[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t really like the Jade storyline. I thought Nate needed to learn that it’s not how others see you that matters but how you see yourself. He didn’t care about the fawning manager—he cared about Jade because she didn’t seem impressed by him. And he just kept trying to win her over. But neither person’s response to him should have ultimately mattered that much. They are just people at some restaurant.

Regarding whether Nate is redeemable: I agree that Nate dabbled with being mean, but I don’t get the sense that he’s been a bully his whole life. You can be a major jerk a few times  and course correct. Would that happen so quickly? Maybe not. I don’t know exactly the role Jade is supposed to be playing in this. The relationship is odd in that she barely speaks to him.

My take on the Jade relationship is that she loves him for him.  She asks nothing of him and simply enjoys his company.  He is finally seeing what it's like to be loved like that, and to be able to reciprocate it.  He's maturing.  I did dislike her in the beginning when she was snotty to him at the restaurant, but now looking back, I wonder if she was just entirely unimpressed with the fact that he was some bigshot coach and wasn't interested in fawning over him (like her manager does).  It was only after she saw that he really was a decent person, who brought his parents in for dinner and who was kind and respectful, that she began to be interested in him.  [/quote]
