Mr. Doctor:
Urgh. This is just a trainwreck and I want it to stop. The interactions between Elliot, Brun and Clinton are all too forced. Just stay as friends.

Please, do not misunderstand me, I'm not complaining to Jeph. On the countrary I feel this has been an all too perfect demonstration of what awkwardness is when it comes to pursuing relationships. How forced and clearly-non-reciprocating it can be.




Now let's move to May and Sven's possible death by snu-snu.  :-D

I feel like Elliot and Clinton shoulda tried to be friends before they tried the romance game...

I personally think people need to factor in both 'attraction' and 'disgust.' A person might lack attraction and also lack disgust and be capable of  the type of flexibility you describe. But if a person is disgusted by a certain activity then they probably won't enjoy it. It seems problematic to me that many people seem to view attraction as real but view disgust entirely as a choice.

In the average person, attraction decreases disgust. Though I suspect that there are some people who are missing that effect, and experience both at the same time.

I agree with this that disgust is very much a factor. I do think that disgust is something you learn and pick up though, but once it's set in, it's really hard to get over if ever. But with disgust I think the problem is being actually disgusted by stuff and just not liking thing. When does one cross over to the other. I think it's easy for people to dismiss disgust as oh they just don't like it.

I thought they were friends. They were formally introduced to each other about 900 comics ago (comic 3507)  and they've had plenty of times where they've had what seems like fairly natural conversation. For two dudes who are socially awkward in different ways, at least. And who manage to repeatedly flirt with each other. "Accidently."

Anyways, my vote is for Brun going back with Elliot and cat conversations ensue. Brun is good for Elliot in this situation. She's incapable of seeing deceit in her friends, so she'll probably be able to speak about Clinton's actions in a ways that let's Elliot look past his own insecurities about what Clinton was saying. I hope Elliot is able to open up to Clinton after that, but I can't see him doing so (or going over to meet his mother... yeah... DEFINITELY NOT a date, right?) before clearing up some things in his own mind.
