that is the “small thing” I don’t like about how Gunther is portrayed, here he is talking about his “apprehension” about how his feelings might grow for Rosa, and suddenly in last panel, because Luann mentions Quill, he has a VERY ANGRY LOOK, almost like he feels Luann is his property, while Luann is encouraging Gunther to give himself a chance with Rosa, she is not acting possessive

Gunther has nothing to worry about in the Luann and Quill romance department. Luann’s about as finicky as he is when it comes to romantics, maybe more considering she actually has expressed interest in Quill and they’ve already gone on dates… but the relationship’s practically going in reverse. So as long as Gunther doesn’t fall into mooning over Luann and ignoring Rosa he’ll be a step ahead of Luann and Quill… notices last panel- Yikes… Spoke too soon. *headdesk

Gunther, process your feelings . Make a decision. Don’t dither. Rosa, a lovely girl who is encouraging you, or Luann, who looks upon you as a pal (absolutely unromantically). Your choice. Choose.

OMG! Like leads to love and romance. What a horrible thing. Just follow Luanns lead here, Gunther, She’ll show you how to destroy any possiblility or romance developing.

What’s with the eyebrows, Gunther, Haven’t you gotten it through your thick skull that romance is not going to happen between you and Luann. Besides, now you have a prettier girl with bigger hair.

Don’t forget, no matter how many story arcs they pass through, Luann and Gunther both remain forever 16 — and a rather quaint 16 at that.
Teen-age kids still have one hand in childhood.
Some fall head over heels in love but still sleep with their battered stuffed bears.
Gunther clings to his adolescent crush on Luann the way he might hang on to his kindergarten rock collection.

I guess that we see a difference between Luann and Gunther st this point. Both may be uncertain about romance but Luann can be supportive of Gunther because she was never smitten by him. Gunther, however, has a different feeling about Luann. His crush causes his brain to want the best for her, but his heart continues to be disappointed that she dotes on Quill.

@Dave, he was doing fine with Rosa, talking to Luann as just a friend. Then, her half-comment gave him a splash of cold water in the face – look at the surprise on his face in panel 3 – he’s startled by the thought that she may have changed her mind about him.Than, of course, in panel 4 the other half of her comment splashes mud on him.

And they have to limit themselves to ONE partner why?

Greg, you’re accurately describing what happens to teenagers every day. The guy is in love with a girl who regards him as nothing more than a pal. She’ll NEVER return his romantic interest. Eventually, as the guy gets older, he moves on, finds another girl and finally realizes it was just a ridiculous teenage crush he had for the former. My personal experience precisely.

And this right here is exactly why I like the Toni/Brad arcs more so than the Luann ones nowadays. T/B arcs are a little more adult themed. Luann ones are too high school for my (personal) tastes.

Hopefully, Rosa will tell him to unbutton that top button on his shirt!

There’s a reason why polygamy doesn’t work – same reason why polyandry doesn’t work. Any of us wants to be so important enough to our S.O. that s/he would not want/need another lover. So in courtship as well a marriage, a 3-way is almost always a destructive situation. Something even closer to home, is the feeling of betrayal when one finds their S.O. is spending time talking to someone of the opposite sex on the Internet. It’s a slippery slope.

LOL, but try ignoring him next time. I know, he pops up with boring predictability, like a wart that won’t go away or toadstoods after the rain, but what tweaks him is when people ignore him and flag his inciting posts. Just keep on doing that and refrain from acknowledging his existence.

Such a human situation where you really like X, but X doesn’t care for you, and in the meantime you’re getting involved with Y, who really likes you. Interesting to see how Gunther resolves it.

It’s a pity that JJ (clyde) has carved a niche for “himself” to play devil’s advocate to nearly everything that anybody else thinks – so much that many posters have taken your position that “anything you post has zero credibility”. I think that “he” could get the credibility that “he” may desire with some reasonable views (as he does at times). However, most of us feel that when he does post something sensible, it’s just the old axiom that “even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while”. You’d think that if “he” wants a normal discourse, “he” would post reasonable disagreements, rather than the expected “off the wall” unsubstantiated remarks that we’ve come to expect. Truly a problem when you’ve painted yourself into a corner and want to escape from it. I guess the only thing to do, is sign off, get a new screen identity and try to be more credible in “his” next identity.

triangle? or maybe a square? Gunther’s facial expression from panel 3 to 4 is terrific!

Woah there buddy, you’ve only gone on one date and you’re already thinking about love and romance? I think this is a common mistake that people make. They start speculating about a long-term relationship before they even got to really know the person they’re dating. You might not find you get along well at all…
