--- Quote from: akronnick on 21 Jun 2011, 01:28 ---Why wouldn't she. Not only is she going on a date with him, she has a business arrangement, she should have a way to reach him. Like I said, it's not 1992 anymore. Sitting alone in a restaurant for an hour waiting for someone is not fun, especially when it can be prevented with such a simple remedy.

Not to mention that the only reason she would owe him that much courtesy would be due to the business arrangement. It's a first date, not a wedding, Dora literally does not owe Jim any consideration at all at this point outside of business.

Mayyyyyybeee.
--- Quote ---Is she reluctant about Jim? Is she feeling guilty?
--- End quote ---
I'd say "quite possibly."
--- Quote ---Could it be that she feels what she's doing is hurtful and insensitive and she's trying to make herself not be the bad guy?
--- End quote ---
Probably.
--- Quote ---Could it be that she only agreed to the date because she knew that her friends would think it was a bad idea?

DING DING DING DING DING! We have a winnah!
--- Quote ---Oh Dora! Why won't you let yourself enjoy things for what they are?
--- End quote ---
Because in her messed up little world, she doesn't think she deserves anything she gets enjoyment from.

You get an update 5 days a week. Quit complaining.
Back on topic. More and more, I kinda think that Dora loves to play the victim, or that she manipulates a situation so that others snap at her (or something similar), just so she can illicit sympathy from someone else. "Wah, they were so mean to me, wah."
jwhouk:
Hm. I wonder. When Dora got into all these bad situations with boyfriends/girlfriends/whatevers in the past, who was the one she turned to, trying to garner some measure of sympathy?
I'm suspecting that it was Sven. Her first therapy session was all about him; I'd wager that the only time Sven ever really showed how he felt about Dora - showed her "love", for the lack of a better term - was when she had another relationship crash down around her.

Wow, that sounds remarkably similar to the messed up little world I live in...
