He wasn't the nicest person to her In run away little boy, but that was only because he was hurt and frustrated. You can plainly see his hurt when Rory mentions that she and Bagboy are doing good, and that he is confused and doesn't know what to do around her (that whole taking the book out, then putting it back in). Also, when he denies that it was her that he kissed, it's easy to see that he was joking and he quickly ammended himself. He could have just as easily blown her off if he was a true "jerk" but he didn't. He was kind and never let out their secret.
Also, I never knew the reason why the kiss was such a big deal to Rory. I mean if it was all a big accident and didn't mean anything, why is she so worried about telling Dean? What right does Bagboy have to get upset if Rory accidentaly kissed someone WHILE THEY WERE BROKEN UP!? This shows that she has some fear of his jealous tendancies. If they were truely on the same level, she wouldn't be worried about telling him. Isn't honesty the basis of all relationships?
About the banter - Tristan being a playboy has nothing to do with the ability for Rory and him to have effective bantering sessions. Even C/L aren't always kind in their words, but they are nicer because they have had years of this, years to get to know one another. I'm willing to bet that their banter started off quite similar to that of R/t's.

Well of course Tristan doesn't know Rory as well as he would like to, and he probably knows that she won't get jealous, but probably hanging on to small hopes he does it anyway. And as Paris said, Tristan has gone through a lot in his life and you can't just drop the sheild that you have had up for years at the flick of a hat. Of course Rory isn't the "typical teenage girl" (whatever that is!), but the times that Tristan did try to drop the facade, not for anyone else only her, and show his caring side, Rory tended to shun him anyway. Rory and Dean are "real" in their way because of where they were brought up, their family life. Tristan isn't used to that kind of life but because of his care for Rory, he tries to overcome that. And as for evidence of Tristan's intelligence - Rory admitted it herself. She said herself that he was smart. Also, it's not possible to survive at a school like Chilton without a high degree of intelligence, no matter how much money one has. And his conversation's with Rory did display intelligence. I never said that he is Rory's male counterpart, because he isn't. He is quite different from her, but they seem to able to teach each other alot. And is there something wrong with military school? I'm convinced that the reason that Tristan began to behave so crazily last season is because the show needed to get rid of him, and fast. So although he is in military school right now, he has too much of a social standing to deny himself a successful future.
As for Dean offering support and love, this is not always true. For the debutante ball, Rory had to bribe him (with BattleBots) to attend it with her, and also endure quite a bit of complaining on his part. He just broke up with her and showed no understanding when she didn't return his sentiments. Just because he knows that other guys are drawn to her doesn't mean that he should go crazy the way he did when Jess bid on Rory's basket and won. He makes Rory feel guilty and asks her to give up on a tradition just because he is uncomfortable with Jess. He should trust her enough to know that no matter what Jess tries, she will keep control.
Rory does not need a male version of her but rather someone who will not rely on a simple three words to carry a relationship. She needs someone that shares at least some of her interests and beliefs as well as someone who will trust her.

ok i just read all of the posts.
Tristan does come off as a jerk, i admit that. But we're not talking about how much of a jerk he is here, we're supposed to be talking about who is better for Rory. And just because sometimes he acts like a jerk (A.S-P did make him out to a total jerk, her dialogue and his actions created a complex character, not just a one-dimentional one. It is obvious that there is more to him than the cocky facade) doesn't mean that he is not compatible with Rory. In actual fact, he is a better match for her. He can be really sweet and since it is apparent that he really likes her, he would appreciate her.
As for Dean, he is sweet, i'll admit that. But he is too overprotective, jealous of Rory. He doesn't trust her enough and he doesn't understand her as well as he should (He broke up with her because she wasn't ready to say I LOVE YOU for Pete's sake!) He's not secure enough in thier relationship to let her interact with other guys (i.e Jess) and she is always having to explain herself to him, to calm him down.

i know i haven't been around much and i really don't have time to go through sara's entire post but here are a just a little tad of my opinion...
There was never solid proof that Rory ran crying from the kiss because it reminded her of Dean. And in that scene we see that Tristan does indeed have a really sweet side and that he is vulnerable. The only reason that he is such an idiot towards Rory is because she is different from all the girls that he is used to. She resists his advances because she is better than the bimbos that he is used to. He doesn't know how to act around her and is confused because he is used to having everything. However, if he didn't really like her and care about her, he would go through the trouble of chasing her the whole school year - making out with Summer on Rory's locker (obviously to make her jealous), going to the trouble of getting her those PJ Harvey tickets only to be rejected in front of much of the Chilton population. He does harbour real feelings for her and if she could see past the facade and the cockiness to the obvious caring soul within she would see that they are really compatible. Rory need somewho whom she can converse with intelligently, something that Dean can't offer her. Tristan has a guaranteed great future ahead of him, he will be able to enter college with her, because intelliectually and socially there are on the same level. They are obviously more compatible.
k well that's all for now!
