You're being rude, Marty. You're not a chill ex bro.

Dora has nothing to be jealous about because
a) Marten won't approach a girl because he is forever an awkward boy who never grows up.
b) Dora could get Marten back at any moment. And she knows it.
c) The depressed, awkward boy with no money isn't going to get the single ladies to come to him.

Sad to say, but I think stout is right on all three points he made, especially point (c). Marten's being relatively broke isn't so much a problem, broke guys get girls all the time, but the depressed and awkward are the real problems. I've known guys who have it together career-wise, they're making good money in upwardly-mobile professions even in this lousy economy, but they still have no luck with the ladies-and it's because their ability to chat a lady up is lacking. They're like Marten, they stare but never (or hardly ever) approach. And they wonder why they keep going home alone.
And yeah, point (b) is dead on too, Marten is Dora's for the asking whenever she feels like asking. Which of course, is precisely why she never will. Such is human nature that we generally don't want or appreciate what we can easily have.

You know, that response of Dora's seemed just a wee bit jealous. I mean, a certain flat, aloof stare, but still a wee bit jealous.

She's probably thinking how rude he's being. It's like saying "hold on, I see a girl more attractive than you!"

Here I thought she looked like Dora and Faye fused together.

Last time, he got a new best friend out of it, what are you talking about?
--- End quote ---
I think he meant this time, which was much more recent than when he met Faye (which is what I assume you meant).

I like these polls. Even if I can't remember who half of these people are.
