uh oh:
--- Quote from: Madmartigan on 31 Aug 2012, 09:53 ---I'll be even more put off by their relationship if Dora comes to him next. That just smacks of awfulness. Marten could have his feelings reprogrammed to the point he never remembers romantic interest in Dora and it'd still feel messed up.

For some reason I don't think Dora'll come to Martin about this. She's known everyone else in the circle of friends longer than Tai has, so she has more options, and I think that may be a boundary Dora won't want to cross. And she knows Martin well enough to figure out the gist of what he'd say anyways so she'd probably pick someone else to talk to.
That is, if she feels the need to to talk to anyone right away. I get the vibe that all Dora's worrying about right now is not worrying about anything; maybe the "I shouldn't be dating anybody" thing or something will rear its head in awhile, but I feel like she's worked to bury that for the time being.

Dora may want to talk about this with her therapist. If she feels that she needs another person to reflect her thoughts and feelings from.

Jeph certainly has no problem introducing new characters, but introducing one and promoting them instantly to BFF out of the blue would seem forced IMHO. Valid point about Tai character development opportunity though.

In my opinion, you don't need a BFF to talk shop about relationship troubles. You just need someone you know and trust to some extent, has a level head, experience, and willingness to give advice. Again, I go back to Faye. In reality, she's the queen of issues before starting a relationship. And behind that tough exterior, I have a feeling she'd be able to give the same advice Marten would.
And honestly, I don't know what Tai would expect Marten to say. Sure he has a book of knowledge of Dora, but...if Tai is serious about Dora, Tai should develop her own book. Not steal experiences from Marten. That's rude. Unless she just wants more confirmation from Marten. If that's the case, I have a feeling he'll finally fly off the handle. I mean, dude's sick and tired of it. He could just lash out and tell her does have a problem, whether it's true or not. I mean, a person can only take so much nagging. I would most certainly be sick and tired of hearing about my ex and my boss/friends issues.
