I can just picture this guy’s isolated, miserable existence. For some reason a cute chick takes pity on him and treats him kindly, offering a tantalizing glimpse of something better. Then he seethes with jealousy as she dates a bunch of rich frat guys, knowing an Asian dork like him has zero chance.
Based on her facebook page, she may have been playing the field, who knows, hopefully that will become known. She may have been indeed attracted to an older, “complex” man which Cho would have been to her. Plus he could buy alcohol without a fake ID. We don’t know if he, her or the “new” BF were or were not part of the campus radical culture. Love triangle? As an English major (BTW - what was HER major?) exposed to tons of Ward Churchillesque sedition. No doubt at Va Tech there are Islamist and Islamist oriented groups. What an evil brew. Etc, etc, etc.

Yep, and she probably went out a few times, did a bit of dating with him, but quickly decided he was not it. And that’s probably what the argument was about.
