As a fellow glasses-wearer, this confused me as well until I realized I was taking a myopic view of the reasons for wearing glasses. If Claire is farsighted rather than nearsighted (I'm not sure it's ever mentioned either way), then she can't see much up close without her glasses, and so Marten would have been a blur all night.

I'd be interested to see if, one day, Claire decides to give Marten a surprise birthday gift by dressing up in line with this fantasy. Naturally, Emily would ask Momo why so many guys and more than a few girls were walking into doors and losing their conversational track in the middle of sentences. :wink: :-D
Just to expand, I'm convinced that Claire is one of those women who looks plain because, normally, she wants to look plain. If she put her mind to it, I suspect that she could make herself very, very attractive, even hot. She's never really had either the drive or the confidence to do it before. However, having had a guy tell her that she's beautiful whilst staring at her nude body? I think that this could radically change her body image and how she acts/dresses sometimes.

Whilst the penultimate Best Case Scenario seems to be: "TAKE ME IN THE STACKS" I fear you overlook Marten's past far too easily.
Marten turns very, very pale, then slightly green. Claire: "Not... not your thing?" Marten: "You got that outfit from my Mum's line."

NEXT UP: Pintsize wakes up, acknowledges the new info, contacts Station, fetches a holo brown chicken and a holo brown cow. Is thrown to the wall again.
[/not completely serious]
I also thought that she was talking about the sexy librarian thing with the glasses. And I like the probability of MrNumbers' scenario, and just how hilarious it'd be.
(FAYE, somewhere in the background: "You should have checked the store before red")

Chicken....waffles.
Ho Kay.
Still, one of my favourite dishes is pork trotter and jellyfish. I took some convincing to try that too.
Meanwhile, my new sqeeometer with logarithmic scale up to 25 petasquee lasted less than a millisecond before overloading. Dang.
I can't decide which expressions are cuter - Martens or Claire's.
