No wonder the dude is so passive. If you can never get a freakin' night's sleep, you just have to dreamwalk through your life.

You know darn well Pintsize will grab the "open spot" and "sleep" nights.

If it's only to make sure "again" (face palm) that he's ok with (c'mon, he'd have to explode at some point being asked again) I have no problem.
To Tova. Not trying to vilify Tai. Maybe I'm just old fashioned, more introverted, private about relationship affairs, that asking a recent ex of her new date buddy is a little in bad taste. I mean. Can he escape Dora at all anymore? Or put another way, does he constantly have to be hammered about a relationship he used to have with someone he deeply cared about? I don't think I could stand the nagging. And again, doesn't seem fair to ask the ex. It isn't something I would do, only mature friend or not. (I mean, I guess she's not close enough to Faye then? Seems like I'd be asking the one person for advice who has the most stable relationship in the comic.)
Being fine with your ex dating your friend/boss has nothing to do with showing just a bit of class of not having that friend at your beck and call for everything related to your ex. Even if I'm over it, I don't want to be constantly reminded that after just a few short months (if it has been that long) she's gotten over her issues enough to date seriously again and maybe with the issues that broke us up.
I mean. I'd give a pep talk sure. General relational advice? Yea. Advice specifically for Dora? No.
--- Quote from: Andy147 on 31 Aug 2012, 01:53 ---So, what advice should Marten give? "Watch out if Dora starts to flirt with anyone else. Next time you disagree with her, she'll probably dump you and start dating them! Oh, and she likes to be fucked in the ear."
--- End quote ---
That's kind funny. Though if you think about it, it does paint Dora as highly hypocritical for their breakup reasoning.

I'm starting to think Marten should just give in already. Time to become a therapist of his own and start getting paid for all these late night Marty talks. Call it "A Time to Talk with Marty." He can have his own reality TV show too!

--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 30 Aug 2012, 22:12 ---Tai goes to an employee for comfort and not a classmate or other friend? Marten's a great choice, but why would he be first in line?
--- End quote ---
Where else would she go? From a story-telling point of view, no other friend has been presented, and Tai is closer to Marten than Faye, Hannelore, Penny, or any other character. Otherwise? The faculty-member she was sleeping with eons ago? That would be an awkward conversation. To the polyamorous drama-club in her hall of residence? She's ready to move on from that.
--- End quote ---
Jeph doesn't seem to consider it bad story-telling to introduce new characters, and if Tai hasn't made a Trusted Good Friend in all her time at college, that's a bit of characterization that deserves a line of dialog or two (M, blinking: "Don't you have anyone else to ask?", T, looking lost: "No").
Don't women prefer other women for relationship advice? Tai also works with a female who has a more objective point of view, a social protocol database, and access to every psychology and relationship book ever digitized on the Internet or in a college library.
