Norman Bates is many things, but a ladies' man he is not. :cool:

Hahaha. I found that strange too. They might be going for the "mysterious new guy" approach even though he is sheltered or perhaps there is more wrong. He even gets another one interested in him last episode.

It would have been more interesting, IMO, if Norman was the creepy one all along and it's his twisted perception of events and things around him that lead to his mother's death and everything that happens.
That's my problem with this show- it's just taking a really mundane, cliche approach to everything; in effect, dumbing it down for modern audiences.

I think they are actually just trying to make you think that the mother is the crazy one, but she isn't. Dylan just hates her because she left his dad and she's always I think, had to be closer to Norman to cover up for him. After 2 episodes, something is telling me Norman has always been the crazy one and that is mother is extra protective because of it, check out the preview for Episode 3 :
