I love how you offer these opinions that sound highly informed on the source material, only to then clarify that you are not actually familiar with said material.
It adds layers to the original thought.
Which I actually agree with. And man, if all slash relationships were, in reality, co-dependent relationships, hell if all romantic implications were actually about co-dependency, then we'd be so totally and absolutely screwed up FUBAR would need a higher gradation to explain it. Mostly though, I think it speaks to the collective fantasy of what romantic (either in terms of general interest or any given specific action) is, the example of Edward Cullen stalking Bella comes to mind, as I understand he broke into her house or something? and she thought this was the cutest thing ever (ahem, I'm not familiar with the source material here, either ::fist bumps you::), I'm torn on whether to find this vaguely worrying, or downright scary.
