It was fine. I understand the thought process, I really do, but I don’t like the pigeonholing and stereotyping. You can be whoever you want to be and then also date whoever you want to. There aren’t rules like we think there are. So, maybe that sort of rubbed me the wrong way about this. Instead of opening up, he continually just wrote people off and didn’t even give them a chance. I don’t think that’s fair and I know teens are selfish, but when you’re 18, you’re not THAT bad. 

I don’t know. It wasn’t my favorite. But I DID love the Sk8er Boi reference at the end. That made me laugh.
