We're still under a year in "comics time", so it's a little early to write Marten off yet. I was a complete idiot about women 'til, well, quite a few years after my divorce. It's never too late to learn, it just takes some folks a long time, and is made more difficult by the incompatible romantic myths men and women get primed with.
One day Marten will learn that he's responsible for his own feelings and expectations and no one else's, and that if he's honest and up-front about those he can relax and enjoy the moment, unashamed and without mopery. 'Til then, we get to enjoy his misery. I sometimes work in an office with a lot of younger people and get to watch this process play out in real-time. There's no downside, really.

... in relation to what? I don't quite follow.

Ah yes - the reality that Padma is still going away in light of their night together has finally bubbled to the surface.
How Marten deals with it will show the strength of both his character and maturity.
stoutfiles:
And so begins the tale of Mopey Marten. Oh sure, we'll have brief moments of happiness here and there, but mostly just a lot of moping. For all of you rooting for Marten to score and saying its just what he needs, Marten's character has never been about one-night stands.
Anyways, I hope this passes soon and puts Marten back on track to accomplishing something. It wasn't too long ago he had his awakening when Dora about what he wanted to do with life, but after ONE band session he went back to doing nothing and waiting for things to fall in his lap like usual. Come on Marten, stop talking about all these things you want to do with your band and start doing them! You'll never succeed if you don't try.

You are forgetting or ignoring that stuff happens outside the strips; what Marten said to Padma about the band makes it clear that they are continuing to meet and work towards reaching performance standard.
