Your logic lacks, well, logic. Like, a lot of it.
--- Quote from: akronnick on 02 Feb 2011, 04:40 --- Because he's not a Jesus freak and he's not gay.
--- End quote ---
Still no logic in your logic.
--- Quote from: cyro on 02 Feb 2011, 04:46 --- I'm inclined to agree with akronnick. If a guy whos not experienced at all suddenly has a girl literally throw herself at him, whilst both of them are intoxicated, well it becomes less a case of "has moral standards" and more a matter of "going for Saint of the Year award."

Oh god, not another one. He was already in love with Faye at that point !
Well ok, "in love" is a bit strong, more like "highly interested".
Also, some people have things called taste, standards, maturity, ...
themacnut:
Y'know, the more I think about it, the more I'm thinking it's not that Angus is a virgin or has less experience than Faye, I'm thinking his nervousness comes from knowing he's dealing with someone with serious issues and he's trying not to trigger those issues (someone else on this thread said something like that. Don't remember who, but I agree with them.) He's more nervous about saying and doing the right thing because he knows if he says or does the wrong thing, Faye may bolt. Faye may have come a long way since her stringing-Marten-along days, but not so far that Angus couldn't say or do something to cause her to totally withdraw. In fact, her own fears may do that just as well.
No wonder Angus is kinda nervous. Wouldn't YOU be?

Exactly, I could not have said it better myself.

That's the only way a male virgin in his twenties would turn down what she was proposing.

Wow way to generalize there.
Uh I don't know how to counter such an ignorant remark really... I have quite a few male friends who chose to abstain until later in life. None of them are "freaks" and none of them are gay.

That's what I was getting at when I said this:

<snip>
I think his awkwardness stems entirely from the fact that he's trying to woo Faye Whitaker, with full knowledge and consideration of her history.
It's a delicate balance of trying to express interest and attraction, while at the same time not getting defenestrated.

I think people were reacting so strongly to the first part of that post (the <snip>) that they didn't comprehend the resoning behind it.
