This makes me giggle, because I am the complete opposite! I get absolutely LIVID sometimes when Austen adaptations include what I feel to be unnecessary kissy-face scenes. It's strange, because I'm not at ALL a history buff, but it bothers me when scriptwriters/directors ignore period accuracies in favor of romancing the characters.
Have you ever seen The Holiday? I like to think of the scene you described kind of the way I picture Jack Black and Kate Winslet's characters in a scene toward the end of that movie. Elizabeth and Darcy are totally squeeing/fist-pumping on the inside. :D
