Why is everyone assuming that he's going over there to flirt with her? This is Marten we're talking about. I think it's much more likely his thought process is 'Oh hey, those are the people who work at that bakery! I'm gonna go say hi!' and if anything romantic is going to come out of this it will be long and drawn out and involve considerable urging from Steve.
themacnut:
Not to mention considerable nudging from Padma herself.

No. "ChunkyGuy" is sitting right next to her, I think. I doubt she would be so messed up in the head that she would wave another guy over while hanging out with the guy who asked her out. Especially a coworker. Or maybe she's in a desperate, "Save me from boring ChunkyGuy" mode and is using Marten as a decoy. That'd be awfully sinister.
I would like to have a good feeling about Padma- I think she's one of the cutest females Jeph has drawn. Probably because shoulder length hair is pretty long, considering the hair of the main QC women.

This strip seems to indicate that MMB's subject of angst is not actually in the store next to him. He probably would not be mopily texting/checking texts/reading depressing FaceBook status updates from co-workers who were physically present in the same location.
And Padma's expressions in today's strip certainly don't look like "please save me from the unwanted attentions of my tablemate."

The Seldom Killer:
Odal - ChunkyGuy was too scared to ask her out (presuming this was Padma they were referring to) so he probably hasn't done it and she may not know.
Mind you the tenor of this episode compared to the previous two seems quite different to me. Perhaps Marten is still caTMItonic his subconcious is finally giving him what he's always wanted. This offers a couple of options. Either Padma is waving to someone else and this is going to get awkward, Marten is still in his chair and this is a Final Destination style premonition or the tSB crew are not actually in the bar, Marten's mind has finally broken and he's about to proposition Tai and Jimbo.
More likely that I'm just misreading the wide, glazed eyes.
Edited to remove evidence of NP fixation, thanks Mr. Hodges
