Three Reasons Why Joey’s Great
The reason I love JoeyxRachel (they really need a ship name btw) more than R*ssxRachel is because of three reasons:
He takes no for an answer. When she doesn’t like the idea of having sex with him because it makes her feel awkward, Joey’s disappointed, but stops his actions and asks if she’s feeling okay, and even holds her in his arms. He never asks her again, but does gently tease her about it because it’s Joey we’re talking about.
He puts for her needs and wants first. When she’s wanting to go out with someone, but not as an actual date, Joey takes her out to this nice restaurant and it makes her feel better. He also immediately gets up and takes her to the ER when she gets scared about the Braxton Hicks contractions just to make sure everything’s okay, and was worried sick as he waited out in the hall.
He understands rejection. When she politely turns him down later on (I think it was for R*ss), Joey is understandably upset but doesn’t try to ruin her relationship like Ross does. They remain close friends and even continue living together as roommates for a while.
Say what you will, but even if you don’t like Joey x Rachel you have to admit that Joey was a great friend to her.
