Well, itâs pretty obvious that as far Mr. Jack is concerned, Bernice is There.
But I donât think Jack is feeling the same way about Bernice though. FAR from it in fact.
So I have to wonder, âWHOâ is going to end up getting their âfeelings hurtâ here?
1) Bernice, when she finds out Jack doesnât regard her as anything more than one of his many âfemale friends?â (A bit higher on his list than Tiffany, but several notches lower than Luann)
2) Luann, who even though Sheâs âfriend zonedâ Jack years ago, will wonder, Why Bernice and not Her??
Or
3) Monstro, after a depressed Bernice forgets to feed him/her/it for a couple of weeks?
All it could take is Jack asking Bernice out on a friendly, non-committal (In HIS Mind) date, to nudge Luann toward the âedge.â
Yeah, Yeah. I KNOW what youâre gonna say. âBut Jack may really, Really may have feelings for Bernice.â Yeah. And Iâm gonna be the next Secretary of Defense. :)
Piro didnât seem like the muscular type. Maybe mysterious also attracts Bernice. Approaching Bernice as a fellow nerd like Gunther did â didnât work.
Comments yesterday about Jack and Gunther being âgayâ â the usual claptrap.
All because they are not seen as having a current girlfriend.
Personal experience: Long before âDonât Ask, Donât Tell,â the policy was, if âtheyâ even think youâre gay, youâre out.
Being someone who found fat girls attractive, and knowing how the other military types were about fat people in general, and fat girls in particular, I made an effort to not bring her on base or expose her to the ârest of the gang.â
Little did I know that this would land me in front of a first sergeant who seriously believed that, because I had never been seen with a girl on base, that therefore, I must be gay.
Swooning here, Bernice? Will this turn into another Tiffany-Luann-Aaron Hill triangle? As in Tiff being uninterested in Aaron but didnât want Luann to have him. Will Luann be that Tiifany in this new triangle?
Wrong time, wrong place, wrong people. We have Polar body language, and Bernice is keeping a âsafeâ distance. Next thing she will pull out that little gun and take Jackâs temperature. I believe that if Greg went to a skeet range, he could take as many shots as he wanted, and still never score a hit.
I have a good friend who had the same problem in his youth. He just didnât knew how much he attracted many girls, because of his good looking and kindness to everyone. It took really long until he realized that many of them wished more than a friendship.
Ok Bernice, youâre here to see Ben, not drool all over Jack. Iâm hoping Ben steps outside, sees Jack, and they become instant friends. Bernice realizes her brother is a good guy and she goes home happy.
Smart guy, Jack. I ruined my knees from running marathons. I now have two lovely titanium ones. Figure skating is much kinder to knees (as long as youâre not doing triple/quadruple jumps).
He knows what heâs doing. âGreat neighborhood to walk inâ sure it is because you want to walk near the ladies that you are interested in in your muscle shirt.
Horny Bernice? Bless your repressed little heart, you are. Very attracted to the very fit and buff Jack. Will that portend any realistic romance, and more? Being the hopeless, optimistic fool that I am, I think it does. I have always been of the opinion that either Luann or now Bernice specifically per arc storytelling need to let this increasingly attractive (in terms of intelligence, character, even looks) young character have some idea of desire or interest; I think maybe Bernice will, and he will respond very much interested. They have to make the first move in other words. I think he likes both of them, but for some reason I think more is meant romantically between Bernice and Jack. Official change in position on my part by the way. Allâs she has to do is step out of her fear, just has she has to do with Ben. Come on Bernice, lets take some chances!!
I love this pairing a lot better than luann. Makes much more sense. However, Luann will likely go all nut case because she will feel Bernice is stealing him away from her.
I love the way Bernice is aware of her attraction to Jack and how Jack is totally clueless of it âĄ. Bernice will probably never admit it, but this athletic guy with a heart of gold drives her hormones crazy and I hope this isnât just physical attraction âĄâĄâĄ.
Gee, Bernie, could you make your crush any more obvious? Even Jack, who tends to be oblivious to most such things, is likely to notice your implication! He might even run away (despite bum knees)!
Jack likes to have fun. Bernice doesnât. Jack has wandering eyes. Bernice is the jealous type. I donât see this going anywhere particularly good if it lasts at all.
Putting Jack and Bernice together feels a bit random to me (and yes I do realize theyâve been trying to set it up, at least Berniceâs interest in Jack). I was a lot more interested in Bernice and Piro, and the way she was slowly starting to get through his quiet mystery to the person he was underneath. I wish the writers hadnât, well, written that off so abruptly.
I donât believe this is a one-way street. Jack went out and got Bernice a fish & aquarium. Thatâs something a dear old friend might do⊠but they were no more than acquaintances that day at the dog park. Especially at that age, a guy giving such a thoughtful gift to someone he just met would be a pretty strong signal of interest. If it wasnât, then it was poorly thought out considering the probability that she would take it the wrong way, and the path to hell paved with his good intentions.
I didnât want to jump to conclusions at first but looks like it was the jump off point for this potential future romance. I personally didnât see him as a good candidate for Luann but thatâs my opinion. A match for Bernice? MmmmmâŠmaybe.
You guys do realize where this is going? Luann has unresolved feelingings for Jack, Bernice knows trying to date a guy that her best friend went on even a failed date with is a girl code violation and will over think everything. Luann will figure out her crush freak out and kick her out of her parents house. Then in a year we will find out if their friendship recovers and who if anyone gets jack.
Jack is not giving off any sort of vibe that heâs interested in Bernice. One chat in the dog park after how many years of knowing him, and suddenly sheâs twitterpated? Unless she takes up sports or gets a dog, I donât see it. Bern is a bore.
Bernice is as giddy as a horny high schooler, sheâs undressing jack with her eyes. Donât be like Luann, bernice, donât hide your feelings. Tell jack what you want. Luann did the EXACT same thing with ALL the boys she has ever been interested in: she kept her thoughts, desires, and feeling from the boys while expecting them to read her mind and know what she wants without her giving any signals.

These two are SO awkward together. Jack is just being friendly, and he has no idea how neurotic Bernice is. It is uncomfortable to see them together.
