Should Dora go out with Jim?

<< < (16/46) > >>

We also don't know what was talked about in session #2 with her new therapist - if, indeed, she's returned for a 2nd session, even though a little less than two months (six weeks, maybe?) have passed since we heard about session #1 - which was all about Sven.

Odal:
She should go out with Jim and with Tai.  I mean holy crap, new friends will be good for her... she should go out with anyone she can!

But that passes quickly.  A degree of variability like that is not unhealthy in itself.

Bad news for Tai. The latest comic seems to suggest that Dora knows how Tai feels about her, and just doesn't feel the same way back. Still, she seems to feel bad about Tai finding out about the date...I hope she can let Tai down easy.

My guess about why Dora doesn't like Tai...Dora generally seems to prefer men for actual relationships, despite being sexually attracted to women too. Also, she is a bit older than Tai, and might prefer someone her age or older.

Tai is also a bit too impulsive. I do think Tai is going to be upset, as we can already see. : (

I hope Tai doesn't take it too hard or do anything nutso.

TRVA123:
Given that we have no evidence of Dora making progress in combating her insecurities towards dating, nor have we seen any evidence of Dora aborting an overreaction... I think Dora seriously dating Jim would be a bad idea. I think that she would once again be eaten alive by her own insecurities and relationship paranoia, and that's assuming that her relationship with Jim would be a completely healthy one. (not that we have substantial reason to think it wouldn't be, but every new relationship is a pandora's box)

With Faye, we saw her making positive changes in the way she interacts with people and in her emotional responses. We knew before she started dating Angus that she was a much more stable person, and one who could handle intimacy again, than she was when she entered the comic.

It's completely possible that Dora has made enormous strides in therapy.... but I doubt it, simply based on Jephs storytelling style. This isn't the sort of detail that Jeph has glossed over in the past, and I hope that he doesn't have all of Dora's therapy/emotional progress happen "offscreen".
