Barney finds it hard to adjust into a serious relationship with Robin, as his bachelor impulses (fleeing after sex as if it was a one-night stand, not listening to Robin's problems and only talking to her when she's in the mood for sex) still take over. However, Barney starts to make uncharacteristically romantic gestures such as making Robin breakfast in bed (pancakes with [[CanadaEh Maple Syrup]]), which makes Robin suspect that Barney is cheating on her.
