you can't force someone to be w/ you. he wanted to be engaged right then and there or nothing at all. she was 19, wanted to pursue her dream, and wasn't ready to move back w/ him and settle down. i can't blame her b/c i've watched people give up their dreams really young like that to get married...and the resentment and regret from it eventually ruined the marriage. she begged him to stay in the relationship eventhough she wasn't ready to get engaged/married. he still walked away, so what more could she do? anyhow, i see a caring relationship b/w lucas and lindsay, but i don't see passionate love. i call her a rebound b/c after all this time, lucas still seems to want peyton. they've been alluding to it all season long w/ all the little thngs he keeps saying and doing (telling her that bartender she flirted w/ wasn't good enough for her, giving her the space to start up her record co., kissing her back instead of pulling away, etc.) the first two could just be acts of friendship, but lindsay is right that most exes don't remain close like that. it just seems to me like everytime he feels hurt by peyton, he tries turning to another girl eventhough he isn't (and never seems to be) over her.
I agree with this. It seems to me like Lucas knows he still loves Peyton which is he why he kissed her back, and that scares him b/c he's afraid that she will hurt him all over again and he would rather stay "safe" with Lindsey then take yet again another risk on Peyton. I don't really think Peyton had much of a choice in whether they stayed together and got married later on b/c it seemed like Lucas wanted it to be now or never type of thing. I think he's just so set on the idea of finding the "perfect" marriage. So I don't think Peyton had any choice but to let him walk away..b/c that was his choice to end the relationship entirely.

He could have easily pushed her away and said "No I love Lindsey" but he didn't..he grabbed her back and kissed her more. image Then he ran to Lindsey and proposed b/c he was scared. And DID he use the same ring or was it a different one? HmMMm image

I agree that Naley just isn't the same this season and it is making me mad. Skank Nanny needs to drop dead. She's fn annoying. She tries too hard. I am really nervous that Nathan will give into the temptation.

I am proud of Mouth for standing up to his ugly boss...about time.

And Brooke is still my favorite as always.
