Never happens in real life

I hate watching TV because it's so far from reality. For instance, Grey's Anatomy last night. There is this incedibly sweet, adorable intern named George. George isn't as gorgeous as the other guys on the show but he's so cute in that brother or best friend way. George has been in love with this other intern Meredith since forever. That actually makes George less appealing because out of all the characters, Meredith is the least likable (and it's kind of her show). Anyway he finally got the courage to tell her how he felt. She was vulnerable at the time and he said exactly the right thing, "I'd never leave you. I'd never hurt you. And I'll always love you." So she pulled off his shirt and the camera panned down leaving us to assume they started to kiss. According to the preview of next week's show they sleep together.

Now this stuff probably does happen. Meredith will regret it because she's in love with the married doctor who she can't have. All their friends will hate her for using George. George will be hurt but will still hang on to hope.

Why do we want what we can't have? But then why do some of us settle? Is anyone ever completely well matched?

I can see a person who's lonely hooking up with a friend, although that's pretty cold if they've professed to love you, and you don't feel the same way. That's pretty cruel.

I think it's a mark of maturity to not want what you cannot have. Some people just enjoy the chase more than the actual relationship. Or maybe they're scared of getting close?

But that's the difference between love and a crush. George obviously has a crush on Meredith, he's not really in love with her if he's never dated her. I think people are much better off if they recognize their crush for what it is and not call it "love." You can only really love somebody when they've farted on you in bed.

I hear what you're saying. But I really don't think you can truly love someone you don't really know. And you generally get to know someone the best when you're in a relationship with them. I know there are exceptions, but that's how I usually think of it.

Wow, this is really deep, so I'm going to change the mood completely..

I love Patrick Dempsey, I think he's such a cutie. Do you think less of me knowing that?
