[ Shion, of course, has a point - she's the one who always acts like a tomboy around Kei-chan, and she hadn't realized how much she liked him until it was too late to take that back. She's not on his radar because she hasn't put herself there. It's not even like he knows she's interested, though she's very determined to keep it that way.
If Kei-chan doesn't like her back, she'd rather keep her feelings a secret. The problem is just that she has no idea what he thinks of her, and it's not like she can just ask (not without being horribly embarrassed, anyway).
...Which is why Shion's first suggestion makes her stammer in protest. ]
Sh, shion!
[ Even if he's not anywhere nearby, and will never find out about this sisterly conversation, she's still red with embarrassment just thinking about it. ]
I can't just make him go out with me... that's not the point.
[ The point is that she wants him to like her enough to date her. Making him go on an official date with her as a punishment wouldn't change his feelings about her at all. All it'd do is make it blatantly obvious that she wants to date him, which would just make their relationship super awkward.
Asking him about the kinds of girls he likes isn't much better, in that regard. Unless she could try to bring it up in a moment of manly bonding, it'd be a weird question to ask - and she'd just be worsening the problem at hand by intentionally trying to act like his male buddy.
Though... maybe she could try something like forcing him to do something date-like with her as a punishment, but not call it a date and act like it's just something for friends. Maybe, if she picks the right thing, it'll at least make him realize that she's a potential romantic partner. ]
