If I were Faye I'd be bugged at this point too.

Why?

Because the person you're dating now used to date someone who shares a few of your own characteristics?

That when you weren't ready to date anybody, he was dating someone else rather than sitting at home obsessing about your unavailability?

There are nearly seven BILLION people in the world, if you are "one in a million" that means there are 7000 others just like you.

You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake.

Or you are...

Maybe Renee was a lot like Faye, but more intense. Maybe she's bitchy to people and doesn't even feel bad, to the point that she barely has a conscience.

Maybe Renee is just like Faye, but dialed all the way up to ELEVEN!

Penquin47:
Am too a beautiful and unique snowflake!  So there!    :mrgreen:

Seriously, I'd probably get over it pretty quickly, but the fact that he was going to two different places at the same time to flirt with two different people who have a lot in common, at least superficially, and that after dating the other one and it not working out he came back to me?

Sure, Faye wasn't emotionally ready to date anyone when Angus and Renee started dating, but that doesn't mean she can't be upset that he started going with Plan A and now she's Plan B.  Sure, if things had been different, maybe it would have been the other way around.  But maybe not.  And while it's somewhat irrational, it still hurts.  Just like it hurt watching Dora and Marten be happy together less than a week after finally developing the courage to tell Marten that it can't happen between them.

Consider what else Faye could be seeing here, too.  Marten and Dora just broke up because Dora couldn't get over feeling like she was Marten's replacement for an unavailable Faye.  Now Faye finds out that Angus's ex is similar to her, could be a little irrationality going on with "this won't work he's only dating me because on some level he misses Renee".  Hell, when he came back, he even SAID that he was looking for a good hard rebound sass!

Sharp:
Huh, the way I saw it wasn't "Angus is creepy," so much as "Angus doesn't have much game."

i.e. He really only knows one way of getting to know/interacting with women.

If he is attracted to snarky, clever women, and Faye was like that, and Renee was like that, then it's understandable that he would use similar methods in interacting with them. Dear God, that last sentence is probably a grammatical mine-field, but I am far too tired to check.  


EDIT: I don't think that Angus was doing what people think he was doing...From what I gather it went down like this:

"Hmm, well Faye is cool and fun to riff with. And Renee is cool and fun to riff with. Now Faye is not really warming up to me, but it looks like I have a shot at something with Renee."

or maybe Renee made the first move, hell, we don't know! Don't assasinate his character yet folks! We're all human!

akronnick:
Maybe he was so mortified after the "Bottle of DeGraves" incident that he wasn't comfortable enough to show his face at CoD, so he went to tSB, started sassing with Renee, and that led to a relationship.

Then, for whatever reason, that ended, and he decided to steer clear of tSB but he still needed his daily dose of caffeine and sass.

As I recall, when he came back to CoD, he wasn't really laying on the flirt as much as before, but YMMV.
