yeah. i feel sorry for gus but when i think about how for the first part of the season they had only known each other for a month, i can see why mickey is ambivalent about him. it explains all the shyt she did (not that it was right).
one month or a few weeks into a flirty "relationship" and they both slept with different people. i don't think every woman would hate the type of guy gus is. the nice guy thing isn't bad, but trying to fix someone you just met two weeks ago is condescending and pushy. but at least gus is nice about it, i guess. But Gus is trying to go after a girl who is the complete opposite of what would make him happy. A former church going, nice guy from the midwest doesn't have any business with a strung out woman who sleeps around and hates herself. He's asking for misery, but he's blind to this because Mickey is "pretty". His vanity is defeating his common sense. Someone like Bertie would be great for him.
