Bell Jar,5-6

When Esther firsts meets Buddy, she spends alot of time admiring him from a far. They went to church for a while, and whenever both of them were home, they saw each other on Sunday's, but their relationship didn't really mean much. Then one day during Christmas break, he told her he might stop by every once and a while at her college to say hi. Well he finally did this, and ended up asking her to the Yale Junior Prom the same day. When they were first dating, they both were extremely happy. Buddy would always plan things so they could always say they had a good time and were never bored. What Esther wanted out of Buddy was for him to be more honest to her. She felt as if he was acting like she was the prettiest, and sexxiest person on the planet, and that he was more innocent than her, when really he was having all sorts of relations with a skanky waiter. She didn't really care about him and the waitress, she just wanted him to be able to tell her, and not act like he is this perfect angel with he is with her. To be honest, while this is a little rude of Buddy to do, I just think Esther is doing like she does with everything. She never wants to be happy with anything she is doing, and once she gets to that point, she starts to think her way out of things.
