Should Dora go out with Jim?

<< < (33/46) > >>

Also, you're totes cherry-picking. There was a huge pile of tissues when she broke up with Marten, if I'm remembering correctly. She'd certainly been crying. When his mother came to see her, she was remorseful and expecting punishment. Nearly cried then too. Hell, she broke down with Hanners when a guy ordered a latte. Any more than that and she would be whiney and annoying. You wouldn't want to be that person with Faye around...

I'm personally in the "BUT WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING" camp on this issue. I think a possible way this arc could go is we get to see a therapy session where she describes how the date went and that horrible moment when she bumped into Marten!

From the very flat break up to no reaction, it's not a person handling well.

Dora doesn't have the leisure of wallowing in grief like Marten (kind of) does. She is running her own business and has to find a place to live.

And I think, by stating she can't feel sorry for herself all the time, she's taking a more mature approach to this breakup. Is she sad? Yes, but she knows getting hung up on the breakup isn't going to do her any good.

She's previously been dealing with Sven, who as we've determined is a major source of her issues, and who knows if her saved drafts are about Marten or not? My guess is yes, but there's no real proof for that.

After the breakup we didn't see as much as Dora for a while, so it's hard to say how she was dealing with it. I'd say right now, she and Marten seem to be in the same stage of grief.

Yea, and not everyone admires that either, of course.

Okay, I do have to admit, Jim is growing on me, at the very least as an entertaining character. Considering the general tone of the comic, his comments that could be creepy are starting to come off as witty and hilarious. I think I did the same thing with Hannelore at first. I couldn't decide if she was creepy or funny, but now she's everyone's favorite (I know, not everyone's favorite, but you know, hyperbole is contagious on here I guess).

Hmmm...you know, Jim likes his girls a little bit younger.

I just wanna use your love tonight...
