I had issues with the romance myself, but then had to ask myself if I was thinking it was unbelievable simply because she was thin and beautiful, and he was dumpy and clutzy. I had to ask myself if it was possible for a 'pretty' girl to fall for an oh-so-'regular' guy, and how much of the cultural stereotype I was allowing myself to be manipulated by.

*chuckle* I had the opposite reaction; I really didn't like her much at all, as a person, and didn't see much of what he saw in her (then again, his character is much more my kind of guy than her character is my kind of girl). But even not liking her personally, I didn't get why she'd make the decisions she did about the relationship, etc.
