Because he has shades of Nice Guy who feels entitles to Katniss's affection since he loves her and he was friends with her first.

His entitlement and the way he seems to think him loving her is benevolent or something pisses me off. And I actually enjoy the rest of his character. Just not the part that feels like Katniss should love him back because he was there first and he's done all this for her and her family etc.

Both Gale and Peeta have shades of Nice Guy.

Peeta does at the end of THG, but then in the beginning of Catching Fire, he admits that he was wrong to have expectations from her and says he just wants to work on being friends with her. So yeah, I think he does have some Nice Guy entitlement at the very end of THG, but he gets over it pretty fast and admits that he's wrong.

He never felt entitled to her affection. He was honest, said he loved her, and waited for her to give a response. She never did, just kept stringing him along. She basically said "I can't because the Capitol would kill me"--what does that tell him? She WANTS to, it's just not in her power. So Gale figures, once they're out of the Capitol's reach, they can be together. But then in Mockingjay, in D13, she strung him along again. Didn't tell him not to kiss her, she even kissed him back.

I don't see that as entitlement. He just wanted to know where he stood with her and she never gave him an answer.

I mean, dude, he spent the ENTIRETY of the second book being furious with her and not talking to her because she had the ~audacity~ to use being physically and romantically affectionate with Peeta as a survival strategy. And then continued to occasionally pull tantrums because she would kiss Peeta but not him, or continue to act like she was in love with Peeta in public. If that's not emotional blackmail, I don't know what is.

This. I like Gale good and fine(hell, I like everyone, ftmp), but one of his flaws is that he does use emotional manipulation. I'm very familiar with it IRL, so I thought it was obvious in the books. Of course, Peeta did that a little too, in various places, but I think it was never as pronounced or as frequent as Gale.

This. I love Gale. I love all the characters. But I definitely felt like Gale was a little more emotionally manipulative of her then not. Even though I could understand him getting confused, especially when she kissed him in CF. But I don't know. I thought she worked better with Peeta but I still love Gale.

Oh gosh thank you, I thought I was the only one who got Nice Guy vibes off him.
