Ok I love the parallels of Charlotte and Andy! I’ve always seen Charlotte’s reserved nature as calculated and Andy’s aloofness as effortless — but I so see their similarities here, especially in keeping their cards close and avoiding certain “girlish” tendencies to gain respect.
This comparison is so interesting and I definitely agree with you! I think that Andy embodies a particular Y2K romcom heroine type of "coolness" that leans more avoidant or secure in terms of attachment. I think that Charlotte might be more anxious at heart but she's learned to temper her desires in the name of the dating game... we see this when she's like "I just want to be a fairy princess in the forest!" or something to Trey during their sex counselling phase lol.
