She lies to herself.

Robin says that she doesn't want commitment when what she doesn't want is long-term.

She says that she wants fun when what she doesn't want is to share too much of herself.

She says that she doesn't want romance when she just doesn't want to be smothered.

She says that she

awww!! great character portraits!

Absolutely wonderful, sweetie

I really love the way you portray Robin here. It makes a lot of sense actually

[idioticonion]

Thank you. I do have a lot more sympathy for Robin. There's an open relationship and then there's Barney. It would be impossibly hard not to be jealous, with the way he behaves.

I agree with snogged-- This picture of Robin does make a lot of sense to me. Much better than the portrayal of her as a heartless wench that keeps cropping up in some of your other stories. =) And I liked the parallels with Barney's side of the story, too.

I think that her seeming to be oblivious is possibly a red herring. I do think she's considered taking things further with Barney. But I really DO think jealousy would be a thing, from her side.

>And I liked the parallels with Barney's side of the story, too.

Yeah, they are so similar and yet so incredibly different.

And thank you!

Absolutely gorgeous, especially the last few paragraphs about why she can never do anything about her feelings for Barney.

And love how this echoes the words about a look, a smile, something from the previous story from Barney's perspective. Lovely.

[idioticonion]

Thank you! I really DO feel more sorry for Robin.

I think that's got a lot to do with the Role play. *hugs Robin*

[secondmezzanine]

Totally understand. I was somewhat surprised by how much I wanted to cry for her today.

I love character snippets/sketches. Both Robin and Barney have all these expectations about themselves and the other which really makes you feel bad about the way things may turn out.

BTW, CBS made a BRO love video. Did you see it yet Tara?

[idioticonion]

Ooo, yes. I LOVE the CBS video. I went all gooey and sad after watching it.
