I think this mostly tells us that your model doesn't actually model humans very well.
A simple explanation is that there's a system in her brain that guides her action towards making the man join her, but the success or failure of this system doesn't affect her emotional state.
Oh yes, "adaptation executers vs utility maximizers".
So she has followed the algorithm: "if there is a chance to help, try to help / if there isn't a chance to help, ignore".
And the creepy part was how she perfectly knew which situation is it now, and how she accomodated so quickly.
