Lost in that dress the interviewer is wearing. Beautiful Spring piece....Back to our regularly scheduled program (I'm with Aisha, what exactly did Pinstripe do wrong? The female friendship is the ultimate selling point for me w/this show. And Meghan is right rarely is it portrayed in story-telling. Kudos to TBT! )
Ryder Parker I remember all of that and still I ask what did he do wrong specifically when they were together? He and Jane were very open with each other and amicably parted ways when their expectations from the ship differed. Jane and Ryan’s breakup was so mature that the two of them remained friends. When he was ready to be exclusive, yes she was dating someone else and he acknowledged that but took his shot. Oh and just because I don’t see things your way doesn’t make me ignorant. And I’ve never blamed Jane for anything. You made so many damn assumptions from my one question which one of the performers (a female) put forth first.
And I'll ask it more clearly what did he do wrong specifically when they WERE TOGETHER? No lies were told. They both knew where the other stood. Jane tried it Ryan's way. Didn't like it and they parted. Both Pinstripe and I already acknowledged he was wrong to kiss her when she was in a relationship.
I'm with Aisha too, she said we all make mistakes. Jane and mr stripe were having fun when they were together and also had a fight about the baggage Mr stripe brought to the table, so she met Ben, who was Mr perfect and never did wrong and had all the answers to Jane's medical questions because he was a dr. So Jane going back and choosing mr. Stripe says more than enough about who and what she wants. _Imperfection wins_
@Ryder Parker first of all, the thing about slut-shaming is that we should _stop_ shaming girls who have a lot of sex, not _start_ shaming guys who do. ryan was very clear on where he stands from the beginning and so was jane? she was fine with the way things were between them until she decided that it just wasn't for her and she wanted an exclusive relationship. and it's not like ryan said anything against that? he let her go, no questions asked because unlike jane he _didn't_ want anything exclusive at the time. i really don't see anything wrong with that? it would be much worse to pretend to want a relationship when that's just not who he was. and it's not like he just decided, like, "oh yeah, jane's got a boyfriend now so now i'm interested." he's always shown some kind of romantic interest in her but never wanted to act on it because relationships weren't who he is and what he wanted for so long. and yes, jane started dating ben then, but that's not the reason he finally changed his mind. like jane, he simply realized that he wants love and not just sex. it's called growth. i agree that kissing jane even though she had a boyfriend was wrong but he also left immediately when she told him to and it's kinda the only bad thing he "did" to jane and i don't think it's so huge that he deserves to be demonized over it. ryan's always been supportive of jane, he just wasn't always sure where he stands with his feelings. there's literally nothing wrong with that?
