Girl: "Italian, Indian, Sushi..."

Boy: "Any of those."

Girl: " "Oh forget it. If you can't decide, I'm calling Charlene and going out with her and Steve."

...aaaaand /SCENE.

So. Why is Girl getting so frustrated when Boy is being such a nice guy? He just wants to make her happy and be sure that they go somewhere she likes? He's such an easy going, easy-to-please guy that she should be thankful for right? Why would she want to go out with Charlene and her jerk of a boyfriend, Steve?

Because Steve will suggest that swanky new place Girl's been talking about for the past month, and though he may may flirt with the waitresses and say some ignorant things about politics, he'll at least have some ideas about what to do afterwards.

"Nice" is a crude tool when being innattentive.
