Was Alex cold-hearted or was Clooney naive?

Can someone remember a conversation where their personal lives were brought up?

It was a fling. They gelled in their conversations and hit it off. No strings attached.

If she would have lied about her family, she would be a B.

But basically, it was don't ask, don't tell.

And the reality is that it happens more times than not.

Shame on a desperate detached Clooney.

It was a fling that went too far. Once Ryan asked Alex to go with him to the wedding they should have had a conversation on what was happening. It was wrong of her to accept to go; she had to have known what it was leading into and as far as Ryan was concerned this was the natural progression of a relationship but Alex knew better. She should have corrected the naive Ryan on where they stood in their relationship.
