorting to those methods.

He wasn't being a jerk when he was celebrating and he managed to make Candy temporally have a crush on him (and as a possible extension Pacifica in Mansion Mystery) without doing what he did before. He was confident and being a good guy. He just needs to understand his limit.
