I've just seen a comment on one of Ashe's videos that really pissed me off:
"I found that his (Cullen's) crush on my female mage to be a little creepy tbh. It actually gave me insights on how girls must feel at bars when creepy guys hit on them."
How is that anything like being hit on by a creepy guy? It's the female Warden that comes onto him, IF you even pick that option! Here's my reply:
"Speaking from experience of having creepy guys hit on me, I can assure you that it's nothing like that.
For starters it's the female Warden that can hit on him (if you pick that option)... and he literally runs away because, as he says, it would be inappropriate because she's a mage and it's his job is to essentially guard her. It would be like a jailer shagging a prisoner. IF he had been "creepy" then he would've taken her up on that offer, OR would have tried to seduce her first. He doesn't do either of these things.
And in all fairness, he was young. I'm sure we've all been there when you've had a crush on someone and the feeling wasn't mutual or you've acted really awkwardly around them because you're nervous to talk to her/him, even worse when the object of your desire finds out that you like them and people start gossiping about it etc.
Out of curiosity, have you played the Mage Origin as a female mage and talked to Cullen using all the options and dialogue available? I would suggest doing so if you haven't, so that you can see for yourself."
Sometimes I swear they're playing a completely different version of the game that we've played, LOL!
