If Dora decides the date is a bad idea, all it will take is a quick phone call (it's not 1992 anymore, everyone has cell phones, so no Seinfeld type situations will happen.)

Frankly, anybody worth spending time with should understand if she wants to call it off because she's not ready after the breakup or whatever.

Sorry, but I think that would be kind of rude, regardless of whether he'd understand or not. Sitting alone at a restaurant may not be fun, but being stood up at the last minute when he might have been able to make other plans had she declined up front isn't much less of a downer.

It's a date, not a relationship commitment. If she's "not ready after the breakup or whatever", there's no reason why she can't say so at the commencement of the date.

akronnick:
That may be a better option, but my point was that it's not too late for her to call it off if she wanted to.

I don't think Dora would call it off even if she did want to. I think it would be more likely for her to go on the date and talk about how fucked up her relationship with Marten was and how fucked up Sven is and how wrong everything everybody she knows does is.

In short, she'd act like an ass, and not even realize it. Just like her therapy session (at which she wasn't an asshole, that's what she's there for.)

TheBiscuit:
I was kinda hoping Marten would ask Faye what she was bitter about and they could have a heart-to-heart like the old friends they are. They could stand to renew their connection a bit these days. Just 'cause Angus is in the picture doesn't mean they can't be close. Marten's drunken antics notwithstanding, he's still the closest friend Faye has - as far as we know. She doesn't have that same depth of relationship with Dora, although they are definitely friends.

Honestly I wonder what Faye is bitter about. She's got a boyfling she seems to enjoy being with, they are having fun. She's getting past the worst of the issues her experiences left her with. Seems like her life isn't going badly. What'd I miss?

The only reason I can think of for her to be bitter is if the relationship with Angus isn't working out the way she wanted it to. It's possible that it could be working out on a superficial level but still not entirely satisfying her. We've all been there, right? There's nothing really wrong in the relationship, it just doesn't make you feel that chemistry.

I don't know if that's even remotely true, though.

Mr. Doctor:
I don't know man, I wouldn't be surprised if she still was kind of bitter about her father since that's completely natural and won't go away that easily.

I really don't think 'bitter' is the appropriate word for that. It is possible she was referring to that, but if so I would never have realised. I still stand by my first paragraph though; I wanted to see Marten follow up on that and attempt to talk about her feelings a bit. He's her best friend, he should show some concern. If it is the same old issues from the past, then it's no use to talk, but it could be some more recent events that she's referring to.

I do acknowledge your point though. She does have something in her life to still have negative emotions about. I just wouldn't have associated all that with the term 'bitterness'. All the current events in her life still seem to be going well though, at least unless she's got thoughts she isn't sharing.
