Or they want you but don't want you to know that because they think it's complicated and all will end in misery. Or they don't know how much they really do want you until someone else has you, and then it's Too Late until you get dumped, at which time they're in another relationship. Which, if they've since let it drop that they did want you at some point, they now are bent on demonstrating how much better this new hook-up is than yours and theirs could ever have been.
There are many, many variations, but these come immediately to mind for some dang reason. Love lives are rarely simple except for people like Pre-Faye Swen.

In the real world, it is pretty obvious within the first 6 months whether you have a chance or not. All Elliot had to do was flirt some, invite her to things, etc. If she wasn't flirting back and coming up with excuses to not hangout with just him, then she's not interested. Girls will rarely say they're not interested, they'll just do what they consider to be nice and avoid the issue. He never had to directly confront her (big turnoff, girls like to play "the game"), all he had to do is indirectly check to see if she's interested.
Elliot should have moved on a long time ago...this plot is something that would happen in high school. Instead of worrying about someone who's leaving anyway, how about getting on with your life? If she says she doesn't feel the same way, his feelings are hurt. If she says she does, then he'll feel even worse when she leaves and mope endlessly. Chalk it all up as a failure and stop wasting your life being sad about this, there are plenty of other girls once you stop focusing on one that won't workout.
Welu:
All that assuming Elliot is socially mature/aware enough to know that was what he should have done. So far we've seen he is not.
We also don't know exactly how Padma and Elliot get along. It's heavily hinted that he, Padma and Sam have gone on hikes before ("You always name them Bitey.") and she invited him so they most likely have a friendship outside of work. Again we're not sure, it's possible other than the hikes that they only see each other at work. Elliot does cite, "We work together." as a reason he hasn't told her how he feels. Also it's hard to express your feelings enough when they've reached love stage without your boss' child jumping down hills to catch snakes.
I'm also going to take this chance to say I loathe playing "the game".

And yet, we still haven't seen cross-neck guy appear again in the strip.
