--- Quote from: TheEvilDog on 09 Jun 2011, 09:11 ---But is Dora completely over her issues? Thats the real point. In physical therapy you never push yourself before you're ready, you end up doing more damage. Its the same here. Is Dora ready to go out with someone? Or is she going to start seeing Jim as every other guy she has gone out with? Is she going to do the same thing with Jim that she did with Marten, to start projecting her issues on him?
As it is, no, I don't think Dora should go out with Jim, even if it is just dinner. She isn't ready for even that yet, in my opinion.

I completely agree. Dora needs to spend more time figuring out what she really wants (and needs) before she even casually dates someone else. And even if she were ready, Jim?? I don't think a significantly older divorcee would be terribly good for her. I don't know. I'm kinda on the fence concerning Jim. :|

--- End quote ---
An army of robot hamster bakers handle things. HannerDadLab is in the sub-basement, with a wormhole leading to Ed Bronchovsky's place over in Greenfield. A quantum tunnelling feedback effect led to the Great Oven Explosion of '98.
Is it cold in here?:
What are the semiotics (do I mean "semantics"?) of a dinner invitation in that culture?
When I moved out where I am now I was taken aback to find that asking for a dinner date got almost the same reactions I would have imagined getting from "Drop your pants and spread your legs". I told one young lady that I liked her and her approach to life and that I'd be honored to take her out to dinner on Thursday, and shortly thereafter her brother showed up at my office door to tell me how "uncomfortable" he was with that. I figured out to ask women out to lunch instead.
Tiogyr:
Lunch is generally a better first date idea anyway, but damn, how old was she and how old were you? Because something about that story is fishy no matter where you're from.

He has silver temples... I don't know many under-40s, or even under-45s who are rocking those. I'm sure it's possible, but it's not the way to bet.

--- End quote ---
I'm sure that is true. Just as one can fill an inside straight. :) So far the only lesson we've seen Jim learn is "Hire a better lawyer".

I think you're surprisingly judgemental about this. I know he doesnt give the impression, but we cant know for sure if the breakup was Jims fault, can we ? Sometimes it IS the fault of only one of the parties that a marriage fails. Yeah I know its rather rare and unlikely, but "in dubito pro reo" - as long as proved otherwise, we have to consider people innocent, dont we ?
--- Quote from: DSL on 09 Jun 2011, 09:11 ---I just got a picture in my head of Raven and Hanners working out these equations on the specials board, maybe while Jim looks on in bemusement and Dora wears her Death Pout.
--- End quote ---
I cant picture either of them doing such a thing. They're both too intelligent.

Except its extremely dumb.
For example, a 13 year old can only date a 12 year old, who in turn can only date a 10 year old, who in turn ... LOL. And yes, some people start dating with 13 already. Quite a lot of girls do. Often older boys, not boys of their age, who are in general not ready yet.
Or: a 16 year old can only date a 18 year old. Now what the ... ??? And a 18 year old may only date a 22 year old. Where the heck do you live ???
However, a 36 year old may date a 58 year old. Which IMHO is a too large age difference in most cases. More than 16 years maximum is way too extreme for many people.
And for the record, the constellation found to be the most happy couples on average is age of woman + 6 = age of man. Dont let statistics rule your love life, though.

--- End quote ---
Even dumb math talk ? All these rules what age difference is appropiate are absurd in my ears.
The only real question is if both parties are happy in a relationship. Absolutely nothing else.
