WCDT 2081-85 (Christmas Week - Dec. 19-23, 2011)
CrowFairy:
I'm kind of what you would call a bit clingy, and I had a crush on a guy for three years (We were in classes together and a club), and when I realized he barely knew I existed and didn't really care one way or another if we talked, I was over it in an instant. I was completely fine that night and the next day and every day after that. I never thought I would have been able to do something like that, but I did. If I can do it, I think it's just as possible for Elliot. Sometimes, a person can get over something a lot more quickly than that person or anyone else would expect. Give the big guy a little bit of credit. :)
JackFaerie:
But did you spend those three years constantly pining for this guy, sighing to all your friends how much you love him and miserable because he didn't know, and not dating anyone else because of your love for him? Elliot had more than a passing crush on Padma, and I can't imagine it'd be easy to get over someone you worked with everyday and knew quite well.
I can definitely see him telling Marten "good for you!" and not holding a grudge. But being truly over it? That's the part that seems totally unbelievable. I've had a guy I had a crush on get together with another one of my friends after telling him I was into him and being told he didn't feel the same way. I congratulated them honestly--they were both great people, and she was a far better match for him than his previous girlfriend. But I was still sad and jealous for a while.

Will also help keep from cluttering up the WCDTs... I recognize that it'd be a lot of work, though and I'm not in a position to volunteer this year (sorry!)

I had actually thought of doing this, but decided to try a WCDT instead. I may very well do it with our current totals, and "chop it down".
EDIT: I have gone and done it: MOMENT OF THE YEAR voting!
Welu:
I should and do agree that Elliot's dialogue feels a bit forced and convoluted, especially how upset Elliot was over Padma but I like BAP! too much.
Tova:
It seems that even someone posting "that happened to me" can't convince the forumites to let go of their beliefs.
Just because you can't personally imagine it doesn't mean it can't happen.
