Jeff tossed a glance over his shoulder as he left the Greendale Valentine's Day Dance and made his way towards the study room. It looked like no one had seen him leave. A

You seem to be more active lately, and that is certaintly a good thing with work like this. Jeff's cynical romance logic is something to behold, although it is more romantic than cynical deep down. Despite Jeff's anti-marriage and anti-relationship stances, if he ever overcame those beliefs, I imagine he would go all out in that stuff after all - if only to not be a screwup like his dad - and only want to do it with a real, high caliber, equal partner [three guesses as to who], which I kind of go into in my own Valloween special. Extra credt for pointing out Jeff's recent lack of sleeping and seducing around - which the show had better have not forgotten next week.

Yeah, that's why I threw in Annie's line about Jeff not being as cynical as he thinks. He really strikes me as someone who's been emotionally beat down as a child to the point where he just assumes that's how he's supposed to behave, and Annie (and the rest of the group, but mostly Annie) is slowly making him realize that he doesn't have to be like that. I think a quote from Casablanca about Humphrey Bogart's character really sums Jeff up: "You know how you sound, Mr. Blaine? Like a man who's trying to convince himself of something he doesn't believe in his heart."
