Farideh:
There might be a chance for Elliot and Clinton: Clinton once said that he would be open for the possibility if the right guy came along
Gyrre:
Time (and Jeph) will tell.
Farideh:
But I want to know NOOOOOW! 😉
BenRG:
Those two really need to learn how to just deal with the fact that things involving deeper emotions are always weird and just get on with their lives. No, I'm not expecting them to do that either!
You know, just about every time we see the ladybot at the serving window, she's saying something snarky and/or rude. That doesn't make her that unusual in the cast of QC but the bit at UR when she made a crack to her friend about her being 'made of biodegradable matter' was a bit too aggressive for my liking. I know that Jeph has created the character solely for the purpose of delivering the snappy punchline but there is an aspect of snobbishness and cruelty that doesn't quite work for me.

Well, "I'm flattered" is pretty much the classic thing to say when you're not interested but want to let the person down gently...

Yeah, I think that Jeph is doing a good job at keeping things up in the air for now.
This reminds us of the negative aspect of the crush: That all the attraction in the world can't help you if you don't feel sufficiently at ease with someone to open up to them without it making you feel sick.
St.Clair:

“I think perhaps the most important problem is that we are trying to understand the fundamental workings of the universe via a language devised for telling one another when the best fruit is.” -Terry Pratchett

English, however, is of much more recent vintage; and when it comes to that language, I refer to H. Beam Piper:
--- Quote ---English is the result of Norman men-at-arms attempting to pick up Saxon barmaids and is no more legitimate than any of the other results.
