That he is charming and handsome, but he prefers the hunt to actual, long term connection. She views him as a similar man to her old friend, Casanova. She enjoys his company but would never trust him enough to love him.
Are you kidding me? She's got his heart on a stick over a fire pit. Yes. Ow. That's a whole shit storm of conflicting emotions and pain that thread deeply into his personal past.

Oh, there are so many of her outfits that she misses. Like a lot. Possibly her wide variety of clothing more than any particular outfit. But she definitely misses this dress, this outfit, this outfit, and her curling iron.
As for what she thinks of Kate: "Sweet. Sometimes I wonder if she's been sheltered her entire life, given the way she reacts to certain things that are, generally speaking, fairly normal, but she means well, and it's been nice having another girl around."
Oh no, it's out there, but he's not going to openly acknowledge it if he can help it. He doesn't want to be pressed in that area, he doesn't even want to think about that area, like, at all.
Surprisingly enough, they've moved to the point that he doesn't actually hold anything against her. He imagines that he could, but she'd really have to be insensitive towards him on something major to drive him to the point of vindictive bitterness like that.
For now, he's settled for the good outweighing the bad with her, and while she sometimes says stupid stuff, so does he. And they've been fine up to this point, which tells him he's better off letting it go.
