Oh, Dean with his longing for a "normal" life and his acceptance of the fact that it will never be his.
Which is ironic, considering how often he mocks Sam for those same longings.

I think people frequently mock the things they want the most before they can admit to themselves that they want them.

Keerap. I'll just stick with YaY!

Because books.
Oh, lord, I'm flailing.
Flail all you want! We'll always make more.
I don't think Dean ever considered that he *might* want a normal life until now, with death (or hell, whatever) waiting in just a few months. I also think he needs to associate it with something he already understands.
In this case, Ben is a cool kid, the kind of kid he probably was. Lisa is a good mom, and still super hot. With that frame of reference, I think he could actually finally see how a life like that would be kind of nice.

He's looking down that road not taken. Till now, there could always have been a fork that led that way. But with the time he has left, that's never going to happen now. I don't think he wants it. He's just having to give up the idea it's there, if he ever did decide he wanted it.

I like your theory, Bev. I think it makes more sense than mine.
Still. Oh, DEAN.

This would explain why I hated his character on Days. (I mean, that and the ludicrous writing.)
In re Dean's expectations, it really bugs me that nobody has ever looked him up and down and said, "Babe, you are a textbook serial killer."
Because, he kind of is. No fixed address, dazzlingly charming and outgoing, no compunctions about getting physical when he thinks the situation calls for it -- that's 100% Ted Bundy, from the outside. (Obviously, we know better.)
I think he would be heartbroken to hear it, but... I like to think that at least one in 100 women would have a cautious head on her shoulders, you know? Or, like, a posse.

I think it's something he's always wanted at the back of his mind--look how he was with the only serious relationship we've seen him have (Cassie). But, like most other things he's wanted *for himself*, it didn't meet the triage bar for the release. But other than that aspect, I'm with Bev.
(Err. Hi. I just got home from work. I'm not speaking human yet.)
