I find it so annoying when people are claiming that EJ is going to ruined his own relationship with Gina just like how he ruined his own relationship with Nini in Season 1. Yes, EJ did ruined his own relationship with Nini but, he has grown since then he still makes some mistakes but at least he is trying to be a better person. I am convinced the way EJ feels about Gina is something he has never felt before about any girl he has dated in the past & really wants to get things right with her. 1/2
I feel like EJ has never been in a serious relationship before he has just dated a bunch of girls that didn't last for very long. Maybe EJ wants Gina to be his first serious girlfriend and wants to get things right with her because he is so in love with her. I really feel like EJ is trying his best to be the best boyfriend he can be to Gina. There are two girls EJ is close to that he really trusts that he can go to for relationship advice which is Ashlyn and Val that can help him out. 2/2
Yes, that's very annoying! EJ's entire character arc was learning and growing from his mistakes in season 1 and learning how to be a better person. Since then, he has done nothing but show us his consistent efforts to be a better person, and we've seen him mature so much since episode 1. So yes, he did ruin his relationship in season 1, but it would be out of character for EJ now with the growth he's had not to have some awareness of his actions if he did start to self-sabotage the relationship. I completely agree with you anon! I think this relationship is so special to both Gina and EJ, and EJ is putting in work, fans are just ignoring it for whatever reason. What about him picking those flowers, listening to her feelings, having morning chats/coffee with her, seeking advice from people he admires, all on top of the massive responsibilities he now has on his shoulders?
If they break up because EJ is stressed over all his responsibility, that's, first of all, a really crappy plotline but second nothing like his breakup in season 1.
I love EJ and the growth he's had, so I'm hoping this season will show those who still don't like him how much he has changed for the better. Maybe he will get jealous, like season 1 EJ and like we're sort of starting to see, but I'm hoping the show will have him deal with these feelings in a healthy manner.
Anyways, I'm still hoping everything is mirroring HSM2 so if there's a Portwell breakup it will end with them back together.

Steve hates February 14th.
It's a constant reminder that he is alone, that no one ever wants to stick around with him long enough to celebrate Valentine's Day. Most of them leave after one night together.
It's also his birthday. The former heartthrob of Hawkins High was born on Valentine's Day, but he can't even get himself a date. Or a birthday party. Every year that they were around, his parents would go out for their annual Valentine's Day dinner and leave Steve to celebrate his birthday on his own. He stopped associating the day with his birthday by the time he was 13.
Now, he spent the day giving out roses and chocolates to all his friends so that they feel special, so that they don't feel as left out and forgotten as he did for his whole life.
Dustin and Mike fake gag when he gives them both a box of their favourite chocolate and Will blushes and stumbles through a thank you while holding his chocolates to his chest. He got Max and Lucas a big box of chocolates to share on their date.
Robin smacks a dramatic wet kiss to his cheek when he gifts her a bunch of sunflowers (her favourite flower), she also slips something into his pocket when no one's looking and whispers, "Happy birthday." He pulls her into a tight hug and thanks her quietly.
Steve spent a lot of time debating what to get Eddie. Their friendship felt like something more, but neither of them has put a label on what the hell they are to each other, so he decides to keep it simple. He rocks up to Eddie's new trailer with a box of chocolates under his arm and a small bunch of roses clutched tightly in his hands. He's so fucking nervous he forgets to knock.
After gently knocking, the door is pulled open and Steve nearly stumbles down the steps because Eddie is wearing a fucking suit. An all black three piece suit with his hair tied up. He looks hot. So hot all Steve can do is stare.
Eddie groans and runs a hand down his face, careful not to smudge his eye-liner. "Damn it, Harrington. You're not supposed to be here." He sounded... disappointed.
Steve takes in Eddie's outfit again and the pieces slowly start to come together in his mind. How could he be so stupid? "Shit, sorry, Eds. Are you on a date with someone? Nevermind. I don't want to know. I'll just, uh, go. Sorry to interrupt." He turns away as quick as possible and hurries down the few steps.
He should have known. Eddie doesn't want to spend Valentine's Day with him. They're just friends. God, he's so stupid.
A hand gently grabs his arm and stops his hurried retreat. "Steve, wait." Eddie stands in front of him, his heeled dress shoes making him slightly taller than Steve. "I don't have a date with anyone."
Steve finds that hard to believe. He's in a suit for fuck sake. He's even brushed his hair and styled it so nicely. He's lying to make Steve feel better. "Whatever, Eds. I really don't care– "
Eddie surprises him in that moment. He reaches out and holds Steve's face so, so gently in his hands. Steve doesn't know what to do, he's frozen in shock and unable to look away from Eddie, who's standing so close now. He brushes a thumb gently across Steve's flushed cheek. "Steve, I don't have a date because I was on my way to your place. To ask you."
"Ask me? On a date?" Steve is struggling to wrap his head around the situation. Having Eddie so close is causing all coherent thoughts in his head to disintegrate. All he can focus on is the smell of Eddie's cologne and the cool sting of his rings on his skin and the slight shine on his lips because, fuck, he's wearing lip gloss.
Eddie laughs and steps even closer, their noses almost brushing as he invades Steve's space. "I've been wanting to ask you out for weeks, Stevie. I thought today would be the best day. I even bought you a birthday present."
Steve wants to cry. He wants to cry and laugh and kiss Eddie Munson until he can't breathe. "How do you know it's my birthday?" Dustin doesn't even know it's his birthday. Hell, he's pretty sure his own parents don't know it's his birthday.
Eddie sighs and rests his forehead against Steve's, the intimate action steals Steve's breath away. He's too nervous to move, to even breathe. They've never been this close before. Eddie closes his eyes and just breathes for a moment before answering Steve's question. "Dude, I've been madly in love with you for an entire year. It'd be pretty shitty if I didn't know when your birthday was." He says it so casually, so easily, like he's talking about the weather.
Steve can't even be angry that he called him 'Dude' in the middle of his confession because Eddie is pulling away, his eyes full of worry as he takes in Steve's shocked expression. "Fuck, that was too much. I'm sorry –"
Steve drops the roses and the chocolates, grabs the collar of Eddie's suit, and shuts his rambling up with a kiss.
