Soulsynger:
Such pretty blue eyes Marten has... WHATs with me and eyes lately?

Why is everyone giving Marten such a hard time anyway? How was he supposed to know Elliot would pull a cannonball?

*kicks Steve in the groin* Nice back-friend-stab, dude. oO

@gangler:
Haha! I can hear the muffled toothless bar-conversation now.
"Good punf, dude, good punf."

themacnut:
Yep, I figured nothing good would come of Elliot confessing his feelings to Padma. It was already entirely too late, and now the level of awkward in tSB will be very high until Padma leaves. Nice going Marten.

Hopefully Elliot learns the life lesson to not wait so damn long next time.

Elliot was going to feel bad regardless of what he did, at least this way he gets to move on right now.  Best to just pull the bandaid off in one quick stroke.  The best solution though would be move on when you get zero signs that she likes you when flirting.  Girls will make it somewhat obvious if you bother to look.  Had he said he liked her sooner he would have just had an awkward situation where he has to continue working with her.

The lesson is to flirt and act upon the signs you're given.  If none, move on and test for signs in the future if so inclined.  Sitting around moping about it makes you uneasy, desperate, depressed, or some combination of all three.  Be confident and look elsewhere, there are plenty of fish in the sea.

Akima:
This is why I thought Elliot telling Padma how he felt at this point would be rank selfish self-indulgence. Way to make her feel bad/uncomfortable at a time when she's probably already a bit stressed. And for what? It was all about you wasn't it, Elliot? Marten should have known better. I'm disappointed in both of them.  :x

Paranoid:
I for one agree with Marten's advice.  At least now Elliot has finally gotten it off of his chest, and because Marten is not a Keyser Soze wannabe I see no reason why he won't take the time to calm Padma down and assure her that she doesn't have to feel bad for not reciprocating Elliot's feelings.  Things won't be completely back to normal in the Secret Bakery, but it's not like the norm there was particularly healthy to begin with.  Eventually Padma will move away, she and Elliot will forget about each other for the most part, and eventually move on with life.  At least now Elliot has a chance to do his part of that, instead of pinning away at a 'what if?' for who knows how long.

EDIT:  Also, it is just me, or is Padma sounding a little reluctant at the idea of moving away?  Maybe it's not set in stone as Elliot seems to think.
