I don't see how this could possibly work.



Okay, she's pretending to be dating him so that he'll fall in love with her, pull away from his parents towards her, and then want to move out on his own. Isn't that sort of cruel? Who would put their child through such a sick trick? Aside from that, how does it even work? He falls in love with a girl, moves out, she dumps him...then what? He's either going to move back home once his reason for leaving is gone, or he's going to kill himself...and opps, he lives on his own, nobody will be there to stop him.

Yeah, that's what I thought too

Doesn't matter, though, it's just another ridiculous romcom-premise...
