CMV: Anakin's cringe lines with padme are what you would expect from a emotionally stunted 17 years old and not bad writing.

stuff like :  
“I’m haunted by the kiss that you should never have given me.”   
"You are so beautiful" "It's only because I'm so in love" "No it's because I'm so in love with you" "So love has blinded you?"   
and many more

He's like what 17, been living with a group of space monks that disdain on any attachment and he meets the girl he had a crush when he was like 10. For someone who never was in love and never talked romantically to a girl i'd say his cringe level is at the right level.

Don't tell me you were less cringey when you were 15.
Plus while padme was more accomplished i don't think she had that many opportunities to fall in love, so Anakin was her first love, so even her lines can be explained as well.

So for me the dialogue is perfectly in tune with a romantically stunted 17 years old would behave. I would have found it more cringey if he was a suave mofo.

Ok, but the problem is that there is nothing in these scenes that indicate that this is what Lucas is trying to convey. Neither the acting or the visual language of the film makes any indications that what is being shown is two teenagers being awkward and unexperienced. You're making this weird backwards rationalisation based on the text that's contradicted by everything else happening on screen. 

To put it another way, let's say a character in a film makes a joke and a group of people laugh. Are they actually laughing or or are they pretending to be laughing? It's the job of the director to visually convey this through the use of acting, gestures, presentation etc. The thing that you can't do is read the joke itself and make the determination based on how funny it is, which is basically what you are doing.

Just because the dialogue is embarrassing doesn't mean that the point of it is to show how emotionally stunted the characters are. There are ways to portray embarrassing teenagers that tell the audience that these people are emotionally stunted and that's why they are talking like this, but Lucas certainly doesn't do this. In fact, he does the opposite, approaching those scenes with nothing but sincerity and a sense of importance.
