Exactly. When it comes to romance, her first instinct is to force it, and that's far from right. You can't force romance to happen, if it's meant to be, it'll happen naturally on its own. That's yet another reason why Mabel is really bad at attracting guys. It's also another reason why Mabel was wrong to be mad at Dipper. She practically forced him to go out with Candy without giving him a say or thinking about how he felt. Plus, she knows what it's like to have failed at romance. Look at all the failed romances she's had. But there was one good thing about that episode. Since Mabel is usually the one who wants to have a romance, I thought it was a good idea to have Dipper give it a try. And to be honest, I think Dipper actually did better at flirting than Mabel.
