Patrick is a confusing character

Comment:

So I just turned 19 & still learning about life and people and love. And Patrick was sweet and smart but completely confusing to me when it came to his relationship with Alice. When he broke up with Alice, he said that penny was nice but “she wasn’t you”… Like he couldn’t figure that out while he and Alice were together? Cuz I’ve had a boyfriend say that once. Then he dated other girls but also seemed to have a problem when he thought Alice was taking interest in a college boy and Tony. And even though he broke up with Alice and dated other girls, he said he was hurt when he read she was engaged. The only thing I wonder is what if it hadn’t been Alice in that airport? What if it had been penny or marcie or amanda or jessica? Would he had gone for them or would he still had loved Alice? Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad Patrick chose Alice and decided she was the one for him but still. He’s weird 😂 I thought this was a question only the author could answer ❤

Love is complicated, isn’t it?   Life is full of “what if’s.”   Maybe he would have married someone else.  Maybe they both would. And maybe they would both be happy.  Maybe one would be happy and one would be sad….  Maybe, maybe….. The fact is, there isn’t just one person in the whole world that is “right” for you or for any girl.  Most people only date a few before they make their choice, and in picking and choosing and breaking up and trying a different person, they finally find one that they like best–someone they are most comfortable with.  Sometimes they have to make a lot of mistakes before they figure that out.
