--- Quote from: Odin ---You may want to review those strips again, many pages were spent in the WCDT threads for them talking about the various instances of "time gaps" in them.

It has been at least a month, if not longer.

--- End quote ---


Yes, god forbid I don't read the forums everyday and just when something interesting happen in the strip I'm curious to other peoples opinions on. However, Somebody did point to a strip saying it had been "weeks" since the breakup.

--- Quote ---One of my main points was the therapy call/visit. From past experiences, I don't think it would take longer than a month from the time of her call to her first visit. 2-3 weeks even seems like large amount of time.
--- End quote ---

This would depend entirely on how huge a client list your local therapist has (and how many therapists are available in your area), honestly. I know there is a woeful shortage of them in Georgia and you're pretty much shit out of luck unless you live near medium-sized city (plenty of child therapists around, not so many for adults).


--- Quote ---Also, as a general thought, is it not common curtsy to give half the time of a friends relationship before even asking their opinion on your asking them out?
--- End quote ---

Well, if you're going so far as to curtsy while asking, sure.  :mrgreen:

*putting on my asbestos suit*

I'm with Odin. The heart wants what it wants when it wants it. Tai should, at least, try hanging out with Dora and see where that goes.

Black Sword:
In the metaphysical sense, heart causes more problems than the (upper) head. People who advocate with the heart cause more long-term problems than those who follow their (upper) heads.

I really hope Jeph surprises me and doesn't do what I think he's going to do. I'd be fairly disgusted if he did.

Dora and Marten haven't even had any sort of closure yet, have they? And how much time has passed since the breakup?
--- End quote ---

Marten may not have had any closure yet, but it seem Dora has moved on quite nicely (she's been exhibiting the most "normal" behavior out of anyone: she continued on with her life after allowing herself to grieve over the breakup; meanwhile, Marten is changing his entire social circle to avoid having to deal with moving the fuck on).

If it has been a month since one of your friends broke up with their ex of six months and they are still moping around about it like a sad sack, that friend is the one with problems, not you.

Dora is getting therapy and apparently happily moving on with her life, she is free to date or do whatever she wants and it is literally none of Marten's concern what she does any more.

I'll state right out that I think the breakup is a month tops rather than months.....

I'm not convinced Dora is over it. A common response to emotionally painful situations is to put a mask on the situation by telling everyone you are ok and trying to act "normal". If you are acting normal and all over it then people are less likely to ask how you are feeling and therefore force you to consider your still raw emotions. We know from the first major argument between Martin and Dora that Dora's exes have been general lowlife... But Martin only found that out upon talking to Sven and wondering why Dora was over reacting. Dora strikes me as someone who acts more stereotypically male by dealing with breakups by burying them rather than talking about them.

In terms of your last comment, the issue is whether or not Tai should be making a move on Martin's ex while emotions are still maybe high. The question isn't if Dora should start dating Tai or anyone else. I suspect that if Dora did have a one night rebound night with Tai then she'd be mortified afterwards.

Kugai:
Actually, I think that subconsciously Dora is looking for a 'Change in Direction'

After all, she managed to fuck up what is, to all intents and purposes. her first long term relationship with a guy (Marten) in god knows how long - and she knows she's the one who fucked it up.  It may be that she's seeking to swing to the other side of her Bisexual nature, and Tai is an easy target since she knows that Tai would just love to get between the sheets with her.

Whether or not it works or turns into another train wreck is a matter of conjecture - and what direction Jeph wants to go in.
