Chapter 7-13

Rob is conflicted because, like we talked about in class, he wants what he can’t have and when he gets it he doesn’t want it anymore. He only wants to be with Laura when she does not want to be with him. It’s kind of weird. And it is kind of bugging me a little bit. Towards the end of chapter 13 he calls Laura again and asks her about getting back together, so he’s doing it again. I don’t really know what is going on with Rob at this point. I’m a little confused. He seems to want to get back together with Laura. His relationship with Marie is nothing more then the one night that they spent together. Marie is similar to him in that she wanted him because she thought that he didn’t even like her. She was intrigued by him. But then after they sleep together, their relationship becomes kind of awkward and weird. Rob is behaving like this because he is still depressed about his relationship with Laura and then after sleeping with Marie she tells him that she just wanted to sleep with someone and it ended up being one of the first guys that she met in England. Marie telling Rob this and the awkward way that their romantic experience ended probably only made Rob's depression a little worse. Even though he says that the night had not been humiliating for both of them, I think that the way that it ended made it an overall awkward experience.
