   I would be laughing ecstatically if Chuck became Prom King. That would be hilarious; he's not exactly the stereotype.
   
   GG hasn't exactly been known for keeping the stereotypes too straight, tbh.

   Yes, NAIR!, because love is all about beauty and hotness. Excuse me. I forgot my handbook on what defines love.

   QueenBeee: Wow, have you been watching this show? It diverged from the books a long time ago. Like, practically from the pilot on. The writers have clearly said they're taking their own cues.

   Blair Cornelia Archibald: Don't know about before, but he confronted Blair at school in 2x20 re: spark/fireworks.
   
   Otherwise, I'm not feeling Serena's dress, ngl. Flapper's nice but this is just 1) washing her out and 2) a little too straight-cut imo.

   I'm sorry, but I don't think that people in the 'adult world' even speak of 'eye sex.' The concept and thrill of it seems pretty juvenile to me :/
   
   I meant that it is sensual behaviour, and that yes it does happen in the adult world. 'Course, it's more often than not called "lustful eyes" if you prefer, but I know plenty of adults who call it "eye sex" to get away from the too-serious "purple prose"-like quality of "lustful eyes". Young adults (20-25), sure, but there you go. And believe me I don't hang out with immature gigglers (which is NOT an attack at Nair fans but just a fact of my own personal life).

    Oh, and I mean seriously? Eye-sexing and stuff is "ewww"? Welcome to the adult world.

    Kimberly: Well, technically just because you say you love someone doesn't mean you automatically have a connection.
    
    THANK you. Chuck and Blair are having problems saying those words because they're hard for them to accept. Chuck isn't Blair's "prince charming" and Blair is a freaking novelty to Chuck because he's never known love to begin with. It's scary to them both.
    
    Nate only repeated Blair's "I love you" in the pilot (can't remember if he says it to her again at another time) because he knew he'd look like a complete douche if he didn't. And Blair? Well. Teenagers say the words all the time because they think saying them will make the statement truth. And then after they have sex Nate thinks that's it, he's in love. Like Petra said, biggest teen cliché ever.
    
    The simple fact is, Chuck and Blair are/were merely having trouble acknowledging their feelings. Nate and Blair are/were only throwing the words out to appear like a "normal" couple.
    
    Oh, and someone else pointed out that maybe the age differences between Chair and Nair fans are at the root of the debates. I fully support that argument. That is all.

    Love is objective. It hits when you're not looking. You might even think you were absolutely content with who and what you were (and with whom) before but the fact is, love makes you vulnerable when you least expect it. It's two hearts drumming to the same beat, two people who know each other inside and out without even needing to pry. Love is objective, because it doesn't care about perfection. Perfection can't be attained because whether you like it or not, you'll end up hurting perhaps just as much or even more than you'll hold hands without a care in the world.
    
    Chuck and Blair are not strictly about sex, though it was part of their mutual appeal at first. Blair knew Chuck was a womaniser, and yet she trusted him enough to lose her virginity to him. "Trust" is a keyword: she's known him her whole life, he was one of her closest friends, they operated almost on the same wavelength from the beginning of season 1 (and, logically, even before). They can see right through each other's masks. He's never been less than gentlemanly with her, and his "you sure?" in the limo completely supports that argument to a tee - he wouldn't have asked if he hadn't cared for her.
    
    Sure she tried to forget about that night, and so did he, but then love - or at least attraction thus far - operates in its own twisted ways doesn't it? The turning point for Chuck was when he found Nate and Blair kissing at the cotillion. The one for Blair, I think, was when Chuck rejected her so sourly after she was dethroned. These weren't just OMFG moments for the sake of audiences going "OH SNAP" - they were moments when they found they couldn't breathe for hurting too much from the deceptions of their own making.
    
    Yes, they keep hurting each other to the quick, much more than they enjoy what they have. Can you blame them when Chuck is deathly afraid of losing his freedom and has never been able to look to the future, and Blair, who swears by strict planning, doesn't even have the foggiest idea what's in store for her?
    
    Chuck and Blair aren't "cute" or "pretty" or "siiiigh". They're fierce, fierce lovers and the fight is just that much more epic because they refuse to lay down the arms without first getting everything out in the open. And that includes those three damn words.
