It's easy to understand if you do not assume that one or both of Nathan and Jennette was interested in the other. Maybe they needed time to warm up to each other.

Even if there was interest, I would assume that Madisen is a lot like Jennette. So even if there were hurt feelings, they would find comfort and friendship in being kindred souls.

Oh, and one other thing about the Evangelical dating thing. Let us suppose that Nathan's parents are as orthodox as we think he is for Evangelical Christianity. Can you imagine their reaction if Jennette came over holding Nathan's hand or something but had not run the gauntlet? I've seen this once - it is not pretty. She would be turning him away from God and towards the Devil, corrupting his morals with her lecherous ways, and so on. Even if she eventually converted honestly, the parents might assume - like the ones I am thinking of - that she did this because she was desperate for his money, fame, etc. Never mind her money, fame, etc.

As a practical matter, I always thought Jathan and Niranda were 100% non-starters because of this - no matter how much they might have worked or wanted to.
