Just don't forget that they are 14. I don't know what you think should happen in a relationship when you are that age. You meet someone, fall in love and spend the rest of your lives together? That's unrealistic, to say the least. It's a time when feelings guide you, you make mistakes, do stupid things, have a lot of regrets.. and that's how you grow up and mature. It's not the other way around - you mature by default and then get the perfect relationship just handed to you. When I was 14 I did a lot of stupid things - fell for the wrong people, ruined a perfect opportunity to be with my first love, got tangled in scandals and rumours. I regreted some of it for a long time, but experience taught me that it happened like that for a reason. It made me the person I am today. And also I really don't think I would have been able to have a good relationship with anyone at that age. But trying and failing? All part of life. I also got wonderful moments back then that I wouldn't miss for the world. If I'd been too cautious I would have.

Back to the show, it shouldn't be expected from Marinette and Adrien to make mature, adult choices when they haven't been through the experiences that would teach them how to do that. Having feelings for someone who doesn't see you the same way, being persistent when you probably should back down, doing stupid things because of crushes, not being able to see someone wonderful in front of you because of your feelings for someone else? Perfectly normal. Add to this the alter ego situation and no wonder they are in such a mess.
