--- Quote from: Black Sword on 01 Aug 2011, 06:24 ---Marten has a point. There's looking, and then there's looking. Big difference!
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!"
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.

Well, shite, I'd be depressed too if I realized those 3 points. Still, you know what? I say fair game. He's got no one, and if he doesn't have it in him to go up and say anything then ogle away. I'm not sure that practically breaking your neck to look is...cool, for lack of a better word, but he's free to do it. Could you imagine Dora's reaction, though, if he followed her out and got her number then came back in to talk all nonchalantly? Priceless.
Kugai:
Glad to see marten's over the breakup. :-D

That is a normal reaction from a confident person. Marten is not that person. He's still got his hand on the back of his neck like an awkward little boy.
I'd be quite pleased if Marten grew some stones and tried that. As it is, we've watched Marten be a nervous ogler for 8 years and there's no reason to believe that he won't be doing it for another 8 years.
themacnut:
A guy can get a girlfriend without having to chat up total strangers though. It just takes longer and they have relatively fewer options. Like Marten, they generally end up dating women they hang out with or otherwise see and talk to regularly, like coworkers, neighbors, roommates, classmates or say, fellow customers (or employees, even the owner!) at the neighborhood coffee shop or bar they go to regularly.
Usually in these cases, it's the woman who asks him out first or makes it crystal clear that she's available to him to go out with.
Lorden:
The girl in plaid was checking out Doras ass! I just know it :-D Okay, okay... she was just watching over her coffee, but I couldn't help myself. Also, the girl design suggest that she maybe even has a some sort of personality thought up, but she may be to over-designed to actually appear again.
