--- Quote from: eurydice23 on 29 Mar 2012, 10:51 ---I never really got the vibe they were dating.  I know I'm gonna get a storm of "you act like we don't know what dating is!" But weren't they just having sex? I mean, did they call them selves boyfriend/girlfriend? I feel like Padma might have been sad that Marty couldn't hang out, but I don't think she knew he did it becuase he was pissed off at her. I think the email is gonna go over just fine.

--- End quote ---
Anytime I asked a girl to a movie or a party or whatever, in the 1950s it was called a "date." In the 1980s, my daughter suggested that the definition had changed substantially. I don't think Marten and Padma spent much time together. Both recognized a strong chemistry. With Padma's plans to leave, they recognized in different degrees that it wasnt to be. YMMV.

Tomorrow is Friday. That spoilered strip is still out there...

Kenyahp:
That was my biggest issue, too. Were Padma and Marten even "dating", could they be considered Exes?

I mean, honestly, I'm basing this on my best friend and her current boyfriend. They met by having sex one night and met up to have sex a couple more times. Then he asked her on a date, but they weren't officially dating until after he asked her to be his girlfriend.

I think Marten and Padma are similar. Like...neither really said what they were, so were they? Or were they just having fun?

TinPenguin:
Thing about dating... it's just a word. Its meaning can be entirely subjective.

However, in my mind there are two alternative prerequisites for dating. The first is, y'know, actually going on a date(s). The second is sitting down together and settling the nature of the relationship. Padma and Marten never did either (the dancing doesn't count as a date).

Bastion:
Aw yeah, Abby. I like my men large as well. Scrawny doesn't cut it when you are a voluptuous ethnic lady. Can you imagine?

Anyway. I'd say that Marten and Padma weren't serious enough for there to be too much trouble to get back to being awkward acquaintances. Personal experience speaking here.
