Oh, I don't think he's concerned about the dignity of the characters at all. He has this dynamic he seems to be obsessed with, the "almost" relationship. Sure, he can have Buffy have glow fantasies and dreams, but outwardly stating it takes down a roadblock because... then what? Then they almost have to get together because there is nothing to stop them.
It's kind of like the absolute insistence that Cordy stay dead. He has this issue that the relationship absolutely has to be stuck in that space.
