Paranoid:
That is a valid point. I admit Elliot could have handled it better, even given the fact that he doesn't have access to a time machine. Or so I assume: I'd like to believe that Elliot would have used a time machine if he had one, but then in retrospect I'd like to believe he was smart enough to follow Marten's advice in person instead of over the phone. :psyduck:
Skewbrow:
Sheesh. Some of you sound like Elliot intentionally made Padma feel miserable, and Marten was supposed to be clairvoyant enough not to give this particular advice, because Elliot might follow it (brushing aside certain sweeping generalizations related to gender or race).
May be Elliot was just left out, when notes about anticipating other people's reactions (like Padma's) were handed out? May be he should have picked it up at some point in his life? Doesn't matter, the fact remains that he had not. Not all of us are experienced in judging situations like this. It comes easily to some, others need more time to learn. People like Elliot (apparently also yours truly?) belong to the latter group of people. Everything points at Elliot being relatively inexperienced when it comes to relationships. How on earth could he ever have learned enough to avoid this mishap?
Carl-E:
I too get the impression that Elliot is terribly inexperienced in the ways of romance.
Live and learn!
themacnut:
Like I said in my previous posts about this, hopefully Elliot learns from this incident to not wait so long with the next girl he has feelings for. And maybe, as stoutfiles said, learn to flirt a little more with such girls in the future.
sitnspin:
Paranoid - How does it behoove Padma to notice that Elliot likes her? How is it anyone's responsibility to know when someone else is interested in them? It is on the person who has the crush/lust/romantic interest to make that interest known. There are no mind readers. If you want someone to respond to your feelings (for good or bad) you have to actually tell them how you feel.
