so back when Richard was young, teenagers didn't date just one person unless they were going steady which a lot of times led to marriage. but dating also did not mean "sleeping with"

I dont think this is exclusive to rich people. And honestly in teen years that when dating more then one person make the most sense. Obviously not being intimate with more then one person but have fun, learn what you like about different people and not just one person. Its probably why people who get married young don't work out, because they marry someone without having learned that there are other things they like or want from a partner and married the first person they dated.

He not saying she should be be open for business. He just meant that Rory should be seeing a boy that has the same status. She comes from money and has a good name. Dean was a podunk kid to Richard that is why he wasn’t good enough for his grand daughter. The Gilmore are snobby elites, c’mon baby girl.

I am the biggest Gilmore girlfriend in the world! My dog is named Lorelai! I agree with you! But for the show, I think he was maybe reflecting on the fact that his daughter got pregnant at 16!

It’s not that hard to understand. He doesn’t believe a 16 yo should be in a serious relationship. As for Dean, he didn’t believe he was suitable for Rory.
