Random832:
So does anyone have a quick recap on what exactly happened with Sven? People have some pretty strong opinions on whether whatever it was was really his fault or whatever, and... well...
:psyduck:
Seriously, though, I can't remember anything at all.

- Declares love for Faye in fairly Nice Guy fashion
- Baffled that this fails
- Dora calls him an asshole for being so insensitive to Faye when her and Angus are on the rocks, cuts him out of her life

You know, at this point I half think "Nice Guy" just means "anything I don't like", since actually clearly stating your feelings is exactly the opposite of what a lot of people (hell, for all we know it's something Sven heard that led him to this) call "Nice Guy" behavior.
See e.g. xkcd

Anyway, now, so I can see both sides of it, does anyone who is claiming it wasn't his fault and that Dora was overreacting have a recap of their versions of events?

Hang on, did you think it was on the list for some other reason than the fact that they cooked in it? All fried foods list the grease/oil as an ingredient.
Thrillho:
He declared his love for Faye and then expected her to fall into his arms entirely on the basis that he thinks Angus is an asshole. Lots of folks dispute whether he even actually loves her, I would say that is quintessentially Nice Guy. 'I told her I loved her and her boyfriend is a douche, what more does she want???'
Anyway, his defenders say he was simply being honest about his feelings and Dora overreacted.
Welu:
The issue isn't that he stated his feelings, it's that he thought doing that alone would be enough to make Faye leave her current boyfriend for him. Also as Steve says, sometimes honesty isn't the best policy.
Edit: Ninja'd.
Double edit:
Back to today's strip, I'm really disappointed in Dora that after the practice-date thing where Hanners insisted she had fun and Sven was respectful, that her first comment about him is asking if he made a pass at Hanners. It's not only insulting to Sven, but also to Hanners' judgement of character.
I think Dora's built an image of Sven in her head that makes him out to be more malicious rather than oblivious to his good fortune, which is supported by actions he has done. Although she uses those negative times to override the times he isn't a douchenozzle.
