I know what you mean - he is comforting her though, being a good bloke. she was clearly REALLY homesick yesterday and REALLY wants to be out of the house - and he was just trying to cheer her up as mates do. He has the wisdom of experience that you get when you are older - to just relax and let it go by. Its impressive that Ashleigh is handling it at all.
he had to give her esteem at that moment, she was on the verge of tears. Thats what friends do.
Its the age difference that will make it difficult for them to be friends outside - there is a vast change between 18 - 33.
In the house it works but on the outside it wont. It doesnt mean Chris is less of a cool kid - just the age difference. If Ashleigh was older - they would definitely stay friends outside of the house.
They wont have anything in common on the outside. Unless she considers Chris like an older brother type figure.
