I have always believed Alfie is gay and been very surprised at his dating Zoe. The longer they date without anything happening to progress this - baby or ring - I become more convinced of it. He seems very scared of commitment with her. And it's not that marriage or babies really matter necessarily BUT it's just that he's such a youtube whQre that lets be real he would jump at the chance to clickbait every part of a wedding/baby announcement for the
that it sticks out that he hasn't - even more so when it's something that she obviously wants and (I presume) they are aware of.
On the other hand, I think his stringing her along - and those big public displays (first time I've seen that video, shocking) is manipulative. I had an online friendship (I know its slightly different but bear with me) a few years ago, there were feelings there between us but we didn't really progress it. I asked to FaceTime and stuff and the response wouldn't ever be an outright no but a maybe - stringing me on, keeping me pleased, so to speak, only to then bottle it. I really do think its a similar thing even if they aren't directly comparable. That enjoyment of being in control, having someone hanging off your words. And, if im being honest, I think Alfie knows that if he splits from Zoe he won't have it 'good' again. He's not massively attractive or a hot piece of ass - Zoe is the best he'd get. Whereas I think Zoe despite her faults is attractive and could successfully move on from him - which is why he won't. He'll throw her crumbs and keep promising so she hangs on, waiting and waiting and waiting forevermore. I gave myself a shake and don't bother with the guy I was talking to any more and I genuinely believe Zoe would benefit from doing the same IF she still wants a ring and a bump. I doubt she'll get that with Fragg.
