Help me finish my Psychology homework

I'm having trouble coming up with a reasonable answer for this question on my psychology homework. Anyone wanna help? [i]16.) Two kids, a guy and a girl, go to prom together on the suggestion of a mutual friend. Both are extremely shy and aren't very good at conversing. After prom, they don't have a conversation for 7 months other than the occasionally greeting to each other in the hallway at school. After a period of awkwardly avoiding eye contact for a couple of months, they start the "saying hi in the hallway" routine. Does a relationship between the two seem likely?[/i]

    This would be my answer (recognizing I know little about psychology): A relationship (assuming this refers to something more than just friendship) between the two does not seem likely. While they share some common traits, they appear to have very passive personalities; they only went to prom together because someone else suggested it. The fact that they did not speak for seven months afterwards would also imply that neither of them is very interested in the other. Thus, their common traits along with their shared experience at prom could easily lead to a friendship between the two, but nothing more.
