Im not sure how good of a guy the second one is. He immediately asks a crying emotionally vulnerable girl on a date instead of making sure she was ok, and he says she's a nice girl despite knowing nothing about her and only based on her physicality.

In a vacuum, yes, it’s kind of slimy, but in this case he knows the context (by eavesdropping) and can clearly see the outcome. Asking if she’s ok is sort of redundant at that point. She’s clearly not and clearly upset about being rejected for her looks. Guy starts by confirming to her that the entire ordeal was not her fault and it was the other guy being a jerk. (Validating her feelings) She was already prepared and expected a date, and he offered to make that happen with acceptance and compassion.

And it's not like the date has to be a lot or like super serious.
