@Fedora Kid: Since I'm unable to post a comment as large as yours for some reason, I'm going to split my reply to you up into three parts.

You make it sound like it'll be nothing but smooth sailing ahead if Duncan and Gwen hook up. But you seem to be forgetting a few things here.

First of all, Gwen broke up with Trent in a rather contentious manner, something which many people (both on the show and off the show -- including yourself, if I'm not mistaken) took issue with. Given that Trent was just trying to make her happy, it felt very impulsive for her to simply break up with him instead of trying to work things out with him. And that's the flaw I see with Gwen's attitude towards relationships -- she's revealed to us that she isn't mature enough to know how to handle them. For one thing, she has her heart set on a guy who's already in a relationship with someone who she knows he's very much into. And I fear that sooner or later, she'll find something wrong with Duncan that will make her want to move on from him quickly, just like she did with her original "dream guy", Trent. As much as I like her otherwise, I have to say that she definitely needs to strive for more integrity and more maturity when it comes to romance.
