There was only one part of the episode I liked. And that's the fact that Dipper is now a lot better at talking to girls. But I also felt really bad for Dipper. Because when Mabel and Grenda tried to set him and Candy up on a date, they practically forced him to go out with her. And when all the girls got mad at Dipper, he didn't deserve that. When the girls called Dipper a jerk, the whole thing was a misunderstanding. So in my opinion, the girls were the ones being jerks. Especially when they pressured him by making him choose which of them he liked best. So I'm glad that Dipper will never see those girls again. Because they acted just plain mean. But they weren't the only ones. It was also Mabel, Grenda, and Candy. Because after Dipper and Candy's date went bad, they were all mad at Dipper when he was the real victim here. He was pressured by the girls he flirted with, and practically forced to go out with Candy on a date. So I think Dipper should've been mad at them. Because when Mabel set him and Candy up on a date, she was meddling. Just like she was in "The Love God". And even if you mean well, it's wrong to meddle in other people's lives. Love that's meant to be happens on its own. And Mabel should've considered that even though Candy had a crush on Dipper, he probably didn't feel the same way.

Besides, when Mabel set them up on a date, it seemed to me like she was also being a little selfish. She only tried to get them together because she wanted them to be dating. That's really selfish, don't you think?

Yeah. The whole "Mabel is selfish" thing is a sensitive topic in Gravity Falls fandom, depending on where you go.
