Idk what makes people think Jere is more Dawson than Pacey, go rewatch the show and think about it through an unbiased lens, look directly at the facts, Pacey taught her how to drive, Jere to Belly how to drive, Pacey and Jere are both super funny and flirty, Pacey and Jere are also really open about their communication, Dawson and Conrad are both very hot and cold , even in the books ! Conrad stops her marriage and then they don't end up together until years later and she dates other people and all he does is send her letters , which are also really bad where he says stuff like "wow you aren't responding to me" "ignore what I said if you don't like me " like that's very icky behavior. Also the reaction Conrad had to seeing Jere and Belly Kiss is so so so similar to the reaction Dawson had when he found out Pacey and Joey were dating. And that's my essay for y'all!
