Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-73.92.34.199-20190415231500/@comment-37879183-20190416005331

Actually, if you reread Flashback, you'll see that Fitz in no way forces or even pressures Sophie into registering for the match. In fact, the only times he brings it up in Flashback are

1. When they are discussing Dex's crush cuffs, he asks her if she's not wearing them because they're a matchmaking thing. (And he tells her that the matchmaking isn't a big deal and that she shouldn't worry about it and that she doesn't have to pick up her lists, even if she registers)

2. When Sophie asks why the Vackers will be using their reception hall in a few years (He drops his eyes and blushes and doesn't try to continue the conversation, although Sophie continues it)

Anyways, Fitz didn't repeatedly bring it up, they simply had conversations that led to that subject twice. And Fitz actually encouraged her to take her time to decide.

Also, Sophie has not thrown away anything by signing up for the match. As Fitz has said, she can simply get the lists and mostly ignore them, or she could just fill out the packet and never turn it in. Also, they could be RELATIVES. By signing up for the match, she could have made sure she didn't marry a relative.
