"A Highschool Crush"
Surprisingly in chapter 4 the readers found out that Gatsby and Daisy had a past. Gastby doesn't seem to be over Daisy. Even though Daisy has clearly moved on. She married another man but Gatsby can't let her go. Gatsby is acting like he has a highschool crush on Daisy. He won't ask Daisy himself to come over to his house. He needs Nick to ask Daisy. Gatsby is immature or afraid of rejection? Gatsby is trying to get Daisy to come see how he lives and maybe she would come back to him. Gatsby may have all the money he needs, a mansion, and may throw the parties everyone wants to go to. But he is missing one thing. Daisy, is the one thing/person he is missing in his perfect 20's life.

Gatsby does beat around the bush unnecessarily in order to see Daisy again, but is that because he has a high school crush or is it due to a much deeper possibly painful love?
