Max is icky
I never liked Max because he gave me a weird vibe when I was younger, and now that I'm rewatching it, I can see why. He's very coercive and will not take no for an answer. She's given him multiple reasons why she didn't think they should date, but he's clearly in it for the chase. And now I'm watching the episode where Rory is in Hartford and it's snowing, and she's telling him multiple times why he shouldn't come in her house, but he just WILL NOT STOP until she lets him in. No wonder I didn't like him, he's an unsafe man parading as the "nice" guy. Eeeyuckk.
