guys, i know mason is just a teen and doesn’t know any better, but from a standpoint of someone trying to figure out who they want to be with like mc’s, here are all the reasons why mason as a dating prospect is a huge red flag:
mason is selfish
after ALLL these years of liking mc, he only does smth about it when he feels threatened. why does it have to take mc being happy with someone else for you to finally try?🤔 he claims he didn’t say anything before bc he didn’t want to risk their friendship, but none of that seemed to matter as soon as noah was in the picture... i’m sorry but the reason that mason only fights for you out of jealousy is not cute
mason is a coward
this is gonna sound cheesy but you deserve to be with someone who isn’t afraid to be with you. someone who sees how great you are and seizes the opportunity to be with you. mason has been a coward for YEARS due to fear. whereas for noah, despite the fear you very well could reject him for mason knowing that you liked mason, noah knows you’re worth it and shows he’s interested in you ASAP (sounds like the kind of person you’d want to me👀!)
mason is dumb
despite being well aware that dating ava could complicate your friendship or any chance of dating you in the future, he still does it. if mason really wanted to see if he can be with you before he dated ava, mans boy could have waited until you both cooled off after your fight. oh wait! but he didn’t. he couldn’t wait even ONE DAY after for you. and actually, i’m realizing that whole “don’t wanna risk our friendship” excuse sounds like BULL if he was willing to risk it by dating ava w/o talking to you
mason is insensitive
god this one infuriates me... there are so many examples of this, let’s quick fire a few:
is constantly rude to noah
admits he left ava for mc in front of ava (and mc and noah)
shoots his shot with mc right after he just humilated and broke up with her bff
idk guys he just has no awareness nor respect for others’ feelings, or worse, he does and frankly just doesn’t care
mason is possessive
starts a fight with noah over mc & tries to control who she hangs with? BIIIIGGG YIKES
tl;dr: if you want someone who respects/appreciates you and your happiness properly, mason is not the one sweetie!
