I was called high maintenance by an ex. :( I didn't realize I was at all. Maybe I was high maintenance by association. I had to break the habit of always trying to please everyone in my life. Took a long time. Chandler and Monica were such a great fit. Just like Chlollie :D
There's a reason he's an ex then :). Maybe you can let me in on the secret because I'm still in the habit of trying to please everyone (although...it's a weird balance--it's about everyone everyone else as much as it's about me...if that made sense ;). Chandler and Monica are definitely one of my all-time favorite ships.
:) You've already learned the secret. Only say yes, if it's something you want to do, not feel obligated to. And if it makes you happy. :) It's a careful balance. I used to say yes, jumping every time someone came to me. Now I look at what I have got and consider the request instead of immediately just saying yes.
I always thought that Chandler quote was adorable. :-) I never really thought of Chloe as high-maintenance (although she was in this scene), but when you think about it all of her little rules about keeping things casual and no-strings kind of had the opposite effect. She was trying to be low-maintenance but because there were actual feelings involved that Ollie wasn't allowed to acknowledge, it made her high-maintenance.
I never thought of Chloe as high-maintenance either but it was just so cute how Oliver followed her around in that scene while she was being this crazy, frantic little thing and he's like, 'calm down, I bought you a satellite.' :)
I may be overthinking this. XD
No, no--I totally get it. And, using your series again since it's canon for me, she was high-maintenance...making up all those rules from the beginning and Ollie just went along with it seeing it as his way in. And then, of couse her freaking out about a spoon. :)
I love that quote by Chandler! And that scene! Chloe's expression in the 3rd cap makes me want to give her a hug and Ollie makes adorable expressions period. :D
