I think you've hit the nail on the head.
Pretty much from the time she met Dora, Tai has had this fantasy about her. And in doing so built upon that fantasy as people tend to do. Only now, the fantasy is meeting reality and Tai is finding out the hard way that they aren't the same thing. She's desperate for the reality to match up to her expectations and its failing fast.

I've only heard of bubble tea online. It hasn't made it out into the wilds of rural PA yet (although I'm sure it's available up the road at the little Big College town).
Really looks like just another way to rot yer teeth... though I love me some tapioca...
And EvilDog, you make a good point. I don't see this working nearly as well as either of them hoped.
More therapy fodder!

--- Quote from: DSL on 23 Aug 2012, 06:22 ---Were I Tai (and I'm not) I might take offense less to what Dora said than by the casual, distracted, almost dismissive way she said it -- a touch of the "other people don't really exist" vibe I've picked up from our not-quite-ex-Goth caffeinator in strips past.
Tai is realizing the danger in idealizing/idolizing someone: It's a pedestal that can be undermined by the slightest imperfection, and the fall is longer and the crash is louder than they really have any business being.

I agree with this a lot. I think there is more to it than Dora making foot-in-mouth gaffes. Dora seems to be giving off this whole self-absorbed and flippant sort of vibe as if its all about her. Even just her saying that she is enjoying being pursued gives it away. Whilst Tai seems genuinely interested in Dora (and has been for a long time). Even in the choice of clothes, you could see Tai going out of her comfort zone into the dress trying to be more girly because thats what she thought would be appealing to Dora. Whilst Dora, on the other hand, goes back to familiar territory in her clothing choices - she wears what she knows gets her the most attention. I don't think it is anything sinister or even thought out at all, just the impression I get of Dora's head-state.

IT does have the sort of atmosphere about it. Particularly since Dora had the far off expression when she told Tai she didn't have anything to worry about pervy dad coming on to her.
I am honestly seeing no real level of attraction so far on Dora's part. So far, there was only that awkward "haha, yea sure" response to Tai's clit piercing. That sounded like a flippant, not sure how to respond or dont' wanna hurt someone so yea, sure it looks good response. It isn't first date jitters either. I'm seeing absolutely zero chemistry going on here on Dora's part while Tai is trying her ass off and I don't think it's Dora trying too hard.
Like you said. I think Dora is merely enjoying the being pursued for once and the lavish attention being heaped on her that she is in her own little world. Awful start to something that really shouldn't have started this early given how hardcore into Dora Tai is. There levels just dont' match.
This honestly seems like a day out with your sister still. :psyduck:
Hypster:
Goddammit, Dora.
I really don't want to see Tai hurt, but that's where this date is heading.
