I'm writing a script featuring a love triangle, but I just can't seem to get it to work. Maybe it's because I've never been in a love triangle. I don't know. Here's the situation:
There's a scene where the main character, Wes, is preparing to propose to his girlfriend, Vanessa. They've had a good relationship, a few rough spots here and there, but what relationship doesn't? Plus, Wes has a fear of ending up alone, so he's trying too hard to win Vanessa over. When Wes finally gathers the courage to do it, Vanessa tells him that her ex-boyfriend, Dean, just came home from Iraq and proposed to her. She hasn't said yes, for she's unsure of her feelings for Dean. Vanessa was very upset that Dean left her in the first place, but now that he came back for her, she's confused.
How do I get out of this scene? Does Vanessa dump Wes to reconnect with Dean? Does Wes propose to Vanessa anyway? If so, does Vanessa say yes?
I'm thinking that maybe Wes doesn't propose to her at all after he hears about Dean. Maybe his intentions will be brought up later on, but for now, he doesn't want to get hurt.
Any personal experiences would indeed be very helpful.
