Alex hates competition. It should to see how bullistic Alex will get on Leo.

You’re entering a world of pain, Leo …

Ouch.

At least Alex isn’t lending the proverbial blind eye to the moment.

Tell me, why’d you leave the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders when you’re still so young and talented? You weren’t the girl in front? Yeah, I guess you wouldn’t want the sun on that lovely complexion.

I’m telling you, he’s just having fun with Alex – and he’ll let her know soon enough. Of all the characters, Leo seems to have the biggest reservoir of wisdom.

Alex, breathe. Jealousy isn’t cute.

Both are positive (and uncommon) qualities, and both together is dynamite (and rare, just by the laws of probability). But someone could have both, and you still wouldn’t want to be in the same room with her — unless it’s leavened with common sense, a rocking sense of humor, and genuine modesty. Then you’ve got a treasure!

In that case, of course, you probably aren’t worthy of her anyway…. :]

jealousy is not a “choice” …bf & bf – she loves both of them, doesn’t want to choose between them. he now loves them both (what’s not to love?) and has already chosen….please God. cue the Lovin Spoonful song….

I just love how no one here seems to understand that Drew 1) actually has a brain of her own and 2) is Alex’s friend.

@gmartin997I put looks somewhere on down the list of attributes I admire in a woman. I am with SCAATY_423. Give me intelligence, common sense, and a great sense of humor. Looks tend to pale when all those are present. And great beauty cannot begin to make up for their lack.@SCAATY_423I think you are right about not being worthy. I met a lady as you describe with the whole package. But we just could not make it work. Of course, it did not help that I was already married to the absolutely wrong woman at the time!

It’s such a challenge to go through this life being so beautiful.

The extremely beautiful are just as marginalized as the extremely ugly. Be careful what you wish for.

Beauty may be skin deep, but even the blind can appreciate tactile in a dark bedroom.

Yer killin;’ us, Garry!

When somebody asked Casanova, the famous lover from the 18th century, about his secret, Casanova replied, “I always praise a beautiful woman for her brains and an intelligent woman for her beauty.”

Is it just me? Take a good looking woman. If she has some kind of talent (say, musical, maybe) she is suddenly beautiful.

Pretty sure that both Drew and Leo are messing with Alex…. (And Alex probably knows it, but is justly annoyed.) Drew simply wouldn’t do anything more than that to Alex.
