Chris legitimately believed these young ladies were his best friends back in HS. It's not really his fault his autism prevented him from telling the difference between a casual friend and a close friend.Lots has been said already about the gal pals but I am not sure I buy the idea that they actively set Chris back in socialization. I mean, Chris should have learned the difference between a casual acquaintance and a close friend- that is far more important than the gal pals spending time with him.
Put it this way- most people would realize that because the calls with all of the gal pals save Kellie Andes stopped coming the moment Chris graduated that it meant they no longer had much desire to stick together with him. Obviously Chris couldn't tell this because he has Autism but as socialization goes, Borb should've both taught him how to make new relationships and when to tell that old ones weren't too serious. Like most not autistic people wouldn't care too much if friendships drifted apart after school but Chris clearly took it too seriously because he never understood there's different kinds of friendship and like tiers of acquaintanceship.
However, it's a very good thing that he was "naive on the subject of dating" because if he had gotten handsy with the gal pals well...
I don't know about you but Tiffany always looked like a dude in drag who could punch your lights out. I'm not going to lie, most of these girls look pretty sturdy and I don't think it's a coincidence that they may have been asked by Bob or the principal to look after Chris.
Now... I don't know if they actually did or if we ever confirmed it, might have to look at the Cwiki again, but they look like they were more than capable of punching someone out for picking on Chris (who is ironically the much more soft and delicate looking one).
