Depends on if you believe Humbert Humbert, and you probably shouldn’t. Personally I think it’s a mix.

Remember Humbert says not every girl is a nymphet, and it’s not only the pretty little girls that are nymphets, it’s a particular type. Perhaps the type is a prepubescent girl who has precocious sexual qualities on a psychological level. The type that is aware of flirtation and likes to court it, though she doesn’t fully understand what it means or what she’s playing with.

humbert is a very unreliable narrator but the ironic thing is he is still horrible about hiding the fact he is a predator and a pedophile.

She led him on without realizing it, thanks to the influence of her whore mother and American pop culture.

When you were 12/13 did you ever have a crush on an adult? If you remember what that feeling is like you'll see the difference between it and the fully developed lust of an adult. She did not seduce him, she mildly flirted with him, and instead of just gently refusing her he abused her.

Mate, the quote you pulled clearly states Dolly—if you refer to Dolly as Lolita you're as bad as Humbert—couldn't understand her actions could be interpreted as seductive. You're just a pedo. Simple as.

ofc not, there are multiple "clues" in the book pointing to the fact that it was all him idealizing it.
