What's this obesession with dense males in these stories? They are neither entertaining or even interesting, it just infuriates the reader
I completely agree. I understand realism is important and for someone who's never been popular for years to suddenly have a top notch beautiful and cute girl all over him, hell I'd even be suspicious. But after a while, especially the fact that she's your childhood friend, you'll or should realize that you don't need to put the guard up. It's amazing how triggering it is for him to like her, her to like him, her to confess to him, but decides to PLAY DUMB "oh i dont know wut u r talkin bout" bullcrap.
