V1:
LTK, I think it's just that he's been caught out and caught off guard. Namely, Faye's caught him out for what he is underneath what he thinks he is. Marten likes to think of his attitude towards relationships as being quite evolved (which is understandable, given its contrast to Steve's attitude towards relationships) but in reality, it's not all that much better (as the incident with LT Potter proved recently). We might possibly see in the next few comics something like what we saw briefly after the end of Marten's relationship with Dora, IE a renewed interest in things outside looking for his next partner (no matter how brief/insubstantial the relationship is). He may realise that the reason Faye and Tai are thinking the way they're thinking is because he has been less than thought through with his approach to relationships, and that pursuing other things (the band, getting more into working at the library etc) is a good thing to be doing. Esepcially given the old axiom that the way to find "the one" is to stop looking.

It's also entirely possible that he was so flustered and downright scared over the whole thing that the thought hadn't even crossed his mind until Tai said something. And he probably wasn't even thinking about which gal he'd want because Tai was lusting after them all herself, which may have turned him off from thinking anything like that.
El_Flesh:
But really - that IS the point of interacting with ladies.

This is baffling to me beyond reason. We haven't even yet SEEN where Emily puts stuff when she wants it to be colder... And what would Claire do with that anyway? Seriously guys.

As somebody who has never once drunk something more alcoholic than lemon, lime and bitters, I take exception to this statement. I actually prefer not to drink alcohol. Don't like the smell, can't stand the idea of winding up drunk.

Pretty much this, with the exception that I do have a glass of wine once in a while. I also have no desire to ever be drunk, and have never had a buzz - and considering I'll be 29 this year, I see it as an achievement, not as a failing.
