It's pretty hard not to love this unknown Mr. Bingley because he's so well admired. But what do we really know about him? He will have servants on site by the end of next week, and he purchased Netherfield presumably on his first visit. He's probably not at all impulsive, then?! It's a joke when Mr. Bennet suggests, "Is that his design in settling here?" but again, who knows really what his designs are?

I wonder how many men/women purchase a home in hopes of pursuing a bride/groom? Or perhaps that is what college is for?
Bingley may perhaps be a bit impulsive, although no more than your average car-buyer who sees the loaded features on the car at the lot, and between the sticker price and all of the discounts that the salesman can throw at him, he just "has to have it".
Do you suppose that Bingley has chosen to take the residence at Netherfield because of the women in the area? It's an interesting thought, but we'll see how it all plays out.
