--- Quote from: Uber Ritter on 16 Mar 2008, 20:55 ---Man, everyone that thinks that Dora's too crazy/insecure for Martin but that Faye's somehow a match made in heaven baffles me.  Given that even after this she still doesn't really feel 'ready' for a relationship.

But anyway, I don't think that Dora's acting like girl, inasmuch as I do the whole 'blow up embarassingly and then cool off almost immediately' thing all the time myself, and I am decdidedly a dude, if a somewhat girly one by some standards.

We don't think Faye is a "match made in heaven" but she has progressively worked to make her problems lessen and hopefully go away(as much as they can), while Dora honestly just seems to get worse and worse, not better. Sure she doesn't "feel" ready, but does that really mean she shouldn't or will not try? If what we've seen and come to understand is true, then hardly, she will give a relationship a chance, but maybe it should be with someone who will likely understand better (hence, Marten). Sven is a good start, and growing to be a better person as well, but he doesn't have a full understanding of Faye, and thus is not exactly the person Faye should have her first relationship in a long time with. While the idea of a "starter" relationship sounds cold, even too me, it is honestly what she needs to work herself up to having a real, long term relationship with the person she wants to be with. I've used the idea of someone who has lost the muscle in a limb, you have to work slowly but steadily up to strength with the limb if you even want it to get to the state it once was, thats the best analogy I can think of.

I'm not sure it's quite right to say she's just acting like a girl. I mean, it irritated me when Steve said that, oh, you never call a girl irrational and so forth. In Dora's case, she really needed someone to call her on all her BS. I mean, she's been uber insecure in the past and I'm glad that Marten didn't let her walk all over him. She may be feeling confused and so on, but the way she's handling it really isn't cool. And yelling at Faye when Faye really was apologetic...just seemed mean.

To say something in her defense--she did look very good in that fight strip.

MC:
well this isn't the first time she's done this..... I could name at least 3 other times she flipped out and than blamed it on her insecurities. Honestly this is probably the thing that annoys me the most about Dora. I mean everyone's got insecurities at some level..... get over it.
