HiFranc:
Actually, they were dating about 18 months. If you remember, they kissed whilst the weather was still cold, they had a summer, Wil was traveling the next winter (and they the sledge party that year) and now it's summer again.

--- Quote from: Odin on 14 Mar 2011, 08:50 ---I'm saying an adult friend is going to move on from past relationships with their exes and it should not ever be a problem for their friends to date one of their exes. If the friend seriously has a problem with their Ex dating one of their friends, they have deeper issues with letting go and all that other nasty stuff that goes along with clingy, creepy people than you can help them with (and as I said earlier, it wouldn't matter if the EX is dating a friend or not, the simple fact that they are bothered by the ex dating anybody is indicative of serious mental problems).

This quote really makes me sad for you, because I honestly can't imagine that you've ever cared about anyone in your entire life if you think still missing someone after a month is indicative of serious mental problems.
ecstaticjoy:
Yay! Dora and Tai!!

--- Quote from: Moxie on 14 Mar 2011, 12:15 ---I can so see this too! Doesn't mean that it's right for Marten to react that way, but seriously, after only a month, that seems like it would really sting...especially given Tai's behavior while Marten and Dora were dating.
--- End quote ---
I think you hit the nail on the head here - if Tai hadn't talked about it so much before then I think he MIGHT let it slide. As it stands, she's made numerous remarks about liking Dora and it really would look pretty bad. Actually I kind of wonder if she thought she was joking about it with them before but now realizes that it's less of a joke than she thought? That would explain why she seems surprised at her butterflies.

I definitely see your last point there - Tai joking about it, but now realizing it maybe isn't that. After all, she could have been keeping her own feelings hidden from herself since she didn't want to really come between Marten and Dora, and now that that isn't a block anymore she can start to explore those feelings. Or at least acknowledge that they are real to her?

Well then, I'd say it'd take Marten the better part of a year (roughly about 9 months) to be fully over Dora and ready to move back into the dating world without his head being muddled by feelings from the relationship. If it really has been only a month, I'm not too terribly worried about him still being mopey.

--- Quote from: Fenriswolf on 14 Mar 2011, 03:52 --- if Tai and Dora got together, in a totally not trite or dramatic way.

Is that even possible?
--- End quote ---
Ha, doubtful. But possible... obviously it would have to be something that developed really slowly. It'd just be nice to see a bi woman end up in a relationship with a woman in a natural way, because you seldom see it in popular media. A man or woman who is genuinely attracted to multiple genders, for whom it is not a big deal (beyond harassment holding hands and other discrimination) for them to get out of a hetero relationship and end up in a gay one.
