I wish Jon and Amanda didn't have this "FWB" thing going on. I wish they would have started out slowly, dated, talked, and THEN started having sex.
Their conversation really bugged me the other day. Jon thinks the "relationship" is only casual (so far), and I think Amanda needs to be honest with him and tell him how much she really cares about him. I think Jon would want to know the truth. Am I wrong? It just seems weird to me that they're in such different places with the relationship, and Jon has no idea what Amanda really feels.

Is that what they have? (sorry I'm really out of the loop) Isn't that exactly what she had with Jamie? come to think of it, isnt it the same storyline then?

Yeah, I but I think that's going to be the whole point of the storyline, Amanda having feelings for jon and Jon not realizing it until it's too late and he's hurt her and then maybe Jon falling for her after the fact. kinda sucky, but frankly, I don't give a poo who Jon is with as long as it's entertaining and not related to lily. By the way, can someone explain where do whole "Do you believe in Love" thing came from the other day? Was Jon supposed to be referring to Lily or just making small talk with his FWB? Or was it just a weird convo starter with no build-up courtsey of the lovely writing team?

I thought he might get jealous about the guy who asked for her number, but then it went right over his head. That was disappointing.

Like, maybe the reason Jonathan asked that in the first place is because he's starting to fall for her. But like Amanda, doesn't want to admit it, thinking it might ruin their friendship or something. Could be way off, but I just have a feeling that's how this is gonna go.

I want someone to have a conversation with Jonathan about how wrong/misguided his relationship with Lily was and how the fact that even after he was "recovered" he still didn't see the inappropriatness of it is an indication that he maybe has some issues he needs to work on---in therapy! I know he's getting sexual healing from Amanda but I think some emtional/psychological healing with a psychiatrist is really needed.

I think Amanda kinda painted herself into a corner. She made a big deal about it being one night - no committment. But she already had feelings for him. And why would Jon turn down what he thought was no-strings-attached sex - especially after a 2 yr dry spell ;D Hopefully, he'll come around. But remember that conversation with Erin? - He's kinda lost right now and doesn't know where he fits in. Poor Jon's so confused I think you're right Amy - he needs some serious therapy. He just moved out of a hotel in with a virtual stranger who's husband he just killed. His heart is broken. He's never even met his nephew, and all he ever does is work and well, um...spend time with Amanda. Now, I want to give him a big old hug.

;D ;D ;D ;D I kinda walked right into that one. I'd certainly take the FWB package when it came to him. Who can blame Amanda?

jon has a lot to learn about love - falling in love etc ( ;D ;Dso do i!!!! ;D ;D) but they both seem to be feeling the obvious but not stating it!!!
i don't think jonathan can be "settled" in his life until he is settled in life. he has to come to terms with his childhood - ryan escaped and erin had to watch but jonathan had to live it. and the fact he hurt and murdered people (besides terry) has to be hard to live with. yes, it was a tumor but to live with the fact you caused so much destruction? he has to come to terms..................... so i say WRITERS - DON'T SCREW THIS ONE UP!!!!

I am with you guys. I think therapy sessions would help the entire Lavery family deal with their pasts. Think of the s/l's this would create, if done right (we can only hope). I feel that Jon is just lost right now, and maybe afraid of a real relationship right now. His track record has not been that great in the past! And speaking of Amanda, what was the deal with her and Josh yesterday? It looked like she was flirting with him.

Amanda and Josh were pretty cozy weren't they? I don't know where that came from, especially since she all but admimtted to Jonathan that she was in love with him (quick cover up Amanda ;D).
And you said it so well, Charity. Jon has got a lot of ghosts to deal with first. He needs a new s/l. I hope they take him down that road - it's about time so he can move on. Then maybe he can have something meaningful with Amanda or whoever.
