I wouldn't mess with Andrew.

[Deliverance]

I think he is a strange kettle of fish altogether. Is it just me? I think that he is kind of scary for some reason.

[RosieRed xxx]

He is very intense but Mario is scarier..

[Zippy]

No he's not scary at all. Compared to JJ he is perfectly normal. He's not ranting at people and making a big drama out of leaving.

[setanta]

He's just a young lad trying to find his feet in the world and particularly with women, that's all. Wouldn't hold it against him if he misreads signals in such an intense atmosphere from time to time. It's doubtful that he has any experience in such areas to begin with, and sure look at how the older wallies are faring in the place!

[Deliverance]

Mario is a bit creepy but in a different way. But Andrew drunk was kind of weird, he looked like a potential stalker with Josie because she flirted with him, could be just inexperience with women and all that, but I don't know he strikes me as having an alter ego which is strange to say the least.

Very nicely summed up, setanta.

Yes I get the feeling he's somebody whose only recently come out of his shell and is a late developer. He did say something the other night about losing 3-4 stone. I think he's probably been bullied and left out of the loop for most of his life but now feels a bit confident about himself for the first time.

True enough, I'm not trying to paint him as a psycho or anything but I still find him odd and in need of someone to take him under their wing to calm him down a bit.

He is young for his age mentally I think. Socially and acedemically he has no probs but women wise he kind of worries me for his own sake if nothing else. The way he is interjecting in the Josie and JJ relationship was / is and could be damaging for his confidence?

He could easily be destroyed confidence wise unless he is taken to one side and spoken to by some of the older hms.
