I would hardly call 6 - 8 weeks immediately, but I do agree it is too soon. However, I base that on the fact that she hasn't spoken to Marten and sorted out those loose ends yet, not the amount of time.

Mind you, I'd throw the same argument at Tai.

I've come to distrust relationships between friends / coworkers so much over the past year that I think maybe total strangers that you know and trust implicitly is the only way to go.

QUANDARY.

In the office so can't link to Utube but does anyone know that song Creep by Lonely Island?

Yes Faye just called Jim a creep. I agree with her - he came across creepy in past encounters. What are the chances that they will end up venting at each other over failed relationships on this dinner date? And then Jim giving Marten the evil eye when he is in TSB? I think that would be suitably awkward and juicy.  :evil:

Stephen:
That is a good point. The chance they will vent their frustrations. This can create a false connection between people, a feeling of closeness that does not really exist. If such a thing occurs between two people a real connection usually doesn't form. If neither of them meant to create this sort of connection then it can explode at the end but the best case scenario is they realize they aren't interested and end it. It may be that she had a false connection with Marten as he was a passive and non-threatening yet (in her eyes) handsome and trustworthy. Then again it may have been a false interruption (which I just made up) in a real connection. This is only being mentioned as possibility though, as the worst case scenario I envision of them connecting, a repeat of what happened with Marten because she was ready and fooled herself. Then she's back to before square one. It looks like she was contemplating if she was ready to start dating again in the previous strip with Tai.

I actually have to argue against my own point here, though. We don't know much about Jim and therefore don't know what kind of a person he is. He may be one of those jerks that Dora usually goes for in which case any venting is a trap. I've been in a relationship with someone who did just that. She'd make confessions about bad experiences and past mistakes, badmouth the people who hurt you in the past, and then when she was done using you... People like that don't know they're doing it and are very good at convincing you that it is your fault.

I don't think that she should date Tai as Tai really only seems interested in a physical relationship with Dora. Just look at when she helped them move. Instant lebido mode. She even went so far as to try and get Faye into it. And THAT is your happy thought for the day.  :evil:

Is it cold in here?:
That's a good third post. Welcome, new person!
