Hmmmm. Idealizing, yes, sometimes. (Frankly, much of the group leans toward doing this.) Fawning . . . I'm not so sure. Flirting and generally giving off some "perhaps sexually interested" vibes, I'd say yes. And not just to Jack.
It seems to me there is a difference in Kate's behavior when she's with Jack and when she's with Sawyer.
Yes, she flirts with both men. But with Jack, she does seem to fawn over him at times. In fact, I can recall being a little annoyed with how she seems to put him on a pedestal. There was a remark she had made to Jack in the episode following this one ("Lockdown"), which made her seem like a 15 year-old. Very disconcerting. Even Evangeline Lilly has expressed annoyance at Kate's fawning over Jack.
With Sawyer, Kate seems to act a little more mature . . . and at times, be quite brutally frank, when she thinks he is screwing up. Just as he tends to be frank with her.
Like I said, there seemed to be a difference.
And I suspect many folks would agree that even the most self-confident, self-assured person in the world will still act like a total goober while in the throes of a crush.
But isn't Kate too old to be acting like a 15 year-old with a crush, instead of simply projecting good 'old fashioned adult-style sexual interest at Jack? This only leads me to believe that Kate and Jack do not have a relationship based on one between equals.
I agree that Kate idealizes Jack to an extent. I suppose it has to do with her daddy issues.
