Yes she's in some way infatuated with him (romantic or not only she entirely know, I guess, but it's in some way that doesn't seem like just a good friendship) but that's because like I said this is a guy (the Love Island type) who knows what he's doing/has poured attention on her/constantly telli g her how special she is and how special their relationship is. It's how the vast majority of codependent relationships begin. But he'll drop her for some other "special person" as soon as one crosses his path.

This is part of what I mean about the age thing, this sort of tactic is going to be very ineffective on women his own age who will see right through him, but Jojo is a very wholesome character. I wouldn't even call her naive. She just thinks he's a nicer guy than (I believe) he is because she's not encountered this sort of "seduction technique".

Seriously watch a season of Love Island and you'll see 10 Chris's all doing a variation of this exact "relationship".

Could be special in many many different ways. As in, each friendship is different, but just as special as the others.:shrug:

So basically, he just has normal friendships :laugh:

I love our celebrities HMs. Anything to avoid being just normal.

To be fair I'm not saying he's a paedo or anything like that or even that he shouldn't find her physically attractive, as you say it's not "that sort of" age gap, she's not a literal teenager and he's not middle aged+, but I do think she's young enough (and he's old enough) that there's a problematic imbalance there and frankly I think it's actually quite an obvious one from everything we've seen of them. He's an emotional leech with her, monopolises her time, and she doesn't have the age/relationship experience to see it. And as I keep saying I think he knows exactly what he's doing.

Remember in the 90's/early noughties when everyone was trying to get rid of labels :laugh:

I'm still in that time period mentally.



I hate this new era where people try to make labels their entire personality.
