I have a feeling she might change if that helps this relationship.
(or wait, what relationship? they've kissed and exchanged stammers. nothing's official..)
Madmartigan:
We'll know how well they work out when they hit the first bump in the road and we discover just how serious Dora is. We know how much Tai wants. Dora doesn't want it nearly as much.
Until then, it's vomit inducing butterflies during their "bump the junk" period. If Dora lets it get that far before disaster.
Personally, I see Dora more with a Jim (that's his name right?) type when she eventually settles down. A mature equal to really dote and treat her like a princess while also having a successful business.
We'll see how it goes though. Coming outta left field from Dora. But if it makes her happy for the interim, I'm down with it. Just don't think Tai is the right choice.
jwhouk:
Actually, Marten has done the late-night "gotta get my girl back" drunk. If he hadn't, we'd be all posting about the weather right now. (HINT: it was the reason why a Cali-born indie boy ended up in Northampton...)

--- Quote from: themacnut on 09 Aug 2012, 02:53 ---Eh, I never saw the point in making a fuss over friends dating exes. If your ex screwed you over by cheating on you or looting your place or something, then of course you warn your friend, but if they still want to date the ex, then on their own head be whatever happens. Otherwise, wish them well and if you really can't stand seeing them together, well, they're two adults you really can't control so all you can do is not see or talk to them until either they break up or you've found a way to get over it.

A mature attitude is not an appropriate response! Moar Drama! Moar Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth!
Seriously though, I never understood the whole "I had sex with them at one point and even though I'm no longer with them you need my permission to do anything with them." thing myself. Does touching genitalia confer some sort of perpetual ownership?
It seems just so Cro-Magnon.
That being said, I've avoided dating the exes of friends because I noticed that if the relationship ended, it was usually for a good reason, and either the ex I avoid because they did something unethical or my friend no longer has friend status because they did something unethical.
Schmorgluck:
After some thoughts, one possible reading that came to my mind of Gabby's "I don't believe in altruism" is that she meant it specifically with reguard to hetero guys reguarding their exes. Or, similarly, that she conflated Marten's attitude with the one of a Nice Guy™, which involves a hidden agenda.
Not vert generous of her, but at least she has some excuses, given how gendered stupidity tends to work.
