Why would Clem grow to LIKE LIKE Ben?

She says Ben is "nice."

Whenever girls say a guy is "nice," that means they want to pat their heads and be nice to them. Not screw their brains out.

then again, most of you posting are probably older teens/young men who know nothing of women, but take it from a woman: most girls/women who say a guy is just "nice" don't picture him as a suitable partner. you need way more traits than that, including not ditching us when we're in danger.

:/ my boyfriend and I got together at those ages.

we're still together 6+ years later.

Makes sense then that you would think a Clem and Ben pairing is actually an option, then.

Ehh... My best friend's mother was 27, and her father was 19 when she was born. When both partners are over 18, it doesn't matter anymore. It's not "pedophilia" if they are both legally considered as adults.

Still, I don't even want to think about Clementine with Ben, just no. It's too weird and stupid.

Again, I never said she WILL fall in love with Ben, but in the eventuality that both of them survived long enough for Clem to grow up, then MAYBE she could have a crush on him. MAYBE. And if Ben wasn't interested, well, it wouldn't mean nothing.

are you a moron?

I've been arguing that personality-wise, Clem would never go after Ben.

read posts before you presume to know what people think/feel.

My b. Your first post was a little ambiguous. But then I don't really know who, if anyone, was arguing for Ben and Clem...

If anything, I could see Ben starting to crush on an older Clem, and her patting his head and telling him, "We'll always be friends to the end, Benjamin."

whereupon he'd start whining, I gather..

I was asking zev zev, Kaserkin, and anybody else who saw them as a potential item why they thought Clem would feel romantically towards someone as incapable as Ben... I don't see it. (Not that I don't like him, but he's a weak person, and Clem's strong. Usually that equates to wanting a strong partner, or at least someone semi-capable.)

Well then, I'm glad we agree. Sorry about all that.

Why not? It's another possibility we'll never explore since Benjamin "Ben" Paul is impaled on a railing with a bullet in his head.

no prob. I didn't realize I came across as being in the Clem-crush club, cause quite frankly the only thing heavy on her mind seemed to be finding her parents.

and drawing leaves, but well.

There's no proof Kenny shot Ben.

Maybe in the end, Kenny pulled the spite of all spites after making sure Lee couldn't witness it:
looked Ben dead in the eye, shot himself in the face, and left a still-living Ben alive to endure the hordes eating him, the nightmare that haunted his waking hours.

Payback is a b!tch.

Again, Ben is getting alot more capable in ep 5. It's still Ben, but he could get better. I personally don't think either of them will be attracted to each other. All I was writing about is that there is a possibility that it COULD happen. Maybe. In a few years time. Anyway I would prefer a brother/sister relationship between them, which is a lot more probable.

I would prefer a mother/son relationship.

And I'm dead serious.

He shot him, since Ben's final words were cut at the same time Kenny shot his bullet, and you can still hear Kenny fighting the zombies after. And I think it was clear that Kenny finally forgave Ben.

Clem is just a little girl, not some kind of badass like the little girl in Kick-Ass. She is naive and doesn't listen to what Lee says: such as "stay in the house". If they were to be totally on their own, Ben and herself could survive only a few days.

Pretty much the sole motivator for Clem to disobey Lee was her parents. Now that she knows they're gone, she has no reason to be unruly like that anymore.
