Ehh... you guys are having fun without me. /sulk It's kinda weird how I was speed reading and it was actually more disturbing when I went back to read closer xD.

Shin's mom and dad barely see each other.
Actually no...Yukiko stopped working when she's 19-20. I'm sure Yukiko and Yusaku stay together most of the time. In the manga we see Yusaku ducking work to go travelling the world with Yukiko (again). And I'm sure they're together normally because when they got into a fight it's because Yukiko noticed the lipstick mark after Yusaku came back home drunk.

That's alright with them. But apparently, that doesn't seem alright with Ran. She'll be constantly worried about him being a detective. The only way she can survive in that relationship is if she tries to help him.
Like I said before someone out there to stab random civilians in a middle of a festival and someone trying to steal money has different objectives. A purse snatcher if caught wouldn't be in as much trouble then if he was a purse snatcher who has injured/ killed a few people while doing so. Sure accidents happen, but at that moment no one was hurt. Sure it'll be great to catch the theif but that's why Ran went back, she wanted to find the guy and capture him.
Well for someone constantly worried about him being a detective she's certainly hands off the whole thing. During desperate revival she let him go check out the case and during the car case for Shiragami-sama she hanged back because she didn't want to distract him. She doesn't need to help him in cases to "survive" anything (in fact I think if she helped him in cases she'll be less likely to survive). She'll let him run off to do his thing while she watches, yells at him when he starts bragging, gives him a bandaid and wakes him up next morning for school (or something). Sure she'll be worried, but that's normal, my dad's does dangerous work and the family worries about him too. But that isn't something that stops a relationship. You just realise it's work and in Shinichi's case it's something he loves to do. Plus with their common trait of being nosy and helping people she'll actually understand if he chooses to do something stupidly dangerous for the sake of someone else. It's something she'll do too, the bravery to do the right thing is what she loves about him and emulates.
I don't really understand...it's like saying girl/boyfriends must follow each other to work in order to date. It just doesn't make sense to me. The only people you work with at work is your coworkers, in Shinichi's case it would be the police and rival detectives (and cough hopefully phantom thieves). What would a friend/love interest have anything to do with it? If this was a martial arts manga does that mean Shinichi have to learn martial arts in order to date Ran? What.
Ran doesn't seem that gentle when he's actually around. As in, when he's not out there somewhere doing God knows what and coming back to drop down criptic messages and taking her out to fancy restaurants. In fact the way she threatens to hit him is kinda scary. I don't really think she'll let him be rude to her, much less control her. Shinichi wouldn't be like that anyways.

Also, I didn't say Shinichi is cool and aloof in cases.

I said when it comes to Ran and his feelings. His emotions and his ideals toward love in general are very cool and aloof on the outside.
He might be shy about his feelings (like how he rambled about Holmes instead of saying what he wanted to say in Desperate revival), I wouldn't say it's cool and aloof though. It's like when Ran gave him the valentine chocolate. He called it a peached shape chocolate and then said "I never ate such delicious chocolate" (or something to that extent). That's not cool and aloof at all. If that was cool and aloof then Ran's response of "why should I tell you?? And using detective kid is lame." is equally cool and aloof.
(actually now that I look at it Ran is kinda mean...xD)
I would mention how Shinichi's dream is about Ran and how he imagines them randomly confessing to each other and then snogging wihtout actually having a plan to how that would happen but yes, another time.
And I think we should be able to talk about whatever the conversation goes to. And I think if Shinichi removes himself from Ran's life she'll pull a Hondou Eisuke and start stalking him and threatening him with scissors.
PS: You know there is a (few) mangas where Ayumi is a shermale... okay I stop now.
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
