Oenone:
I mean, she’s also in group therapy. She could be bringing in some of the discussions she’s had there.
gopher:
I'm hoping we soon get a mirror of this conversation with Marigold and Momo. Would setup an exam question too. "Compare and contrast..."
Is it cold in here?:
May has been something-related-to-advising on this relationship even before it started. It is possible she feels like she owes Dale something and is trying to pay it back.
How does she know what advice to give? She might have a social protocol database too. She may have spent her time in Robot Jail "reading" and gotten started on books about human relationships.
Those books exist because some things can be taught. Active listening, random acts of kindness, the five to one ratio -- all teachable skills. We teach kids what to do in a fire. Being in a relationship is more likely.
For heaven's sake, I would have been incomparably better off if someone had explained during my dating years that the overwhelming majority of rejections had nothing to do with me and did not constitute a pattern.
Hmm. I'm about to trigger a split into RELATE, aren't I?

PS: come to think of it, Marigold's imagination might not be that far from reality, you just need to replace the sexy Emily with a super cute anime Emily

This is one of the things that pointed me to wondering if Marigold isn't actually correct in her assumptions.
He didn't have the VR on when he was talking to Emily (Thus, he was giving her his full attention)
And he turned it on when Marigold came in to CoD...
And every now and again, Jeph shocks us with his devilish subtlety...
Not saying this is what was intended... but it's what I read from it.
Cornelius:
On the other hand, Emily does tend have some ... interesting effects on technology from time to time. Perhaps it's just safer to turn the glasses off.
