Sadly, you're right. And it is so common in almost all Shonens it's sickening. That's because Japan still has an old view of women and relationships (marry young while you still can, and marry overly caring, sensitive, and motherly type of women, and oh, they have to be beautiful) when most people at that age make poor decisions in love and in choosing partners because the teen years are when emotions and feelings are most misunderstood.
Ahh from reading this I can tell Sora is back <3 (though you have been back in a while, I guess I haven't been on forums that much). I hope you read this thread once in a blue moon. Miss you lots. Have you read any good Josei or Seinen manga?
Let's not be (too) feminist here. In real life I don't think typical Japanese guys have this view on girls. Plus in real life girls can also have painfully shallow views on guys yes? Plus from my experience Japanese guy view is more like marry late (they don't like to get married), marry a women with university degree that can earn a good income but lets you boss her around anyways (so really, it's worse then what you said).
Now actually on topic-ish, Ran. Her friend wasn't in
danger, she just wanted Ran to stop a purse snatcher from running away. Plus in real circumstances Ran can be charged if she Karate's the guy's ass like she usually does. Now if some guy was threatening to hurt Sonoko (which always happens) she'll kick the guy's ass for sure.
Ran was just scared Shinichi doesn't like her (with him always hinting he has something to say to her and all). I don't see what the problem is with that, she's at a festival with her friends and family, can't a girl have a moment to think about silly things? Plus I don't agree that people are only stupid with love when they're teens. People are stupid with love no matter how old they are. You can never be mature enough to be in love even if you're 20, 30, 40, 50. As you grow older, you realise people just don't grow up.

It's called love, people. It makes people think irrationally and do stupid, stupid things.
mangaluva is right
the definition of love is give the life for the other so Shinichi tries to make Ran not to suffer for not telling what happen
so if Ran is in danger is gonna save her even if he dies
Well he doesn't want her to suffer. That won't stop her from dying from being unknowingly surrounded by FBI, CIA, BO, murderers who all carry guns and shiney knife thingys. Sometimes you got to realise you can't do everything for the ones you care about (though this IS a shounen manga, so of course Shinichi can save the day if it comes to that lol). Plus Ran confess she loves him doesn't she, so she'll want to protect as much as he wants to protect her. So if he doesn't want HER keeping secrets from him (which she already is with the Vermouth thing) then he better start telling the truth.
Hey, I have an idea, let's have a THIS SUCKS / NO THIS SUCKS / NO YOU / NO YOU argument for a couple pages, that will really be great. - Ingmar
