[She hears that hesitation, and decides to elaborate a little.]
By downside, I mean reasons why it might be better to just stay friends with that boy instead of trying to date him.
[She does think quite highly of all three, after all.]
For example, with Allen, I'm not sure he's ready to date anyone yet. I was worried about him living in a tent for the winter, and I told him I knew about a place where people who wanted to use their powers to help people could live rent-free as long as they help out with chores and stuff, and he was worried about being a burden even though I just said all he needed to do was help with chores. I appreciate being self-sufficient, but that's a little overboard, you know?
