I am so glad somebody else thinks Danny is just creepy at this point! Because, as you said, Jordan very clearly said, 'NO!' It's the sort of arrogant sexism that creeps into Sorkin's shows sometimes, the idea that women are irrational creatures who just need to be coddled and pursued relentlessly until they see reason. The Dating Plan, in Sports Night, comes to mind, as Dana looks crazy at the end of that storyline and Casey comes off as the sympathetic character.

I loved the poly bit, too!
