I find it odd how few questions Chris has for Catie. After all this is his wife and mother to be.
Chris probably didn't care much about Catie as a person. I think that Chris was just happy that someone had come along to be his caretaker/fuckmommy, although Chris, with his ego, probably thought of Catie as more of a personal servant/ piece of property of his than as an actual other human being with thoughts, interests, and emotions.
Chris has a very concrete, fixed idea of what the role of a sweetheart is, and what they and the relationship are going to be like. Chris views a sweetheart coming along as simply a person to fill a role, much like a peg fitting right into a hole and filling it.
Chris's line of thought is simply, "
I'm lonely. Where's my sweetheart to fufill my dream of having my daughter christal? Hey, Catie's here! Now we'll live happily ever after! Yay!".
Chris doesn't have an adult view of relationships, or of life in general. Chris isn't thinking of the details because he's not aware of them, he's not thinking like an adult does about relationships. Chris doesn't understand or appreciate just how big a deal marriage is, or how complex relationships can be.
Chris has a very simple, idyllic, and pure idea of what love is, he expects a sweetheart to come along some day out of the blue and sweep him off his feet. He's just waiting for it to happen. His mindset about love is that of a small girl who's read too many fairy tales, it doesn't have much depth and isn't realistic.
