Well, for a start I never 'got' into General Hospital - the only Luke in my life was "Luke Skywalker" -
Now, I'm of the opine that Leia was always a strong woman, and if she truely hated Han, or found his advances 'creepy', she would have had his ass arrested or Han would have met with a few dozen of her closest 'freinds' in a dark corridor on Hoth for a 'little talk' long before the big kiss (and as others have asked, where was Chewie during all this? Surely one simple 'Hell no' would have had him running.)
The whole scene is full of 'don't stop'. Two strong people who have hid their feeling behind petty bickering, but it's damn pretty apparent that they have the hots for each other.
As for Anakin and Padme - Anakin may be clumsy in his 'romantic' approach (a stolen kiss is a mutual one) - I've never found it creepy or stalkerish, and the INSTANT Padme told him to back off, he did (and then SHE went chasing back after him).
Is it clumsy? Oh hell yes. Does it reek of being written by a man who longs for the 'hot woman'? Oh yes. Does it seem like it should have taken more than one movie for real 'romance' to blossom? Probably, but it is what it is...
And while Han and Leia and Anakin and Padme are seen as "creepy", fans seem to have NO problems with Luke falling in love with a psycho Mary Sue (that completely is just better than him at EVERYTHING) who wears his testicles on her hip like some kind of trophy....
Ok, Say what?
