My dating experience isn't necessarily valid either, but I've tried it both ways, pressing the matter and not pressing it. Neither has led to good. :)
It seems to me that whether or not Marten should press the matter depends on the nature of the relationship, as they have defined it. If it's "just a roll in the hay" and that's it, then he just shouldn't bother. If they intend this to be a lasting relationship, he should definitely go over there to find out what's up. I get the feeling that they haven't really defined their relationship, so I suppose it could go either way, but I definitely lean more towards visiting her so he can, at the very least, ask, "are you okay?" If she really is going through a difficult time, this would be an appropriate, supportive thing to do.

It's definitely Dora. Her boobs are too small for her to be Raven. Look at the boobs! :D

My gut feeling is that Marten is right... for now. Leave messages and wait. For a few days.
If he hasn't heard from her in several days, and hasn't been blown off, then I don't think stopping in to see if she's ok is not creepy, nor is it being "that guy"

Good advice. Always look at the boobs.
It's what I do.

--- Quote from: jwhouk on 11 Jan 2012, 05:53 ---We in this crazy world of being QC fans/readers/obsessives have always seen tSB as something of an "alternate universe" CoD. Hanners and Marten mentioned that the first time they set foot in the place.
There's one thing that differs between the two, still - someone dying. In the CoD "universe", it was Faye's dad. In tSB, we're still presuming it's going to be Padma's grandmother.
What if it's not that, though?
I'll just leave my thought there for now. But I've seen enough foreshadowing to suggest someone is about to get written out of the story - permanently.

Oh no, Renee! After all she's apparently the counterpart of Faye, but since the bakery crew are all subtly different from the "originals" maybe something bad is going to happen to her, instead of a family member. Of course if something bad has happened to any of the bakery crew you'd think Marten and co. would already know about it, if only via overhearing gossip from customers at Coffee of Doom or in the college library. In a fairly small town like that someone getting killed by an exploding donut maker or what have you would probably generate some local press and a lot of talk.

...That's not what I meant.

This comic reminds me how glad I am I learned these lessons early.
1)Don't dwell. Either its moving forward or it isn't, if it isn't, keep yourself amused and distracted by other things. S/he won't love you more if you are mopey and weepy.
2)Keep it moving. If its not working with somebody, or hasn't worked, don't sit around hoping things will change. Start moving toward finding somebody else.
Most people want partners that are self-reliant and strong. If you have these attitudes, your partner will sense it, and be less prone to playing games.
