As for the daughter (I'm hoping for the name Lucy) addition:
I don't really think he's going to introduce the two of them quite yet, and the possibility of staying over is now sorta eliminated.

I like this added factor, Jim immediately becomes more responsible which is both attractive and necessary to Dora right now. He's got things to take care of all of the time, which could be really great for her. Yes, she might and probably will get irrationally jealous at some point, but unlike Marten, Jim won't have time for her to act out.

Probably though, the flames of their love, like Jim's kitchen, will become extinguished.

Whoa! Love? It's just one date. It's not even clear to the characters how attracted they are to each other right now. As for Jim not having time for her to act out because he is too busy... that is not really a good thing in any stretch. It makes him more likely to tell her to shut the **** up and grow up (not a comment on how mature I think she is but the most likely scenario based on my experience with most people who are older or think they are more mature). I agree that in the long term I don't think they are going to work out and although I am still in the Marten/Dora camp I don't see them getting back together. I'll just get back onto topic. When someone is too busy to entertain an argument that person either ends up being a very dominating person (which Dora does not need) or seems neglectful towards the person trying to argue. I think this date will just kind of sputter out.

That is simply false. The singular they was used by Chaucer in the 15th century, and has featured regularly in English literature ever since. Campaigns for gender-neutral writing might be relatively recent, but the grammatical construction is older than modern English.

Wow, first tied poll I've ever seen on here.

Also, bye Hail Satan tag, it was good while it lasted  :-P :-D

Ooh Jim's got a kid. Not too surprising considering his age and the fact that he was married. But that means Dora may get to be [scary laugh]THE EVIL STEPMOTHER[/scarylaugh].

Let's see if she realizes the implications herself and decides to bail.

I'd be kinda surprised if Dora were thinking quite that far ahead...
