Side note to Omega -

I am just wondering why you choose 5 years? XD

I can’t judge what is right on the proper grieving time is for when you lose a person you love, as I haven’t. But shouldn't that be up to the character/writers to decide how long a character waits?

I've seen some women in real life who don’t wait more than a few months after the death of their love because they crave the companion ship they once had. A good example would be Lea Michele. She lost the love of her life, but has found a way to move on again. Lea began to date again not even a year after Cory’s passing.

I just said 5-10 years because if Clarke waited that long it would further prove how much she loved Finn. I know that people in real life don't usually wait that long, and even on most TV shows people don't usually wait that long. I've seen comments before on this wiki and other websites such as YouTube saying that the characters have no chemistry and that Flarke is over after what Finn did and stuff like that, but Clarke waiting that long would show them the truth. That she did, in fact, love Finn a lot (despite him "cheating" on her with Raven and massacring a group of "innocent" Grounders).
