what makes keith the perfect boyfriend? Aside from the extra dose of crazy that is elliot he puts up with, he still manages a combination of both giving her what she wants and he gets what he wants too which is...getting her what she wants. I suppose there is usually a package deal that comes with the ever devoted partner and that is...they want the same in return. They want you to fawn over them and not survive without their constant reassurance. And then you have the other parallel wherein they don't give a crap and most likely, they really don't. So we go back to keith. the balance. the ghost of the perfect partner who's confident (therefore not needy or clingy) but still gives you all the attention and affection you need. is there anyone out there who can stand elliot as a girlfriend? yeah there is...but chances are he doesn't want her to survive without him. that's not healthy.
love isn't cramming your whole life into another person's. it's having your own identity but making a little bit of room for someone else. I see that in my friends' relationships now. They're healthy and happy. If you don't have your own life, what do you have to share then?
oh and did i mention he plays his fantasy roles well?
who am i kidding...i'd still rather be kissed by zach braff! check out the clip...(warning: spoiler)
This is my world. This is who I am. And I'm not gonna give up myself to make your life better. And you want me to change. I can't get used to
all you want me to be and I just can't pretend to be anyone else 'cause it's not really me. - Darius Rucker
