Indeed I do. And to make matters worse, not only were they pressuring him, but he never really had experience with all those elements of dating, so he had to learn right then from experience. And just want to point out, the girls are hypocrites because, like you mentioned before, they were basically calling him selfish for using them to hone his flirting skills, but they were the selfish ones because they wanted an answer on who he liked best right then and there, without giving him a chance to explain himself.

As for the Mabel thing: I agree that she was also being jerky, but I don't think it's necessarily fair to pinpoint the fact that's she's his sister for this case. Sister or not, Mabel was simply playing matchmaker for two people she cares about. And when one of those people got hurt by the other, Mabel came to her defense and assumed the role of protective friend, just like Grenda. It's hardwired in her to be like that. It doesn't matter Dipper is her brother; she would have lashed out against any guy that upset her friend (even though it's still kinda that friend's fault in the first place).
