Should Dora go out with Jim?
Baeronvonbleat:
Known qualities of Jim:
Divorced - Messy - Involving high levels of negotiation, lawyer fired.
Quick Mover - From what we can tell, this is the third time he's talked with Dora and he's suggesting a date.
Unprofessional - While I don't entirely buy into the don't date where you work philosophy, you certainly don't start dating someone you just started a business deal with.
I think it's been discussed that Dora had insecurities regarding Marten's feelings towards Faye, and her insecurities don't really factor anywhere into being able to handle an ex-wife. I think it's a mistake all around, but it's also a meaningful opportunity to fail, and bite Dora in the ass, and have her grow as a person.

Two of your three points goes extinct if Jim meant this as a business date, on the other hand we can in that case "Socially clumsy" or perhaps even "Socially unadjusted".
I won't say misadjusted, since I am somewhere in that region myself - and I can assure you all, there was no one that learned me wrong, I just haven't learned yet although I have already lived more than 20 years. One might argue I'm a little slow to pick things like that up :mrgreen:

Something about the idea of someone seriously thinking asking a woman out after a few conversations with her (one of which was at least long enough to hammer out a formal business contract) is "moving fast" strikes me as hilarious.
If you're both single and you're interested, why not ask her out? What is the worst possible outcome considering that you are already not dating her? You continue not dating? Sheesh, what loss, oh horror!

Depends on the other person. If she rejects you immediately, perhaps with scorn, it would make future business dealings awkward, at best. If thing go well for a bit, then go south, same problem. Possible end of business deal. If there's a misunderstanding over the type of dinner date this is, that could be just laughed off, no harm, no foul.
Of course, if he's a jerk/creep, most of the outcomes would not be good or harmless.
Tiogyr:
The part of my post you quoted was addressed to real life and the kind of person that thinks asking a woman out after only talking to her a handful of times prior is "moving too fast", it had nothing to do with Dora's fictional life.
Also, again, a contract has been drawn up with regard to the business deal. If the date goes shitty neither one of them is required to deal directly with the other to uphold the contract (they each have underlings they can delegate deliveries to, remember?).
