Gloria25 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Ok, I'm just flipping through this magazine that they keep on sending me for free in hopes I'll subscribe...nice home decor/food ideas in it. Anywho, ran across an interview with Jack Black, who claims it took him 15 years to ask his wife out. I, upon hearing this had to go some Googling and math. So, they married in 2006 . So, he probably was like 37ish when they marrried. So, he probably was like 30's at the time he finally asked her out and it took him 15 years - into his 30's to ask his wife out. Really, how many guy do you know (or you) that took soooooo long to ask a woman out? Why? Really, why?
Male Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Many women go their whole lives trying to build up enough confidence to ask someone out and they still never do it. There are plenty of stories on this very forum where men admit they go years without asking out a woman they work with, or someone they cross paths with on a regular basis. The only time I have ever waited, or pondered on whether or not to ask a woman out is at the workplace. Trying to weigh my options on the outcome of the whole situation.
loveflower Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 wow...15 years! I am dying to know why too. Maybe he was too shy?

loveflower Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Can a man be really that shy? maybe he never really had the opportunity?

MissBee Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 It wasn't like say he was the guy in the cubicle beside her for 15 years who saw her daily and never asked her out. It seemed he'd always had a crush on her but as he says: ”I use to see her and her sisters perform at clubs around town. I would watch from the shadows, mumble some compliments and shuffle off. So I would see her only every couple of years.” He only saw her every couple of years. That makes sense. If you sort of have a crush on someone you don't see often and who doesn't work with you or isn't in your circle it's less lame sounding that you haven't asked them out. Lots of relationships are where you might kind of know someone or interact every few years and like them but it takes years before it's the right time and place and things align. However, if you see this person everyday for 15 years it's a lot different and more lame sounding than his case where she was a performer, he saw her in her band and on stage and saw her every few years and it wasn't like they were friends or hanging out for 15 years. 1
loveflower Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Guess I know why he didn't have the courage. He is not good looking while his wife is really good looking. He waited 15 years to get the fame and money so that he stood the chance. Good for him.
