I'm deeply, deeply worried for Marten. He might be able to repress everything right now, but after 4 or 5 fancy beers, he'll be having himself a tear-stained, embarrassing evening. Poor Marten. Our author is setting it up perfectly! Marten never even answered Steve's question satisfactorily--of course he's not okay, even if he's laughing.
On the other hand, I'd love it if he could calm down about this. Imagine, the same day (in QC time) you begin to hanker for some sexual contact, you get it? Sounds like Jeff-ex-machina to me. A normal shy guy who has little sexual confidence would not be so lucky; try a gap of months (or weeks, if you're lucky). He's basically living in a storybook world, where casual sexual partners grow on trees. It's weird, but the fictional people who mope about not getting any action get many times more action than their real-world equivalents. And yes, he's looking for a relationship, but it would be nice if he would at least thank his maker (well, thank his author) for making life so bloody easy in other ways. Seriously.
Method of Madness:
I just wish I knew what he said to Tai when she asked why he was laughing.

Thank you for helping me expand my ever-growing cache of useless-in-everyday-life knowledge and congratulations to your formally correct haiku.

Authors don't generally write things in unless they have some kind of significance to the plot.
"Marten goes to the bar with friends and has a completely normal night where nothing significant happens" is not something that'd get written into the comic.
What would be really awkward is if he ran into Padma there.

Should I be scared of what happens after those four-five beers?

We'll have a string of drunken nights that last until Marten has been knocked out by the entire female cast.
