Okay, so i went with a completely different title, hope its ok.

It just kinda conveys how we were saying we think Jess is it for Rory, even tho i love Logan right now I still want Jess to be her final and true love.

[MariSk8]

Heya, I'm new here..I've been looking for awhile but never posting...'cause well...I'm lazy, anyways, I thought that maybe the next thread (I know it's a little soon to be thinking about that but anyways) could have the title 'Because we're still waiting for the next time' when he said he wouldn't have the black eye on the next dinner he'd go.

BTW: With this whole Liz might be moving to Stars Hollow thing, maybe Milo would come back as a guest star for a few episodes...

[Airie]

That's a great suggestion, Mari. (For the next title, specifically.)

[madelen]

Thanks for starting the new thread Maz!

Welcome Mari! Hope to see you posting here more often.
And I like your suggestion too.

[~Maz~]

welcome MariSk8 and great suggestion, we'll have to remember it near the end.

Boy, i really miss them.

If Liz moved to SH it would give Jess even more of a reason to visit. I really wouldn't mind if he came back again for a short time like before, but this time he and Rory actually talk like adults instead of running from their issues.

[Playing The Angel]

Thanx for the new thread Maz

Welcome Mari the title suggestion.

[TinyTin]

Great title. And it's the truth!

Lovely fanart, btw.

[madelen]

Yeah, the fanart is beautiful, Maz!

[Juli236]

I miss Jess sooooooooo much!!! I need her to get back together with him, they were the reason why I began to LOVE GG

[heaven85]

Thanks for the new title Maz!!! I love all the fanart.

Mari, great suggestion, that would be a good idea and it would make some sense since they have been talking.

[~Maz~]

aww, i so miss these two.

So, if Jess and Rory hadn't split and Rory started Yale, how do you think their relationship would be? WOuld it be strained with her in Yale? Would Jess feel like an outsider to her life, or would he blend into it easily?

[madelen]

If they had talked about it properly. If they had made sure that both of them were OK with each others decisions (Rory OK with Jess not wanting to go to college and maybe not graduating, and Jess with Rory being away and doing something he wouldn't be so interested in) I think they would have a great relationship.

I don't think Jess would've felt like an outsider, it would kind of be the same thing as when she was at Chilton. Jess wasn't really a part of that either. But, it could of course be hard to be a part from each other (if Jess would still live in SH) .

[Playing The Angel]

Yeah I think if they had talked about it everything would have been fine, aslong as Rory understood that going to college was something he wasn't interested in doing, and he understood that she wanted to go.

[~Maz~]

yeah same here. i think it would have been great. I dont think there would have been a huige problem, except that she lived far, but then again 22.8 miles...Jess looked it up, so im sure he was intending to find a way to be with her more. and she came home alot.

Plus i think he would still be able to talk to Rory about her classes and stuff. Like that scene in SS when Rory is showing Jess a book she's reading. Its so cute because he shares her interests and her showing it to him makes him want to read it too. So whatever Rory was reading about for class, they could still discuss and stuff since Jess reads everything.
