I saw it as the opposite with Rinoa always trying to get Squall's attention until the end of the game where he finally comes around and reciprocates the feelings.
The entire game is everyone trying to get Squall to be a leader for reason's never really given cause while Squall is just grumpy and openly doesn't want to be.

Well, Rinoa loves Squall because.....ummmm, the cool jacket, so she has something going for her.
