--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 29 Sep 2011, 01:26 ---I wonder how Momo feels, watching all this and knowing how much her social protocol database could help. The SPDB probably says not to volunteer advice. She waited until Angus was wondering out loud what to do before she offered a suggestion, and that was for someone she knew relatively well.

Watching all of what? Momo probably gets pretty frustrated with Marigold sometimes, but I'm not sure that she's integrated into the rest of the group enough to realize that a social protocol database would even be helpful. She's just met Elliot and Padma, and hasn't been seen actually talking to either of them. Though it does makes you wonder how much work really went into the SPDB and what kind of intricate situations it's prepared to handle. Considering the target demographic for the KawaiiPC, it might not be very much more than a set up for your basic social interactions.

--- Quote from: Welu on 29 Sep 2011, 06:25 ---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....
--- End quote ---
Ug... I just got a sick feeling in my stomach after reading this...
Could it be that Padma brought Marten along knowing it would bother Elliot in an attempt to get him to finally open up? In my experience us guys are pretty bad at hiding our feelings from the one's we're interested in, so Padma probably knows... Maybe she's tired of the charade and wants Elliot to speak up. Since her announcement that she was leaving didn't do it, she's trying one last ditch effort by bringing another guy into the picture.
Long shot, yes, but ridiculously plausible. I hope for Marten's sake this isn't the case = (

At this point we can pretty safely assume that the girl Elliot's so in love with in his first appearance is Padma. There he was afraid to tell her because it might ruin their friendship, so I'd say they're pretty good buddies outside of work. But those are both just excuses. Poor Elliot's real problem is being blessed with a crippling fear of rejection.
As far as Padma using Marten, I don't think she's quite manipulative enough for that. But I also don't think it would be so bad even if that WAS the case. She invited Marten along as a friend in a group big enough that it was instantly obvious it wasn't a date. Marten seems pretty willing to stand aside for Elliot, especially after this last comic. Padma wasn't running around breaking hearts and going out of her way to make Elliot jealous. And desperate times...

Cross-neck guy is Pizza Girl!

Looking back at that strip again, I just noticed that there's a piece of bread pretty awkwardly peeking out over cross-neck guy's shoulder, like he's holding it behind his back. Perhaps...Baguette Boy?

If she knows anything, it's more likely she brought Marten along so that Elliot wouldn't try to announce his love for her. Girls increase the group size when they don't want to be alone with someone.
However, given the way Padma has been portrayed so far, I doubt she has any idea. Then again, I'm shocked a co-worker hasn't said anything to her yet (since one knows, I assume they all do).
pwhodges:
Or they have, but she's still oblivious! (Yes, I've known people who could do that.)

I want to write a story now where I can steal this for a title. There's some kind of great story in there somewhere.

Please take the title with my blessings. Just send me a copy of whatever you come up with.

--- Quote from: stoutfiles on 29 Sep 2011, 05:58 ---In the real world, it is pretty obvious within the first 6 months whether you have a chance or not. ... Girls will rarely say they're not interested, they'll just do what they consider to be nice and avoid the issue. ... (big turnoff, girls like to play "the game"), all he had to do is indirectly check to see if she's interested.
--- End quote ---
None of the women I dated in college fit your stereotype. Just thought you should maybe know that not ALL women are manipulative and like to "play the game" or are overtly obvious about their reactions to people they're interested in.
