Tova:
Given that Marten has not actively been trying to date her, and they are just going on a hike, I don't get where all this speculation of whether Marten will 'chicken out' is coming from. You can't chicken out on something you weren't setting out to do.
themacnut:
Yeah, but this is Marten we're talking about. The guy who waited on Faye for months comic time, and years our time before she finally let him know dating her simply was not going to happen for him. And his relationship with Dora didn't really get started until she kissed him. Marten is NOT very aggressive when it comes to ladies he's interested in-and previous posts have shown he did show at least some interest in Padma when they first met (though those strips could be interpreted otherwise considering Marten's passivity).
It's rather telling though, that Faye did end up dating a guy who pursued, and even harassed her, while Dora went out on a date with her business partner simply because he was bold enough to ask. And Marten presently has no real dating prospects in sight.
Tova:
That's all fine, but you still don't know whether he is chasing her. Maybe he is. Maybe he's not.
jwhouk:
Just a little edit to see if this looked better - which I think it did:
Personally, I think just adding the two little word balloons makes it more comprehensible, rather than having two characters standing there with their mouths open for no apparent reason.
It's not a big thing, of course.
jwhouk:
"Complicated and wanky". I'll take the former, but I'm not so sure of the latter.
(Yes, I'm a Rush fan, why do you ask?)
