Should Dora go out with Jim?
Elysiana:
I don't see how that debunks anything. Marten had eyes only for Faye for a very long time. Why would he have suddenly asked Dora out? He may have had no idea she was even into him because of the googly eyes for Faye.
And I'm not so sure he was about to beg for forgiveness in 1797 - I could see him saying, "No wait, I don't want to break up over this," but that doesn't make him spineless, just that he didn't feel it was a big enough issue to break up over.
Blackjoker:
If you want to see one other time where Marten tried to be assertive, here. http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1835
In it Marten finally stands up to his mother who came to visit uninvited and had been doing little more than belittling him and frustrating him and is then yelled at, publically humiliated, etc. Please note that this is apparently within a couple days of the breakup so Marten probably isn't in the best mental state right now anyway. Honestly looking at this comic it seems like Marten was almost mentally battered or conditioned into being passive. He probably has a fairly strong emotional endurance but yeah, he doesn't impose his will very well. I actually begin to wonder if part of how he and Steve became friends is that Marten is the prefect wingman, quiet, reserved, and passive Steve looks more dynamic by comparison and Marten won't upstage him or complain.
You know, on further reflection most of the cast could arguably use some therapy.

Sorry - I was distracted by work matters and messed up there...

Well, judging from the latest comic, it's definitely not a business date. :)

Also, Jim seems to be trying to put his best foot square into his own mouth judging by the last panel.
