Yes, I believe that is what she means. I think Happy Ending also demonstrates that feeling pretty blatantly. I think Nagase in the end just got tired of waiting - and really, who can blame him after 7 years? But at the same time, if Ayu's not ready, she's not ready. I think Love'n'Hate expresses her frustration with that - She WANTED to be ready and to believe that they could have a happy ending, but in the end she just couldn't do it and that in a way, she wishes that in the end, he wasn't so nice and would actually hate her. (maybe she has some feelings of guilt about being in a relationship with him for 7 years when she knew deep in her heart that it wasn't going to work, but she kept continuing anyways.) Nagase, if you know his personality, is the type of guy that throws himself 100% into something with seemingly no doubts - very opposite from Ayu.
