Dora, badass though she is at times, is still human and insecure.  And she's not the type to try to play mind games with Marten.

Hannelore's boob is not a big deal because we're talking about the same girl who was 100% chill with Marten going with Tai to get her clit pierced.  Random images of the bodies of friends/girls that don't fall into the danger zone (whether OCD-to-the-extreme or lesbian), is not a big deal.  And like it's been pointed out, Marten was totally upfront about both events.

Now we're talking about some girl Dora doesn't know asking him out.  What's this girl like?  Is she going to try again?  Is she going to try to get between them?

And Marten's reaction IS different.  When asked not once, not twice, but THRICE... Marten stuck to 'nothing happened.'  And don't say it's not a big deal, it IS a big deal.  As a twenty-something music-concentrator alum from Hampshire College, I can tell you that not a whole lot goes on in the Valley.  That's a big deal.  And with this cast of characters?  They talk about who's crushing on who every chance they get!  Remember when Meena walked up to Steve when he was muttering about meeting girls at the morgue?  Everyone at Coffee of Doom knew the score within a day.

All that said, I can't think of a way Marten could have handled it better.  Either he did legit forget, or he didn't think he should bother worrying her about that sort of thing.  He certainly has no intentions of pursuit, because he's Marten.  Dora was right.  He WOULD never cheat on her, because he's a nice guy.

Personally I kind of hope this causes a split because it's been a while since things have been shaken up.  Who's the newest character, Sven's intern?  Not exactly rocking the boat with that addition.  What would Questionable Content be like in case of a Dora/Marten split?  Would CoD be a safe haven?  Would Faye make her move?  How would  Sven react to getting dumped?  Does Raven make a move on Sven?  How does Marten deal with a break-up?  We've seen him when he's single and used to it, we've seen him on top of the world, but we've only seen him lose everything for a brief 48 hours between the talk with Faye and kiss with Dora.

And bring back Steve, I am honest to God concerned for the webcomic character.  Weeks ago, he was a wreck, playing with empty liquor bottles.  What's Meena's deal, did she screw it up with him too?

And thus concludes my epic first post.

maddness:

--- Quote ---The only reason to tell a significant other that you have been asked out is to intentionally make them jealous, if your significant other knows the person who asked you out, or if you have conflicted feelings from it.

My man tells me when other people hit on him. He knows I get a kick out of it ... especially when it's a guy! lol Besides,he knows that with my paranoia issues, if I found out he didn't tell me I'd be all suspicious and broody regardless of the fact that I don't believe he'd cheat on me.

Dora might think that he didn't tell her about this one time because he was thinking about going for it. I think though that Dora's issue might not have been with this girl in particular, but with the possibility that it happens so often that Marten didn't think it was out of the ordinary that day. That girls might have been asking him out on a regular basis and he never thought to tell her. And if that is the case, why has he not mentioned it? Could he be hiding something?

AngelofShadows:
Does Dora tell Martin about people who hit on her while she is working? There was a strip in the past showcasing that it happens.

She knows Martin wouldn't cheat, she said that much herself.

It just kinda seems like Dora is acting like every little thing that happens to Martin must be known to her. If it isn't, there will be hell.

But she doesn't need to tell Martin anything?

That....that really doesn't seem like it's healthy, for anyone. That could easilly lead to resentment on Martins part, and him just leaving. Which would lead to a massive ripple effect of Drama.
