Line 254:
b) Unwilling to open up emotionally, and possesses a fear of physical intimacy
In "[[The New Kid]]", Quinn's claim that "I know this cute guy who's got a huge crush on you" is instantly assumed to be a trick (which admittedly it was); the very concept of a cute guy Quinn knows being interested in her is not something she considers possible.
Her crush on Trent was never acted upon, even though Trent was aware of it and would sometimes gently play up to it; this was most notable in "[[Pierce Me]]", where he told her how "hot" a piercing would make her and in a clearly flirtatious way. She'd try to cover up her crush but sudden loss of speech ("[[This Year's Model]]") or outright blushing ("[[Pierce Me]]") made it obvious. "Pierce Me" showed a dream about Trent, which turned into a nightmare when she dreamt Trent would have no interest in her at all and find the very idea laughable. MTV's [http://www.mtv.com/onair/daria/chapter2/tangle.jhtml "It Takes Two to Tangle"] described the situation as: "Quite a bit of sublimation and projection going on here, and not much action. Here is a rare example of passive-passive behavior."
