Since I promised you favorite lines and such... (Oh, this is probably going to kill LJ's comment character limit!)
The thing with clichés is that they're cliché for a reason. Because sometimes there's nothing else to say.
Because - yes. I mean. Yes. Even things you don't say - cliché situations are cliché because they really do happen like that. And I love how the title is a play on this! You do such good titles. I'm jealous. ♥
"Yes. Um. Could we...wait? Until after dinner? Or another week or two? A month? Forever?
Oh, RODNEY. This is what really broke my heart, because - um, yeah. When you've been there, and you have that moment of your heart plunging through your stomach and all the way down to your toes, you really would give anything to stop it falling. Even if you know it will; it has to, it's all given way... But you want it to stop, before it's too late - even after it already is.
mistaking a crush for something more, mistaking friendship for romance, mistaking loneliness for desire
Especially the last one of these - oh, yes. This is so... human. And I'm right there with Jennifer. It's such an easy mistake to make, such a pleasant mistake to make. I don't blame her for one minute, and I think she's doing an absolutely fabulous job of righting her mistake (and his, too - because like she says, it's not him, or her, it's both of themand John, of course).
It's a shame she's never been good at holding grudges, because she could get a spectacularly satisfying one out of this.
This made me giggle. Oh, yes. Another feeling I know so well. But I'm glad she doesn't hold a grudge against John. That'd be sad.

I'm being totally lazy and asking you to explain this instead of Googling it. Also, this way I can confess that I keep thinking that Jennifer is actually Canadian. XD (What? She sounds Canadian! When even the Swede can tell, it's got to be pretty obvious.)
He's awfully cute when he's vulnerable. That, at least, is too fundamentally true for her to feel guilty about it.
Eeee, yes! Oh, Rodney. ♥
"You weren't interested in me until John told you we hooked up in an alternate timeline,"
And I'm with Jennifer on her reaction to this line. It's kind of hysterical and twisty and weird and oh, Pegasus. Life in a different galaxy is so interesting. Plus, I am so very on board with the idea that John told Rodney, and that's why he started crushing on Jennifer...
Ronon Dex!
I love the way you transcribed it to sound exactly like Rodney was saying it! Aww. Ronon Dex! :D
