Gale vs. Peeta and other Romance

Gale or Peeta
But Gale and Katniss know each other so much better. Peeta and Katniss hadn't really talked to each other until the Hunger Games, while Gale and Katniss were together hunting almost every day. Just because Peeta is unconditionally in love with Katniss does not mean that Katniss with return his feelings. It's a sad fact, but not everyone who falls in love with someone will be loved back. It's called unrequitted love.



(btw I'm all for Peeta)"
... *cries* I need book 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really like them both so much, and although I like Peeta a little bit more, I think that she and Gale are better suited for each other.


I can't help feel sorry for Peeta! He loves this girl, and she has agreed to "love" him to keep herself alive. I don't know who she will pick, but I will be hopeing mostly for Peeta!
Welcome to the group, Amelia!
I'd love it if she ends up with Peeta! Have you read the first chapter yet? It's available on the website and shows a little bit of interaction between Peeta and Katniss.

Ronna, I was just speaking for why I like Peeta. I think that Katniss and Gale are better suited for each other, and have known each other for longer.

I think that at some point in the book, Katniss is going to have to go on the run. Once she's on the run, if Gale is somehow with her, then it won't matter anymore to the Capitol if she's with Peeta or Gale.

You know, it might be hard for her to end up with Gale. 'cause she is going on the tour of the districts with Peeta, and i assume Gale will be in district 12. Or maybe I am making excuses for Peeta :)
Thnxs for welcoming me!!!


omg me too
GALE!! i really didn't like peeta at all







and, I LOVE PEETA!!

Or even better, as Summer mentioned before, if Peeta's mom leaves/dies/disappears, then Katniss's mom and Peeta's dad can marry.

***Spoiler**
And after what happened in district 12, isn't it plausible that even if Peeta's dad survived his wife didn't???

I'd say it's very plausible. Would anyone think I'm a horrible person for hoping that? :P

But why would she leave him? I don't think it said how District 12 views divorce or remarriage when the other spouse is still alive.

And I'm pretty sure Katniss will either not end up with any of them (as in Gale and Peeta) or she will end up with Gale. Not Peeta. I'm pretty sure. I have a really really good sixth sense. :D
I'm on Peeta's team by the way.
So Van, you think that Katniss will end up with Gale, but you'd prefer it if she ends up with Peeta?
I feel that Katniss is more likely to end up with Gale, even though I really like Peeta better, and would be happier with a Peeta/Katniss ship.
Here's a post that I posted on the Hunger Games Trilogy forum. It's a list of the different ways that I could think of that Katniss's relationship to Peeta and Gale will change in the next book, and it has the final score at the end:
Peeta:
-Katiss may grow closer to Peeta after the Games because they both went through the same thing, and they'll understand what the other is going through. (+P)
-Katniss may grow farther from Peeta because they have different reactions to the Games. (-P)
-Katniss may grow farther from Peeta because he reminds her of the Games. (-P)
-Katniss may grow farther from Peeta because she realized that he was really in love with her, and that she was acting. She may feel guilty for hurting him, or not know how to react to having him really in love with her. (-P)
-Katniss may grow closer to Peeta because she realized that he loves her. She never considered him as a romantic possibility before, and this may cause her to start to consider him. (+P)
Gale:
-Katniss may grow farther from Gale because he didn't go through what she went through in the Games. (-G)
-Katniss may grow closer to Gale because he's a connection to life before the Games. (+G)
-Katniss may grow closer to Gale because being around him may help to blot out her thoughts of the Games, like in the novel Rebecca, if anyone's familiar with that. (+G)
-Katniss may grow closer to Gale because she may distance herself from Peeta when she realizes that he [Peeta:] loves her. (+G)
Both:
-Katniss may realize that both Gale and Peeta love her, and be overwhelmed by this, and distance herself from both Peeta and Gale. (-G, -P)
Gale: 1
Peeta: -2
The odds are in Gale's favor.
