I think Shuro was aware Falin didn’t feel the same way. But she helped him vocalize his feelings for the first time, and so he wanted to offer the same courtesy. Let her answer him herself, when she was ready. That’s why he waited for her. I’m guessing their final discussion on this WAS when they both felt like talking about it. And if not, it’s because enough time has passed plus they were running out of time (Shuro leaving). In the end, he wasn’t surprised at the rejection, just, satisfied at its natural conclusion. They can both step away from this as individuals who chose their own path.
And through the story, ofc he still hopes! It’d be weirder if he didn’t. But like, when the response to a proposal is “I need time to think,” the answer is obviously “I don’t feel the same way,” whether she accepted or not. Part of the hope could be naivety, but I think he was readying himself for whatever answer she gave. A+ btw for handling the rejection with such grace. And for Falin who was so gentle, and have given her future some thought. Neither are as passive as they used to be. They both grew so much.
Side tangent, Shuro likely sees him and Falin as very similar people, both with issues telling people no, both struggling to become their own person. And she was weird too! (in the bug liking way)! He was always too scared to express himself. He probably looked up to her a lot as the kind of person he would like to be. That’s probably why he fell in love, but more importantly, I think that’s why he had faith that Falin would get back to him about the proposal. She needed time to think, but he knew she could come through and vocalize her thoughts. He learned from her, after all.

For anyone wanting to get into the Dungeon Meshi anime who only knows English, especially if you're uncertain whether you want to watch it dubbed or subbed, I'd like to recommend the dub.
Both jp and eng performances are really good, but unfortunately the subtitles for the sub are...lacking. While not inaccurate, they're missing a lot of the clarity and nuance (such as: set up and punchlines for jokes) and make it seem much less like a comedy series.
But the dub translation makes all the comedic beats much more explicit and obvious, and it's easier to follow along with the story too. Especially if you haven't read the manga, dub gets you the intended viewing experience if you need English.

“Hope. A strange concept, after so long seeing myself as the agent of ruin.
Oh. Oh.
So that's some piece of a crumb over why Kuras is so "curious" about the MC.
"-Few would cling to life so resolutely"
Hope has become such a foreign concept to him after so long, especially looking at the current state of Eridia, oh I'm gonna be sick.
