Comic time is slow, though.

Honestly, I got the impression that it was very much physical attraction ("oh my god Marten I wanna bang your girlfriend!" attraction) initially - it read more as lust than love, to me. She didn't seem to start mooning over her until towards the end of Marten and Dora's relationship at earliest, if my memory serves (which it admittedly doesn't, sometimes).
Stanistani:
Well, Tai has launched what is either a torpedo or a Cupid's arrow into their relationship.
ReindeerFlotilla:
Yes. Tai had the hots for Dora.
She didn't really start with the infatuation until after Marten and Dora broke up. Even then, it wasn't love. It was infatuation.
Tai's "strongly positive impression," if you will, of Dora is hugely evident around the time Dora sets the date with Jim, but even then, it's not really "love."
I love pizza. You could say Tai's loved Dora in those terms forever, but the kind of "I love you" Dora is talking about is something different, and possibly new. It may be news to Tai. It's even possible she didn't mean it that way (unlikely, but possible. A slim possibility. Very thin. Anorexic).
Certainly, though, Tai's been really into Dora in one way or another since they met.
BenRG:
Well, that was a lovely, heartwarming moment. I've long thought that Tai and Dora were in love and, more importantly, Tai is more aware of Dora's flaws than some gave her credit.
Jeph did an A+++ job with the artwork today. Tai's body language and the effort he put into the kiss were both nice touches that well communicated the principals' feelings. Particularly, Tai trying to do 'serious' and the way she gets the warm fuzzies from Dora's kisses. The last panel was the 'LOL' one, of course. It's obvious that Tai has been filtering out the 'L' word. Remember that she went through college on casual sex-based non-relationships and it is possible that she's afraid of going into deeper emotional commitment.
Tomorrow should be interesting in terms of how Dora reacts to this inadvertent declaration. She wouldn't be Dora if she didn't have some sense of inadequacy or fear (and poor Marten is probably going to be roped in as arbitrator again). However, I do think that these were words that Dora was ready to hear.
Naturally, the point of what Tai was saying - That Dora has issues to confront of which her relationship with Sven are actually a symptom - is going to be forgotten. :laugh:
P.S.

Yeah, that's not automatically very good, is it? Credit where credit's due, Tai didn't try to tap-dance around it and Dora is realistic enough to say outright that she knew she had a problem and she'll hold her reaction in check because she wanted to hear Tai's views on this matter.
It's a rare person who solves their problems like those Dora suffers. The most that most of us can hope for is to get a handle on them so they don't periodically ruin their lives and Dora at least seems to be trying to go in that direction.
osaka:
Frame 1 tomorrow: "And even so you STILL missed the whole point of my declaration :roll:"
