Do you like Faye, as a character?
idiolect:
I don't see why you all seem to think the thing with Sven is "her being stupid." We hear about his philandering past, but he's treated her nothing but graciously the entire time. Also, it makes absolute sense that she'd go for him and not Marten earlier -- When you're insecure about sex, you don't want to be with another person who is also insecure about sex. All you get out of that is one big insecure awkward implosion. They would have been *terrible* for each other. I like them both, they're both cute and it was fun to watch their (incredibly awkward) crush, but seriously guys, it would have been a huge mess. Sven, on the other hand, is comfortable with his sexuality and can show Faye what she doesn't have and so desperately needs in this arena -- confidence. On the other hand, *she* has something *he* needs, which is someone he actually respects and cares about to be with. Through each other, they can explore key aspects of their previous love lives that had been distinctly lacking, and I think that could be a really good thing for both of them.
Also, against all you Sven naysayers, I think he's amusing and actually a nice guy (*gasp!* Guys can be nice and have slept with a bunch of people? Crazy, I know) and personally I would've chosen him as well for the same reasons listed above.

Word to everything you said. I think Sven is a typical college guy, banging em and leaving em but he's been called on it. He doesn't seem like an awful guy, but a person who has made some really poor choices and hurt some people. As though anyone on these boards (or anywhere else) has never made a poor choice, or used someone, or been a coward about their behavior. I don't think he'd be a smart choice for Faye, as far as relationships go, but I don't care that she wanted and got a little nookie from him. Its not stupid, its just sex.
Theres a lot of sexism that crops up when a girl takes control of her own body. I dont think Faye was ready for a relationship, which is what she would have had with Martin, but she was surely ready for a little physcial intimacy.

I don't know, she might even be ready for a relationship, just not A RELATIONSHIP, if you know what I mean. I can't say I blame her. OMGRELATIONSHIPS kind of suck a lot of the time. She doesn't need someone to swoop in and try to help her fix all of her problems, especially since that would never even work anyway. She needs someone to just be normal with her, and treat her like a normal human being.
The gF:
And you know, I feel like maybe Sven can really be the one to do that for her. Yes, this will be turbulent, but this could be really good for both of them.
And that makes for good comics. :D

I do not like her. Too abusive. A random suicidal dad is no excuse.
