All of that is fine and understandable and can be explained away by Mario's age and Ben's appeal 
The problem was Mario's inability to deal with Ben's very gentle, clear and sensitive confirmation of his lack of interest in Mario. Had Mario been able to let go of it, Ben fans wouldn't continue to discuss it. But Mario was never able to get of it; it seems he still can't. His own actions and reactions in the house destroyed his chances and sullied the impression he made. To blame the object of his affections, whose identity for the purpose of this discussion is incidental, is churlish, childish and extremely counter productive. |
mario doesn't even talk to or about ben so how has he not "let go"?
