Oh dear lord. Jason, who is all of 20, is engaged to a 19 year old. Why do young kids get engaged so early? It's not like in our grandparents (or even our parents) era where 19 and 20 year olds were responsible men and women...not boys and girls. Why don't they just go steady (do people still do that or is that just passe)? Why don't they just date for maybe a year or two and then get engaged... Engagements used to mean something. Now, it just seems like it's the thing to do before breaking up...

I bet it'll last as long as Talan's engagement.

And then she crowed that Audrina was better off because she doesn't want a boyfriend who wears combat boots to the beach. She seemed more happy that Justin was proven to be a tool, rather than totally concerned about Audrina's feelings.

I can understand her being a little unhappy when her friends get boyfriends, I think I probably was at that age. I mean, she's still young, 21, she hangs with her friends all the time. It always changes the dynamics of your friendship; you don't hang out as much, have to make plans around the boyfriends plans. It kind of sucks.

BUT I think Lauren is being a friend by being honest with how she feels about the way her friend's boyfriends treat them. It's a matter of respect. I think if Justin-Bobby had not left Audrina in Las Vegas, she would have given him a chance. I even think had he acted more like a man than a 5 year old boy when they all met for drinks, Lauren would have possibly 'fogiven' him for treating Audrina so badly in Las Vegas. My friends were the same way when I was dating and I'm greatful for that!

I can also understand her being hesitant and a little worried when her friends bring boys around considering what has gone down with Heidi because of Spencer.

Until Lauren's friends bring home a decent guy, which so far has not happened, to see how she reacts to them I think she's justified with her dislike for her friends. I mean

Justin-Bobby and Spencer definitly not the creme de la creme of boyfriends!!!!

Now if Lauren dates another Jason and turns out to be just like her friends, I'll be disappointed.

I think a lot of people can advise other people better than the can advise themselves. Lauren may not have picked the best boyfriends herself, but she can recognize it when her friends are dating arses. To me, she didn't seem to gloat or be happy when Justin Bobby abandoned Audrina at the party. She looked genuinely sad.

Not that these girls live at home or anything, but my father would've gone through the roof if a guy picked me up and took me out and then left me to come home by myself. It's just rude. And if that's how he's acting when he's trying to woo her back...it just doesn't bode well. Even when I'd pick up a girlfriend to go out for the evening, there's no way I'd leave her to fend for herself. I'd make sure she got back home safely before I went home myself.

I think a lot of young girls enjoy the drama of dating boys who treat them badly. And until they get over that, there'll be a lot more Spencers, Jasons and Justin Bobbys on this show...

That long, huh?

I know when I was young and first getting into those serious feelings with guys I came to mistake drama for love. Those are all very big feelings and sometimes they can get addicting. It's like a drug and if keep riding the roller coaster the lows are usually only equalled by the highs.....It sometimes takes a little while to realize there is a better way.

Exactly! I get caught up in my verbiage so i wouldn't have been able to express this as well as you just did. The thing is, it's been spelled out to homeboy with combat boots that Audrina will sit there waiting for the train to hit her because she just doesn't know any better.
He doesn't acknowledge her for the rest of the afternoon and then leaves without saying anything, next week they're having dinner. So in between that what does she have? "Oh, he's sorry, he didn't mean to and he wont do it again. He promised, yeah."
Im not a martyr for nonsense like this so i couldn't put up with it.

Maybe he is trying out for "Engaged and Under Age".

Where does Jason get the money to buy a 4ct engagement ring?

tickerrose · 08-30-2007, 09:00 AM

Jason has got some money. I actually think he is one of the richest ones on the show. Remember on LB when he and Lauren first starting going on dates. Remember his grandparents house? I think this kid is loaded.

Lois Lane · 08-30-2007, 10:44 AM

I think Jason's family has money...I don't think he personally has money, which means that his parents/grandparents probably gave him the money for the ring. I don't think doling out money to him and rewarding him for driving drunk is doing the kid any favors. You want to get engaged at 20? Then get a job and buy the ring yourself--or, rather, whatever ring your can afford with your income... How does he plan on supporting his young bride-to-be while she is still a full-time student? If they get married, he/she should pay for her education and not rely on her parents to pay it.
