I agree with you. Having lived a bit, I'm aware that people can indeed be very complicated even when things seem different initially, but the beauty of experience is knowing when to avoid getting caught up in all their personal drama, be they close friend or romantic partner, because you can see where it will most likely lead. If Matt requires this much work to land, keeping him would be another animal altogether.
No thanks!
I think Ren is better served looking elsewhere for romance. Matt is hot, sure, but nobody is THAT hot!
Also, I did add a spoiler notation at the top of my previous post.
