Perhaps it is a generational thing, but I couldn't believe how pushy Sissy was while getting Tyler to date her (Yes, I'm over 70 years of age). Are men so uninterested that women have to push for dates? If someone leaned on me to get a date (as portrayed), I would step back and run away. Dating 21st-century style is awful if this is a realistic portrayal of dating.

Frankly, I couldn't get past the hard chasing Sissy did with Tyler, and it tainted the whole story for me. Marriage is a meeting of two people with lots of variables. I thought Sissy was young (about 20 years of age) and had a lot of immaturity. Matching her with a physician in residency is a stretch. Heavens, her major is interior design. There's nothing wrong with that major, but it is widely divergent from a scientific background. I don't see this as a "happily ever after." Overall score = G+.
