Dean and Rory have a sweet love story at the start of Gilmore Girls, and it’s fun watching them go to the Chilton dance, watch movies with Lorelai, and Dean even makes her a pretty bracelet. But despite the couple’s youthful innocence, fans find some parts of Dean’s character problematic and wonder about some of the choices that he makes, especially when he and Rory begin seeing each other again later on in the series.

While Rory and Dean are a popular pair on Gilmore Girls, many fans feel that some parts of their relationship don’t make sense, and viewers are sharing their thoughts on Reddit.

10 Dean And Rory’s Season 5 Breakup

While Gilmore Girls fans debate Rory, Jess, and Dean, it’s definitely true that Rory and Dean’s third time dating can be awkward and problematic.

When some fans discussed a Dean and Rory scene from season 5, Reddit user poppypower6111 said it was strange when Dean is frustrated seeing Rory at a party at Emily and Richard’s house. The fan wrote, “It would have been more in character for him to get angry and jealous, not just bail out quietly. Very bizarre choice.” Many fans are confused that this is the moment that makes Dean break up with Rory, as Rory hasn’t done anything wrong at all.

9 Dean Ends The Relationship When Rory Won’t Say She Loves Him

While Lorelai showing Rory how to get through a breakup is one of the most unforgettable parts of the show, Rory and Dean’s season 1 breakup is confusing for some fans. Viewers aren’t sure why Dean thinks that their relationship is beyond repair. Reddit user JennaSideSaddle doesn’t mind the season 5 split, writing, “I bought this break up MUCH more than the ‘I love you’ break up.”

It does seem like Dean could be more caring and compassionate toward Rory here, giving her some time and space to think through her feelings, especially since she’s young and hasn’t dated anyone before him.

8 Rory Is Hypocritical About Dean Leaving College

Reddit user bronsohs finds it strange that when Dean is interested in taking time away from college, Rory tells him that it’s a horrible idea and yet does the same thing when she leaves Yale in season 6. The fan wrote, “Rory is arguing with Dean about taking time off, he says it is just temporary and she replies lots of people say that and then usually don’t go back and has an argument with him.”

This is one of Rory’s most confusing scenes for sure, as it doesn’t make sense that she would feel so strongly that people should finish their education in a timely manner and then turn around and drop out of college.

7 Dean Seems More On Rory’s Level In Season 1

In some ways, Rory and Jess have a toxic relationship, but they also both love reading, have intellectual banter, and genuinely like each other. When Jess moves to Stars Hollow, he’s meant to be a sharp contrast to Dean, but some fans wonder about this.

One Redditor thinks that Dean’s character changes for the worse as time goes on, explaining, “Dean’s original personality was very interesting” because in season 1, he and Rory can talk about pop culture and books and then it seems like there is a “dumbing down” of him. The fan wrote that maybe this was done so Rory and Jess can have a lot of things in common, but it’s still possible for Dean to remain smart and a great conversationalist.

6 Does Rory Even Want To Date Dean The Third Time?

One Redditor wonders if Rory is even truly interested in Dean in season 5, writing, “i honestly never felt like rory wanted to be with dean. i just assume that he was there and interested in her and she liked being liked.”

Several viewers wonder if Rory and Dean date for the third time because they feel guilty over cheating. It’s definitely possible, and it does seem like Rory could start dating people at Yale and focusing more on her new life instead of looking to the past.

5 Dean Is Too Upset And Jealous Of Tristan

There are some ways Tristan could be Rory’s love interest, although the two never date, and it’s also true that Tristan is a thorn in Dean’s side for his entire relationship with Rory. Some feel that Dean gets too envious of him, though, and that his behavior doesn’t seem logical.

One Redditor explained, “i get that he hates tristan bc he has shown interest in rory before but come on they were working on an assignment and he decided to crash it to keep an eye on him. that’s just a little extreme.” It would be a lot easier to watch these early Gilmore Girls scenes if Dean could work through his anger and believe that nothing is going on.

4 Lorelai Doesn’t Help Rory With Her Emotions

While Lorelai shows Rory that working through her sad emotions and processing her break-up is a good thing, many viewers are confused about why Lorelai seems to think that Rory has to return Dean’s three little words.

Reddit user minskoffsupreme explained, “She liked him so she completely failed to see the warning signs with him. When he broke up with her over the I Love You incident, she didn’t ask Rory how she felt or guide her into examining her feelings. Instead she pushed her to tell him she loved him.” It seems like Rory does love Dean, but Lorelai could be a little gentler here.

3 Why Does Dean Still Love Rory While Married?

Reddit user julsflowers asked this question in a Reddit thread, wondering if this storyline is to show that Rory is a “more desirable girl” than other characters. Reddit user PreparationOk620 added that this is a pattern with Marty and Lucy as well, writing, “He still liked her even though he was in a loving relationship with a great girl… then suddenly we find out, he’s liked Rory this entire time.”

It does seem like Dean and Rory’s third attempt at a successful relationship is supposed to create more drama on the show, and they might not really have a good reason to try things again.

2 Dean Blames Rory For The Second Breakup

Reddit user BartokTheBat is confused that Dean suggests that Rory dumped him for the second time when it’s actually him who ends their relationship at the dance-a-thon. The fan wrote that Dean tells Rory, “I was married and I threw it all away for someone who dumped me once and then bailed on me.”

It’s true that Rory’s life worsens after dating Dean, and when he thinks that they should break up in season 3, he’s had enough of her flirting with Jess right in front of him. It does seem odd that Dean would think about their romantic history so differently.

1 Dean Isn’t Supportive Of Rory Going To College

Reddit user crittab doesn’t understand why Rory continues to date Dean when he isn’t supportive of her college plans. The fan wrote, “When he said he didn’t care about Harvard, that should have been a tipoff to Rory that he didn’t really care about her personal goals, he just wanted her to himself.”

Fans wish that Rory would at least tell Dean that he has hurt her feelings, and if he still doesn’t understand where she’s coming from, it does seem like their relationship would be on thin ice.
