There’s a level of immaturity in the fact Gale that he didn’t realize he had feelings for Katniss until Darius said something.
He didn’t say or do anything for months.
In fact he didn’t say anything, until after Katniss returned from the Games. (To be fair I think he was at the Justice Building in THG.)
And it’s not until Katniss is in a (fake) relationship with Peeta that he kisses her/ tells her how he feels.
Oh brother, don’t get me started on his reaction to seeing Katniss and Finnick speaking in D13.
IMO Gale only wants Katniss when he thinks someone else wants her.
It comes off as possessive and dismissive of Katniss’s feelings.
