Tell me, magical heterosexuals ... ! If one person is a man, and one person is a woman ... does this stuff just naturally happen!? Is there a compulsory, overwhelming urge of NATURALNESS that just takes over you, and allows you to have passionate kisses and fall in love under any circumstances, and any short amount of time!? Media confuses me...this seems like such an exciting existence! And here I am, living a slow-paced gay life where I need to silently assess and scope out my potential partner!!
... But seriously, how long have Boston and Dawn been traveling together? A day? Two days?

It's hard to judge. It could be a couple of weeks? I think the romance was built pretty naturally, anyway -- SDers were certainly picking up on the shippiness early on.

Didn't they get a cheeseburger only a couple of days ago? I have no idea, it definitely is hard to judge.
Oh, and I'm not saying there was no shippiness. The dude was all sighing about how she smelled like lavender, after all, and she's had a kind affinity with him. But just because there was shippiness there it doesn't mean I don't feel awkward about where they decided to culminate it all into a kiss, I don't really feel like either knows each other at all. Not that ... people aren't allowed to kiss if they don't know each other, of course! It's just that with her tear-streaked face, and his dramatic line about there being more to life than cheeseburgers, the magically placed kiss panel just comes off as bad to me.
I am, admittedly, nearly impossible to please in how romances are executed, especially in this medium, though I always like certain ideas of pairings. So this could be just me being a bad wife to comics.

xDDD RIGHT? I mean come on Dawn, I get that she may have just thought that he could have died, and was happy he was alive and that could be why but she doesn't really seem like the type of person who would be all Lets kiss after the few days she's known him, she seems the type who would keep on a level head about it and want to actually get to know the person.
It's not like they've had deep in depth conversations about anything but being brought back to life and who the white lantern should be.

Of course they are not in love, but I just find it strange that even "omg you're alive" needs to have this compulsory kiss, even if it's because they are uh...overwhelmed with passion and relief or something. Oh my gosh, am I raining on shipper's parades? I don't even mean to do that! I like the idea of this pairing :)
Though honestly it seems like it would be the best ring to have. It actually gives advice and tells you like it is, and has conversations and it's all like "Boston, wtf are you doing" like fifty times a day. It's my favorite ring.
I guess we're supposed to assume they've gotten close to each other off-panel... or something. DISAPPOINT... maybe she was just relieved to be away from Hank's paternalistic butt for a few days? :)
That is why, ultimately, I need to always be grateful for them. I complain and complain and they're still there for me.
... I seriously thought the Generation Lost stuff and Boomerang breaking out of jail has all been at least under a couple of weeks. My comic timeline head is not on straight.
xD Yeah I guess. It just really feels rushed. One of them will probably end up being like "That shouldn't have happened" in the next issue or something though, I bet. But to be fair Boston is super hot and I'd so make out with him too...
Oh yeah, it does, but I have that complaint with 95% of comic pairs these days. Er, wait, it's not just in this medium, but in most literature -- it's that compulsory love thing. They are a good looking man and a good looking woman on a mission together, just the two of them -- of COURSE it ends in kissy times!!! Or flirting, at the least. It has to be. If there is none they must be totally asexual.
And yeah...I'd make out with Dove. I mean, he's been dead for how long? I don't know the last time he's even gotten to make out with someone.

That's true, I wonder what a book would be like without any of that. Hm... I think that's why I really like when it's like a family team up (well the ones who don't flirt with each other), or like... Dick and Donna. I like when there isn't any of the flirty sexual type of stuff it makes things unique and fun I think. *nods*
Actually if I remember he had a ghost girlfriend once, or something like that, I don't really remember what was going on there, but Boston has always been a ladies man. *nods*

You see, lesbosaurus rex, when a (presumably straight) man and a (presumably straight) woman, both wearing outfits so tight that you can tell what religion he is, are traveling around getting into incredibly dangerous situations on a nearly constant basis, they may wind up making out.
Some of that is human nature, i.e. reports of people banging like rabbits during the Blitz. Something about surviving an incredibly dangerous situation seems to make the human animal immediately say, "Oh shit. Quick, make more people in case that happens again!"
Some of that is, well, goofy writing.
