| Random rant: I think it's unfiar to say that this entire time, the entire 30 something years she's been living, she's been using guys to fill the gaps in her life. Wasn't there a long period of time where she didn't date anyone at all? Pre-Max? And in between all the broken relationships, I really don't think she was heart-broken as a single mom. When she opened the Inn, the show made it clear that a part of her had fallen into place. She is not a longing, pathetic woman when she's single; she just dreams of that partner, that person that makes you complete. Don't we all?
Season 4, TISL:
LORELAI: You know, there are very few times in my life when I find myself sitting around thinking, "I wish I was married," but today, I mean -- I'm happy. You know? I like my life. I like my friends. I like my stuff. My time, my space, my TV.
LUKE: Yeah, sure.
LORELAI: But every now and then, just for a moment, I wish I had a partner, someone to pick up the slack. Someone to wait for the cable guy, make me coffee in the morning, meet the stupid sink before it gets sent back to Canada. [wanders to nearby bench and sits]
I agree, Lorelai needs a lot of alone time, a lot of soul searching time. She needs to figure out what she truly wants. But to say that she has jumped from one guy to another because she can't or doesn't want to stand on her own two feet is unfair to her character.
By the way, thanks for all the info JumpinJulie. (Is the 04 a graduation year?)
