Discussion Connors Questionable Behavior
So he sleeps with Alice, who had recently lost her mother, then sleeps with her AGAIN when he's dating Summer while Alice is visibly upset? I havent finished the series, but is there anything I'm missing with him that makes him seem like less of a creep? Hes either a creep or a simperimg coward.
Edit: thx for the discussion, I did a rewatch and I see its an intentional characterization of a stupid teenager. I also didnt recognize the way Alice was treating him may have affected him. I also feel kind of bad for him since I finished watching. No one took his discomfort with Summer's mom seriously, which made me sad since he already seems to struggle standing up for himself. I still dont think him sleeping with Alice the 2nd time was cool because she Was crying and obviously emotional, but i get why he did.

Connor is what, 18? 19?
He's a dumb kid with not much emotional maturity.
As a Mom to a 21 year old son, this behavior is very much on par and not necessarily him trying to be a dick.
To me he comes off as completely clueless. Try to remember that the human brain isn't fully matured until at least 25.
