#in the show anyway with the rivals to friends and then ALL THE PINING AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

[waldensblog]

So I’ve been reading a few romance novels lately and one thing that I have come to realize is that I really don’t like insta-romance that much. When characters get together after a few days or proclaim their love within a matter of weeks it just feels unrealistic and rushed to me. 

I don’t know if it’s exactly “slow burn” that I like (because I don’t know how others may define that), but I know I like when the characters initially meet, yeah maybe they notice like “oh they’re hot”, but they don’t act on it, and then as they get to know each other over weeks or months, there is pining... circling... I want to feel frustrated that they’re not together, so that when that first kiss comes or they finally get together, I’m like “YES!!!!!!!!”
