...it's certainly enough for NOW.
It always strikes me as odd how people assume love is some instantaneous binary equation, like you're either in love or you're not and it's a switch that gets flicked one day, perhaps after a quirky romantic interlude. Faye likes Angus, they share mutual interests, can parry each others' quips and quotes, and seem to genuinely enjoy being with each other. That's more than enough to define at least a stage of love, and there's plenty of time for that to grow into a much deeper and more consuming passion. Assuming you don't sit there on the couch and over-analyze to the point where you unconsciously sabotage a great relationship.
sitnspin:
Well... that was kind of depressing. Sadly, far too many people get involved for the very reason Faye fears, but those people are usually with someone not nearly as good for them as Angus.
If she had fallen for Sven, I would have thought this was the reason, but Angus has so much more going for him. He is a good guy and a great match for Faye.
Sometimes, Faye, it is okay to simply be happy. I say this hypocritically, since I so often over-think and jinx myself out of happiness. Yay chronic depression!

He then says he's over it, but come on, you don't crush like that for that long (I assume it's been going on a while) and then throw a switch and high five the new guy.

Looking at Elliott in panel 2a, maybe's he's channelling the spirit of Dave.

Then you think he's a drooling psycho in the making? Yeah, me too.
I could deal with Elliot being okay, or even glad things worked out for someone, in a vaguely melancholy way. But bro-fiving Marten with a big grin on his face? Too good to be true. Which means it ain't. Okay, maybe he's not lulling Marty and Pads into complacence until he can finally locate an iron pot big enough to boil both of them at once, but Elliot's up to something.

Marten, before helping Faye through another emotional crisis, please put on some pants. You know what happened the last time. :wink:
--- End quote ---
You mean Marten has another insecure woman snoozing in his bedroom? God! When will he stop doing that? Some people never learn.
And speaking of never learning*, I agree that Faye's trying to find away to torpedo her relationship. If the only reason she hung around Angus was to not be alone, sure, sound the klaxon and fire Tubes 1 and 5. But you just made a list or other reasons you enjoy the guy's company, idjit. Stand down, surface, and see where this goes.
*Actually, Faye is learning. But it's always, always, two steps forward, one back with this girl.

--- Quote from: JackFaerie on 19 Dec 2011, 15:24 ---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.
--- End quote ---
Pining considerably, yes. Telling people? Nope. I'm a pretty private person, and I don't think I ever told anyone about my crushes after a certain point in my life. I didn't date anyone else because no one else asked, but I don't know what I would have said if they had.
My question: Does he know her quite well? If he's as shy as I thought he was, then he may have just been watching her all that time and building a "perfect image" of what he thought she was. Sure, they talked, but did they really talk?
In any case, everybody is different, and if he sincerely is over her, then I'm glad for it.
Also, Faye, quit channeling people like me so you can quit worrying!
AnAverageWriter:
Back to the angst.
Again.
Angus angst, even.
C'mon Faye, just let yourself be happy for once!
