No. [ The answer is very flat, but that's just because he is taking her at face value. That's Castiel's problem. He takes everything so literal. Sarcasm is incredibly hard for him to grasp at times, but he's better at it than he once was. He gets mouthy sometimes when he's pushed too far. Though usually it's pretty stiff, but still he tries. He tries to be as human as he can be, but it's hard sometimes. Xander offers to give him lessons now that he's human, but Cas wants to do a lot of it on his own. He's never been helpless. He had a purpose. He was an angel of the Lord. A warrior. He could fight and he could protect. Now he just felt pathetic. It wasn't something he'd tell them or even Faith, but it was how he felt.

She doesn't boot him immediately so he moves forward into the bathroom. He grabs the wooden chair that's been put in front of the mirror and turns it to face her. He tries not to place it close because while the tub was high and could protect her from a certain angle that wasn't always the case. It's not hard to notice that at times his body has the tendency to betray him when he's around women. It did so as an angel, but he had a certain amount of control over it at that part. He could stop certain things from happening most of the time. Now he was a fish out of water. Human sexuality or bodies kind of were of no importance once upon a time. Things are different now. ] Buffy said if I drove her car she'd turn all my white shirts pink again. I felt it best not to upset her. I thought reading would help her trust me more.
[ Dawn laughed and Xander just shook his head when she told him that. He liked Buffy well enough, but he knew that it was unwise to rattle her cage in that respect. Willow had made a comment about how Buffy wasn't even a good driver in an attempt to make Castiel feel better. He did appreciate the sentiment in the end. ] If I can't assist you in normal ways I'd like to be able to help in a new way. Driving the car seemed like the best option. [ It's sadder than it sounds. You're looking a holy warrior of God. He's a man that's been in wars since he was created and he's been reduced to driving the car. ]
