--- Quote from: Carl-E on 25 Jan 2011, 22:43 ---See, this is the type of thinking I have a problem with.  Just because someone is not in a relationship doesn't mean they're looking to get into  a relationship!  I realize you're acknowledging that it's against character for them, but the phrase, "what options they have" is where I have a problem.  

The option of staying single, at least for the time being, is the one being ignored!

Besides, since Marten has returned to being the comic's Chew Toy/Butt Monkey (especially considering what his mom put him through), that means No Girlfriends For Him. Not in a sexual/romantic context anyway. Sure he'll have lots of girl friends, in a totally platonic fashion, but no girlfriend. Not for a long while at least; and it wouldn't surprise me if he had no girlfriend again for the rest of the comic's run. There is far too much mileage to be taken from his perpetual sexual frustration. Just you wait, Dora and Marten will reconnect as friends just around the time she starts dating again, or even banging random dudes. Marten's frustration will be epic.

And even putting aside the whole Chew Toy thing, Marten is simply far too passive to go out and get himself a girlfriend anyway. He waited months for Faye before the Talk, and the only reason he was with Dora at all was because she came onto him. I'm betting if Dora hadn't made a move, Marten wouldn't have either. And he'd probably STILL be single.

So unless Dora decides to rekindle their romance or another similarly aggressive (and attractive) girl jumps Marten, I think he'll be single for a long time to come.

Yes you are.

I'm starting to feel sorry for Dora's hair.

People have relationships, and these can be discussed appropriately, including "realistic" speculation; I try to reserve the "shipping" label for the times it gets inappropriate, to avoid confusion.  Also, if the forum appears to be in a self-correcting mood, then the odd slip may not be commented on if a moderator sees it after the moment has passed.
