CB from first off had no reason to reat Dan like they did (as much as I love CB) but Dan did, for the way they treated him (which was first off). If people treated me like that, I would think the worst.

Vanessa completely instigated based on her own feelings of vengence and planted a seed of doubt in Dan's mind. I just cannot stand her

And the fact that he decided there were no real feelings there even though Blair explicitly told him otherwise tells me he showed no consideration for her in that moment. And, sure, maybe he didn't have to because he doesn't "owe her anything," but he was definitely playing mind games. If he wasn't messing with her, then he was showing true concern that Chuck would play with her feelings - which is not the story the episode was telling, as far as I could see.

And you're perfectly within your rights to hate Vanessa, I just think that Dan did what he did on his own. I freely admit that if I was pissed for someone about something that was partly my fault, and I was bitching to my bff about it, I probably would neglect to tell them that it was my own damn fault in the first place. V was just bitching, she didn't know Dan was helping Blair with her love life or whatever. If she had realized what Dan was doing or had asked Dan to do it, then it would be a different matter to me.

CB aren't in his life and why should he trust them really?

I don't mean trust at all. I mean he continues to make comments about them like they're bad people even when he clearly knows they're not all bad. They don't have to be in his life for him to do that.

but why should dan have trusted his future to a bunch of teenagers playing games? cb may be great plotters but they aren't his bffs. he has a civil relationship with chuck. but they aren't friends. b has been horrid to him (and him to her) they barely tolerate each other so why should he suddenly lay all this faith in them.

Which is why when people talk about DB having a relationship, I just can't see it. Maybe in a galaxy far, FAR away, but in this universe, Blair doesn't respect Dan enough to date him. And Dan doesn't think too highly of Blair either.

Like Shu said they barely tolerate each other.

Exactly.. Thats is the thing that gets me more mad about 208.. I mean.. He saw a lot of Chuck in 205 and a lot of Blair in 104/208 and still..but well.. that's in the past now! Dan now misses Blair and Chuck...

Nate treated him crappy too, and I don't see him distrusting Nate, who he should really be watching his back for

I dont see this at all, though. I think at the end of the season he had a respect for CB. I dont think he has to trust them though since they arent running in the same circle and they didnt give him any reason to trust them, lol.

Dan has evolved a lot this season for me though I do admit he still has a lot of flaws but if he didnt then he would be pretty uninteresting, lol.

I don't think Jenny is useless, either, lol. I just hate her. Granted, I used to hate her a LOT more pre-2.12, but she's still my least favorite character even though I think she's improved greatly.

a db relationship would be a joke imo. it would simply be hatesex and nothing more and would ruining a bunch of relationships be worth it. it better be some hot damn sex in that case.
