Please be more selective with your quoting - we don't need to reread everything, just enough to provide context for your reply. Thanks.

You may want to take your own advice and go back to the very beginning of the comic, read the first, oh, 500 strips or so and then come back and seriously post that Marten did not start off in the comic as the stereotypical Nice Guy.
--- End quote ---
Isn't one of the defining features of the Nice Guy (as opposed to the nice guy) that he wants romantic interest from a woman who is only interested in him platonically? If so, then I can't agree with your assessment, because it's made very clear that Faye was interested in Marten romantically. It didn't work out due to her issues, and they've both moved on from that romantic interest. Still, there's a big difference between thinking that a platonic friend owes you romantic interest, and hoping that a romantic friend will one day overcome her issues and pursue a functional relationship with you. Only the former is creepy; the latter is, at worse, hopelessly optimistic.
Citation time!
#64 - Steve is convinced that Faye is interested in Marten
#83 - Dora is convinced that Faye is interested in Marten
#118 - Faye creatively dodges the question of whether or not she's interested in Marten
#220 - Faye gets upset when Marten goes out with Dora on the double date with Steve and Ellen
#567 - Faye tells Marten that she's upset by the fact that it's him and Dora who wound up together, not him and herself

Irony at work: I decided to hit the "random" button after perusing today's comic one last time.
It forwarded me to #75 - Dora's first appearance.

Is it just me or do Faye's boobs seem huge today?
