I think she said that because the part of her that loves the idea of what he is, believes it is a valid reason. But when he doesn't fall for it, she gives the real reason, i.e. she can't cope with being the main topic of gossip.

Oh, wow! About two millions synapses just exploded in my brain with this connection. This would also explain her excruciating discomfort during the dinner when he is doing nothing but being a regular guy.
