   To be fair, she probably gets at least 3 to 5 DMs a week from male social media fans who think that dumb blunt sexual loaded “hits” will somehow make her swoon and be all over them… Not even counting the “thirsty” guys all over her social media posts. And that would be normal with them knowing she’s got a boyfriend… they’d probably double or triple if she actually advertised he might be out of the picture.

   going to have to do better than that bets, common, you ignored him for what seems like at least a few weeks (given things didn’t change until Tiff’s project on the dinner date was completed, graded and returned).

   Try showing up at his house to make a serious apology

   Smartest Move Gunth’s made in a while.Bets understands the “pain” of leaving and would rather inflict it on others than risk having it inflicted on her. That she’s claiming to do so out of love… well that’s just stupid, cause instead of “avoiding” that pain, you’re guaranteeing it.

   Honestly if she really loves him, she’s got a lot to make up for. If nothing else all Tiff’s efforts should at least prove to the G Man that he’s worthy of love.

   Everyone else is wondering about the people (or perspective) change… me I’m going “is that a smirk I see on Bet’s face…”

   honestly, I’m fond of “baseball” theory… 3 strikes.I’d give a day – then send an email letting them know I wanted to check in on them and am available if they wanted to talk.

   Give another day and send a text.

   Give two more days and make an attempt to call, leaving a message if they don’t answer.

   Yeah, I can see where she might not let go if he’s calling / messaging / emailing constantly, but from the look of it (and judging by his behavior) he’s to afraid \ upset to be the first to try to create contact

   Probably occasionally check their social media to see how they are doing \ what they are up to \ see if they’ve changed.

   She is the one who wanted “space” so she can’t complain if he didn’t contact her.

   Sadly people aren’t mind readers and both genders are bad for assuming or expecting action on unspoken expectations.

   Course we’ve got better tools for communication now… Of course I’ve had issues where someone was like this and was snappy / irritable / wouldn’t let something bothering them go… and I did press into it and almost always that relationship was worse for wear down the line.

   How one handles anger and stress should be seen as flags for future relationship issues – I mean if she’s this bad on her date not going as planned, I can only imagine what she’d be like if something remotely wrong happened at her wedding…

   Dude, she’s been out of your life for several weeks and When Tiff gets her back she’s STILL on the same grudge? She doesn’t let go of crap, take this for the life lesson it is and walk away.

   If Gunther is seeing this, it should be one more hint to RUN not walk away… Alas most don’t learn the signs of “high emotional maintenance” until it’s too late.

   Hell the fact that she’s made no effort to contact him or follow up since “asking for space” spells out that it’s over in my book (assuming it’s been a week or more since the dinner)

   going to actually address this like a “Slice of life” that it tends to be…Tiff grew up with Gunth, like most the other girls, even if she doesn’t seem him as potential romance, especially since his big trip, he’s grown up a lot in her eyes and she’s gained much respect for him when he helped her early in college. He’s never been judgmentally harsh with her and I think she was honestly hoping to build a friendship with Bets before her temper went on a rampage.

   now… Last time Tiffany saw Gunth, it was for him to have a romantic dinner with Bets.She didn’t have any issue with the costumes, He didn’t have any issue with Tiffany’s theme.He was more than happy with it, interesting food, nice atmosphere.

   But Bets couldn’t get over it not being what SHE wanted.

   Now, they storm out, Gunther really only leaving because his girlfriend is storming out

   so far as Tiff knew, they went somewhere else, Bets cooled down and life was great. Now as she’s celebrating her project (and the first significant success since going into a business major) she finds out her friend and frequent supporter was dumped in that same storm, she doesn’t know that Bets pretty much “shorted out” when Gunth said he loved her (I say shorted out because she was already emotional and the moment put her into overload. Perhaps she got scared because he said he loved her and realized she was “being a monster” or perhaps as many others muse, her true love is social media and she realized she didn’t have feelings for the “prop boyfriend”.

   I get why Gunther is moody and shut down over it, as he doesn’t have any closure, though I’d be curious given Bet’s love of media if he’s not following her – It would say a lot about her personality if she was still on social media doing her thing for her “fans” or if she went into “shut down” mode.

   major warning flags. they’ve been dating at least a year plus in the luannaverse and methinks while they are an “item” Bets has never said the L word in direct relation to Gunth…

   There’s multiple potential things going on in her head, and I’ll hit them in the order of what I think are likely

   1) Anger \ resentment are going at full tilt because she didn’t get her way, she’s mad at Gunth for what she believes is backing Tif over her. the L word bombarded her and in her twisted anger state feels like it was done as manipulation (because that’s something she would do to get her way)

   2) Bets saw gunth as a plaything, a puppy she could play with and not get hurt… someone who’ll let her be herself, yet hasn’t yet really put her heart into the relationship … i.e. she loves what he does for her, but doesn’t actually find herself attracted to him. His L bomb has made her realize maybe she’s not IN LOVE with him.

   3) Bets is emotionally immature and doesn’t really know what she wants or what she’s doing or where she’s going. the sudden L bomb derailed her tantrum and she doesn’t know where to go with it… perhaps a sudden realization she’s been unloading on the guy who LOVES her… perhaps ever so slightly the realization of how much she’s using and abusing Gunth at this point.

   I lean hard on the likelihood she’s used to having “the power” by being the girl… and being hit by an L bomb has rattled her hard. In the past I’ve argued that being with Bets is at least progress (relationship-wise) as most the core characters are not very interested in the G man for anything other than their childhood friend.

   Personally I see so many warning flags from failed relationships in Bets, but I also know from my own experience as a young man, Gunth is still eager to be part of the race and meet the sociatal expectations that he should be found finding his “other half”… Despite the fact that we as people will never be “complete”

    oh, she’s already got a serious relationship, with social media…
