And then decides to ask her to dance. <br /><br />'Accidentally' meets her in the woods several times. <br /><br />Doesn't want her to know that it was him who saved the reputation of her sister because that might make her feel obligated to accept his feelings.<br /><br />I mean he's proud and judgemental as well, but he's at least 75% awkward dork. And this is a guy who is at least 26. So you've got this tall, handsome guy wandering around looking disdainful but internally he's kind of an anxious mess.<br /><br />As for Mr Bingley, I'd quite happily marry him. He's an outgoing, personable guy who really just wants everyone to get along. I'm not sure how well we'd suit since I'm actually quite close to Darcy in temperament but I'm sure he'd be a lovely husband. <br /><br />I just really love Pride and Prejudice okay. Darcy's my precious awkward cinnamon roll and Bingley's a huggable cupcake. <br /><br />I can't say I'm a fan of Sparks and Edward Cullen in all his incarnations is scarily abusive so I'm really glad the Twilight craze has died out (although I can't say I'm enamoured of the subsequent 50 Shades craze).

That is sad, and so is the obsession with Mr. Darcy. However, every other thing I agree with you totally on. The girls presented a lot of common sense in different parts of the book, but sooo often over-stated themselves in the unrealism that people of their advanced QF ilk generally believe in.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905272108326085380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3627300702021032288.post-71937540224476436342016-04-24T11:20:12.804-04:002016-04-24T11:20:12.804-04:00I would rather have Darcy,Bingly,or Whickham over ...I would rather have Darcy,Bingly,or Whickham over Edward Cullen any day.
