Dora,Tai, and Therapy
LTK:
Well, to be fair, at a time when Dora is cautiously eyeing the shallows of the ocean that is relationships, Tai comes along and floods her with love like a helitanker dumping a few thousand liters of water on a forest fire. If things do go wrong, it's not entirely Dora's own fault.

I actually suspect that she's avoiding thinking about it at all.

Just so. Especially when you are feeling as flattered as Dora seems to be feeling right now from being pursued.
Welu:
I think part of the reason the friends, specifically Marten and Faye, are being so supportive is that they have been watching Tai crushing on Dora for what seems like a long time now. Their judgement for Dora's mental well-being could be clouded for their happiness for Tai getting what she's wanted for so long.

I agree with that which is part of what makes it frustrating. Seems more like they're teasing her and the like because it is Tai and I have a feeling if it were anyone other than Tai, they wouldn't be acting like this at all. Which makes the one-sided heavy attraction all the more dangerous to longevity.
SJCrew:
I do agree that the timing on this development is rather odd, but as it was pointed out before, Dora's insecurity issues stemmed mostly from men. Tai being female may give her a different perspective that women are not as prone to disloyalty, even if it is irrational. If there's one good thing coming out of this, there's the possibility that Dora's soulmate just wasn't meant to be male and she still has a chance at happiness without years of therapy and abstinence.
I'm not going to set predictions on where this will go just yet, at least not until we hear what her therapist has to say.
