Renewman:
Not going to lie. I'm really not feeling this whole Tai/Dora thing. How can she go from not really knowing what she wants to do relationship wise with a date with Jim to just making out with Tai out of nowhere? I'm probably going to get hate for this but I really hope this ship sinks faster than the Titanic.
Method of Madness:
It was a very moving speech, and maybe Dora just wanted to be convinced one way or the other. Also, Tai is a lot less complicated than Jim, because she doesn't have a kid (although to be fair, she's practically a kid herself).

They never hang out together one-on-one or anything. Even though Jeph said Marigold and Hanners would never be in a relationship since they're straight, they at least make more sense to me since they actually enjoy hanging out together.

Opposites attract. My current situation reflects this.
I'm a pretty outgoing person, I like to ride my bike and fish and hike, I try to be as sociable as possible. My gf on the other hand is a computer gaming fanatic. She raids in Warcraft, and tried to teach me starcraft once but after my 6th consecutive loss to her I gave up being an actual player, now I just manage the base and build whatever little dudes she tells me too while she micro's the troops around the map when we do 2v2. We actually met each other while I was trying to be a good wingman for a friend of mine. I was the double in a double date, so I'm sitting there trying to make polite conversation when I mentioned that my younger brother's birthday was coming up and I had no idea what to get him. She started talking about video games and it was like watching a painting come to life. Suddenly this wall flower was chatting, asking questions, and laughing at all my noobish assumptions. I didn't have a clue what she was on about, but her passion for the subject and the way it animated her was incredibly charming. We've been together ever since, going on a year and a half now.
The point I'm trying to get at is because she's so much different to me, she always brings an unexpected view point to every situation we encounter. Instead of having a female 'yes man' who shares all my interests, I have someone who is constantly urging me to try new things. Some of it fails ( I. cannot. stand. WoW.) and some of it works (Left 4 dead, zombie slaying awesomeness). And I do the same to her (Though I still have to bait her hooks for her when we go fishing).

Study after study shows this to be a myth. There are always exceptions, of course, which is to say that you and your girlfriend have every chance of a long and happy life together, and best wishes to you both. But I loathe when people try to lend legitimacy to this idea that it's a good thing to have little in common with a significant other, when in fact the opposite (ha!) is true.

Careful now or you'll end up making this aaaaall too real to last... *sniff*
I'm so happy for Tai and Dora my heart skipped a beat when I saw the last panel.
I really gotta try that approach some time.
Also... where'd Tai's star tattoo go? Didn't it use to be on the right elbow?

No, it's on her left. You can see a bit of it in one panel.
