Say won't you Say

Logan

Gilmore Girls, a show that in my opinion has only gotten better over time, has taught me a lot about relationships. The unconventional Mother/Daughter relationship between Roary and Laurali, is such a pretty picture of how the best friendships can come in unusual packages. I've always loved this part of the show because my mom and I are extremely close, she is definitely more of a motherly figure to me than Laurali is to Roary, but I love that the older I get the more I value a friendship with my mom. But that is certainly not the extent of relationships that this show holds. Roary who is a sweet, simple, but uniquely lovely and charming in her own way, Is ALWAYS managing to get herself into a love triangle(mess) with boys. First it was with Dean and Jess, and then as she got into college it became Dean again along with a heap of other elegible bachelors at Yale. The one to intrigue my interest the most is Logan. Besides the obvious, He's Super cute (but in my opinion too short), From the moment he laid eyes on Roary he challenged her and brought upon this unending Witty Banter and little inside jokes and nick-names for her; Not to mention that he is loaded, and dresses very well, quite different from Dean. But after last nights episode, my love for Logan is slowly beginning to fade. I was unaware of the little deal they had going between them where they are going to be "Friends with Benefits" and see other people as well. This is no good on So many levels, and esspecially for a girl like Roary, She was made for a serious relationship, none of this dating around stuff. Also, he made it very clear to her that he was allowed to date other people, when the one time she chooses to do it its suddenly not ok with him?! Whats that about?! He wants to have his cake and eat it too and a girl like Roary is better than that.

So the question is, should she make a commitment to Logan now, even though he chose not to go hard after her and pursue her with everything in him, and it took him being Jealous to make him realize how much he actually cared about her, rather than just putting his pride aside and laying his feelings and heart on the line because she is worth the risk?! Although the strong physical attraction will win out in this decision, because when we are so infactuated by that, its hard to think straight and make wise decisions, she will eventually realize that Logan is not "the One". Shes felt first hand the joy of being pursued, Dean did a good job of that when they first met; and once you have seen what that looks like it will be hard to settle for a guy who basically only wanted her becuase he couldnt have her, as if he was trying to prove something. We'll see how Logan does over the next few weeks, but it will sure take a lot for him to redeem himself and prove himself worthy of Roary. Where would we be without these valuable life lessons in relationships from Gilmore Girls.
