Tiogyr:
Or it could be Tai trying to precipitate a bit of final closure between Dora and Marten by forcing them into the same room so that they have whatever talk they will eventually end up having, then freeing things up so she can move in afterwards.

Near Lurker:
In Marten's defense, Tai's specifically said that she wouldn't go after Dora if they broke up.

I agree that she should give a heads up, just so he isn't caught off guard should anything come of it. However, I don't see anything wrong with dating someone a friend of yours dated.  Then again, I'm  lesbian from a place where the options for finding other ladies to date is pretty limited. If you weren't allowed to date someone a friend used to date, no one would be able to date anyone other than their first girlfriend.

That sounds like love-polyhedral Hell.

All I wanted to say is that seeing the TEH shirt again always makes me happy. :-) It's like an old friend!

I love that the characters in this strip don't wear the same outfit everyday.  Repeats just enough!

--- Quote from: nonethousand on 25 May 2011, 02:57 ---I think it's something  along the line of:

1) Martin is my friend.
2) IF I go to a party it would be bad manners NOT inviting him.
3) So I invite him, BUT I warn him that things might get awkward.

Now it's up to Martin to accept the awkwardness, or decline the invitation.

You may be right, but I think that's some pretty faulty logic. Where is this "law of politeness" that says you absolutely must invite every single friend you have to a party that you're going to? I don't think it's rude at all to not invite Marten, especially since he won't know anyone other than Tai and, to make things awkward, Dora. If it was a party with all of Tai's and Marten's mutual friends, it'd be different, but this is a party that Marten has no real obvious reason to be invited to. Tai could have not mentioned it and no one would have been hurt. Instead, she's creating an awkward situation because...well, because she's Tai and that's what she does, I guess.

Cybit:
Aye, if Tai hadn't specifically stated in the past she wouldn't go after Dora, that would be one thing.  But a) give them both some time out of respect and b) don't say things like that if you don't intend on keeping your word.  It feels almost manipulative if Tai wants them to talk so that she can make a move on Dora, and I'd pretty upset if a friend wanted me to reconcile with an ex so it's "less awkward" for them to make a move on her.  

The whole thing seems sketchy to me, and whenever something seems iffy, I always try to err on the side of caution instead of gusto.  What it'll come down to for me is can Tai just flat out 'fess up to what she wants, and how Marten feels about Tai's intended actions.  I've dated one girl who dated someone else in my social circle, but that was after he spent a month trying to hook us up, and I still was hesitant about the entire thing.  It just seems like a recipe for a lot of hurt feelings.
