Just cos she's the girl doesn't mean she wants to fall in love and get serious again right off the bat.
I always hate that assumption (not saying anyone in here is really doing it purposefully of course but some posts just reminded me of it)
when a male/female couple breaks up, it's so common in media to see the guy goin out with a bunch of different people to get back up on the dating horse
but seeing the girl alone alone alone, until she finds one single person to fall in love with again (and he may or may not be the actual mr right, if he's not the initial breakup guy was mr right all along, god romcoms suck)
Idk what Jeph's gonna do obvs, but I'd love to see Dora and Jim havin a fling, personally
(I would be such a bad therapist)

Pretty sure Jeph's going for the opposite of the classic corny romantic comedy trope. It looks like Dora will be the one dating casually, maybe even having a fling or two, while Marten's the one being "alone alone alone" for a good long while. Look at his prospects so far, basically Padma, who's shot him down at every turn and basically thinks of him as little more than a whiny townie customer, and possibly gay. She thinks Steve is more attractive. While that may change in time, Marten pretty much has no dating prospects on the horizon, while Dora has two people chasing her-and she's just let one of them "catch" her.
Marten's prospects may improve at Tai's party (if she even has it now that her star guest has begged off), but I'm not holding my breath-Marten's not very good at chatting up the ladies. Dora's gonna be the one having fun dating other people, not Marten. Never Marten, really. Wouldn't surprise me if he dates no one else for the rest of the strip.
Sorflakne:
Oh shit! She said 'Yes'?!
Good, I like where this is going.
Kazukagii:
Is this a love triangle I'm sensing? Intriguing. I just hope Tai doesn't snap and murder the hypotenuse.
I also hope she doesn't go crying to Marten. I'd hate for Marten and Dora's first interaction since the breakup to be about this.

Your link was broken; I've fixed it in the quote if you want to edit your post.
no one special:
--- Quote from: viva_x on 10 Jun 2011, 06:45 ---Everyone is complaining about Tai and Dora, and I'm here super annoyed with Raven. I HATE people that do that. If someone doesn't mention something, then it's not your business to be sharing.

Tell me about it. I can't freakin' stand it when Raven does stuff like this. I am not really missing her at all.
Besides, look at Dora's fave in the third panel. She is clearly uneasy. It's either because a) she doesn't want people knowing about this embarrassing date she made; b) she has an inkling of how Tai feels and she wanted to just gently explain that she "had plans" until Raven fucked it up; or c) both. Whatever the reason, it's clear (to me) that Raven needs to go away.
