No Thank you

[Addison's girl]

Why do you think Maddie responded no 'Thank You' when David suggested they dance together more in When Girls Collide?

I'm really not sure... according to your theory about "pals" maybe it was one of her tests? Did she hope for a different reaction, did she want to see if David insisted and continued to pursue her? Honestly, if it was that - I can understand he got sick of it. I call it mind game, but whatever it is, it was not the right moment for it, she should have been far more mature than that. I mean, he had made a step, right? If she wanted him back - there was the approach. A slow approach, but a reaching out for her. She stepped back.

But I don't even think that was her motivation, she sounds so indifferent, no worse: she sounds as if the memories of their time together is nothing but a faint bad taste in her mouth. She sounds as if she's really through with him, as if she means it. It's deeply depressing.

What is your theory?

I have no clue. She seems to be done with him when she is 'graduating' from her therapy sessions. She tells the therapist she doesn't want to get on that roller coaster ride with David again buy yet if you watch the video I posted when Agnes and Maddie talk about David and Annie she seems to want him back. And then making the effort to go to his apartment immediately after finding him with Annie at the hotel leads me to believe she still cared about him. You know darn well she could give a shit for Annie. I think Maddie thought David would always be there at her beck and call and she got a shock. She knew that he was with other women but none of them was a threat to her..either because she didn't see them with him or because she thought they were no threat to her at all. It is a shame.

I wonder what would have happened if Bert didn't interrupt their dance?

[imdavidsgirl]

Hmmm if Bert didnt interupt them? well what could maddie say or david say. He could say well why not? Maddie could say did you really mean dancing David or smth else?? what all your bimbos not available ? He could say id rather spend my time with you is there anything wrong with that. And yes i meant dancing and dinner and maybe a movie too. Forget it then. She could see he was serious and and upset and she feels bad. David i'm sorry i just didn't think you meant it like really going out on dates? yeah well you always think the worst of me. Maddie could say :well then is this a date for me and you ? David: well it could be.
Ok i;m just rambling on sorry probably dumb LOL

I think Maddie was just being same way she was about their relationship before and add on everything that happened to them after . She was afraid ! Afraid of him and afraid of a relationship with him even though i believe she loved him so very much., in her head she still felt that David Addison wasn't serious about a long term relationship with her that it was all sex and he would leave her and go after some bimbo, maybe she was worried what if we got back together and i got pregnant and i lost another child and David leaves me alone again. Bet she was terrified of that! She probably felt alone after they lost the baby maybe she wanted him to fight with her and push himself on her, but he didn't . Maybe they made little passes of flirting but hat was it. Neither of them talked to each other about how they felt. She thought David was probably joking maybe too not being serious in asking her out maybe?

So, we have no real explanation at all! Grrrr... another season 5 hole. From David's reaction - equally detached - I don't think he would have pressed further if Bert had not interrupted. He seems through with them too. God Maddie, what happened to "don't look down"??
