Note: I’m using examples from throughout the seasons here, including recent episodes so watch out for spoilers if you aren’t up to date. There’s quite a lot of references to The Lonely Heart’s Job which makes up for the fact I didn’t do a reaction post for that, I hope. Okay, onto the meta:

I was going to say that while I see where you're coming from with your arguments, I disagree with your conclusions regarding Nate & Sophie - and interestingly, it's something I didn't realize until I made this video with both of the on-screen kisses Nate had up until that point:
See the difference? In the kiss with Sophie, Nate is confident to the point of arrogance. He is *absolutely* secure in his feelings and what he's doing to express them. On the other hand, I think it can be argued that Sophie is genuinely terrified of what's happening. That isn't just emotionally overwhelmed - that's *scared*.

"The Lonely Hearts Club Job" cemented everything for me - I think the *only* thing that Nathan Ford is 100% sure of in his life is that he loves Sophie Devereaux. I don't think the problem has ever been their feelings for each other either - the problem is each of ( ... )

I definitely see the point you're making - I don't think I really explained mine properly because I definitely don't think what I said is the only layer to their relationship - and I also really saw it when I re-watched The Lonely Heart's Club Job last night. It's not really something I've thought about before - I knew they both had fears but your take on it really makes sense so thanks for commenting :)
(I don't know whether any of the above ramble made sense but it's not even 10am where I am yet so I'm using that as my excuse!)
