And quite frankly, obsessing about someone you know and are around on a regular basis for months and not sharing your feelings is, to put it delicately, a little creepy.
It's the kind of behavior Nice Guys(tm) (and God do I hate that term) engage in.
It's not healthy, and it never works. He fell in love with the idea of Padma, but never actually bothered to get to know Padma as a person.

i'm not even that upset with padma (as a character) but rather jeph jacques, and his choices for the series since the breakup. just dropping a sex interest into marten's path - one who's totally adored by some tangential character (and no, elliot is NOT a creep) - then having marten "luck" into a little rebound nooky just hours after he convinced elliot to spill the beans to the love of his life is all-too-familiar for me to stomach right now ....

so, the moral of the story: don't listen to women, you might accidentally get to know them ?_? my mind, it it blown ...

I think that says more about you than it does about Jeph.
"Luck" when it comes to relationships is, as it is with everything else, simply a matter of noticing opportunities and being ready and willing to act on those opportunities when they present themselves.
Acting on an opportunity takes a certain degree of risk, you have to be willing to be shot down. It's awkward yes, but it doesn't have to be devastating.
This is also good for Elliot, although it may not seem so right now. Now that his crush on Padma has been, well, crushed, he, if he recognizes the opportunity, can move on and hopefully meet and begin a healthier relationship with someone else.

So much truth in your words.
And yes, "What now?" in this situation was probably nothing more than pillow-talk, even I know that... But still, the greater question will be asked eventually. And it will sound quite similar. ;)
Oh shush about "serious start of commitment" or "casual sex". Either can follow up into the other if circumstances are right. (Granted, these directions aren't equally probable)

Is that a box of condoms? I can only make out the letters L U B ... not familiar with that brand. °O
