Judging by the emotional reactions, his situation is far from unique. I've never been in that situation myself (either side of the equation). I'm actually slightly surprised, to be honest.

You know, I understand Clinton's situation, having been there myself, and I think Claire was kind of out of line. That said, Clinton is and always has been kind of an immature shithead. If he blew his chance back then, he doesn't deserve Emily now. Claire may technically owe him an apology, but if Clinton's expecting one, he'd best write it off.

While I do agree on the 'immature shithead' front (this is the first time I think he's actually justified in blowing up at anybody), it's not a question if he 'deserves' Emily. They had good chemistry, and she seemed to like him, just as he seemed to like her back, but I don't think Clinton's really ready or actually wants a relationship with Emily. Just as Emily doesn't want a relationship, otherwise she might have asked him out.
Claire does not only owe him an apology, she owes him a change in behaviour as well; that's not how you treat your brother, no matter how funny it is to bully him.

Yes-ish. But hink of it from Emily's standpoint -- she's strange as hell, but she still has human emotions. How do you know she isn't giving him the brushoff because she felt rejected the first time around and doesn't want to give him a second chance? You can't really blame her for that. (Or at least that's what I tend to assume women think about me.)

Of course Clinton is immature, he's in his early twenties, he is probably still in college. Given how far up his own backside he can be at times and with the added in built deal breaker that is his hand, I highly doubt Clinton has much experience with dealing with the opposite sex other than his mother and sister. Emotionally, he is no worse than Tai on a bad day, or Dora on a terrible day. But add to that Clinton's lack of experience and that this was the first relationship he had and in his eyes, it's over before it began, from his frame of reference this probably akin to the Hindenburg going down in flames. Because it's the only experience he has.

I doubt seriously she even gave it a second thought. It's not like either one of them has a deep dating history, plus the fact that she admits her life is a little too packed right now to handle a relationship, I would say she chalked it up as a one time thing. Plus we have no idea if she ever reached out to him for another date, which is something perfectly acceptable.
