And what right did Raven have to tell Tai about Dora's personal plans? As far as I remember Raven and Tai have never really met outside of C.o.D., they aren't friends, she's just Marten's co-worker. In this case Tai and Dora were having the beginnings of a conversation, when Raven butted in and revealed personal information. Now, she couldn't have known was Tai was up to, but still, come on, acting like that with someone you barely know? How is that right?

In a universe where people casually threaten each other with Malay Battle Spatulas, I'd say that is perfectly normal behavior.

Frankly, even if the timing was ideal for Dora to move on, I don't really see anything longterm and positive working out between her and Jim OR Tai. Bumpy ride will be bumpy. Hijinks . . . inbound. ^_^ After all, Tai's just invited a whole bunch of people to this party -- she made the mistake of inviting the guest of honor last, but that doesn't mean she'll cancel the whole thing. Tai and Marten can be bitter together, and maybe Raven will show up with the makeout hobo. Who knows. There are any of a number of ways this could all go kablooie, drama-and-silliness-wise. Perhaps pie will be involved. And waffles.

Asking Dora out wasn't creepy. Bitch-monologuing earlier about his divorce and awkwardly complimenting (?) Dora ("You're a real woman!") was creepy. Also, he really does look like Littlefinger. >_> I guess we'll find out over the next week or so if he has enough favorable traits to overcome the initial creepiness.

--- Quote from: Hebes on 10 Jun 2011, 08:01 ---Aww, I feel sorry for Tai. If nothing else because rejection is never a good thing.
--- End quote ---
Uh, Tai wasnt rejected ? Dora didnt have a clue about why Tai wanted her at her party.

I certainly don't think Dora has missed out on Tai's feelings towards her. On the other hand, I don't think Dora is interested in a relationship with anyone right now. I think what she's looking for in Jim is a new friend, a more mature one and one that is not in the same small circle of friends as the rest. And, as noted earlier - this could work.
--- Quote from: LeeC on 10 Jun 2011, 10:52 ---wait a minute. Both are hurt from past relationships, both own their own company, both have wacky employees. This actually could work...

I like to chime in with the people disliking what Raven did. Not to say I'm not doing so myself every once in a while, we all make social mistakes every once in a while. However, interrupting someone in the middle of speaking is rather extreme. Even that doesn't mean we should dislike Raven just what she did.

Well, according to my estimates, there has been less than two months since the breakup. She and Marten haven't seen each other since, and they're obviously not gonna let it stay that way. I fail to see this as good timing.
Dora and Marten need to resolve the matter, they need to be friends. They could even get back together, but that would probably take a few months of singleship and therapy. No one in the comic has been single that long since Marten and Faye had the talk, except for Hanners and Marigold. Still, it can happen, and I hope it will - I don't see their feelings toward each other faded. But then again, we don't know that much lately...

Shit, this post got a little too long...

Things could be a whole lot worse with regard to Dora's choices in dating.
