I certainly do think that Al did have a few ( or quite a few Laughing

) other girls in his past, but I don't think that he was really truly in love with them. I don't really think he could afford ( for lack of a better word ) to fall in love because he was always on the run from the guards. I do think he had some flings but nothing really big. I think the reason why he had a little trouble with Jasmine was because he actually was falling for her and she wasn't just some casual fling--that combined with the fact that she was the Princess and not just some random girl XD.

I do suppose you're right. After all, when they were in the hovel he did seem not as nervous or anything. Although he wasn't exactly flirting. I wonder like where you would, like, draw the line? Like, when he actually did fall for Jasmine. I would suppose it was before he knew she was the princess? In the dungeon when Abu 'rescued' him, it sounded like he was already kind of falling in love if not already in love.

Well he liked her enough that he used one whole wish (he only had three!) on becoming a prince with the direct intent to marry her!

I think he was at least in the process of falling in love with Jasmine by the time he started describing her to Genie. But I do think he did care for her before. They had ridiculous chemistry during the hovel scene..but not only that, but they sort of found a common ground ( they both were trapped ) and shared that connection. Back when they were running from the guards after the incident in the hovel, he told Jasmine to run and then let the guards catch him. I don't know exactly where to draw the line but I think it's safe to say that after "A Whole New World" and the kiss on the balcony, he does love her.

That reminds me of the original story where Aladdin had the genie bring the vizier's son and the princess back to his house in their bed, had the guy sent to the privy for the night, and slept in the bed with the princess to make sure they didn't consumate the marriage before Aladdin had a chance to marry her. He succeeded, but it didn't exactly make the princess like him because she was too horrified at the entire situation Laughing

He probably could have done that..there are so many loopholes in the invisible book of Genie rules XD. I mean Genies can't raise people from the dead, but couldn't you ask to be the most powerful necromancer in the world? But I don't think he's the type to do that sort of thing. I can't really see that going well. Laughing

I'm trying to picture Jasmine's reaction if they kept that part from the original story Laughing
