Yeah, sad puppy works. The fact that Chuck didn't really pursue Jill tells me that he basically ends up being a sad puppy type. Big heaving sighs, but eventually he figures it was just him. Which is something a lot of geeks live with (Hiro nods furiously).

That's very true. Until they can be equal, there won't be a relationship. Chuck being Sarah's "charge" is just not going to make any part of it real.

Yeah, I agree. They have plenty of realistic roadblocks they can use, rather than having to throw in stupid ones that too many other shows have used.
