#which means the Marty & Jen of the trilogy haven’t even been together a year

do you think marty is a real ladies man or was he lucky to get jennifer to go out with him?

No, I do not think Marty is a ladies' man. I think he won Jen's heart by being his sweet, clumsy, dorky self.

I actually kind of like the way it's told in the comics, with Marty going to Doc for advice on how to get Jennifer to like him. It's clear that Marty certainly doesn't think of himself as anything close to a suave ladies' man, and he asks Doc, "What's a girl like Jennifer gonna see in a guy like me?" To which they have this exchange:

I cannot tell you how much I love Marty asking, "I do cool stuff, right, Doc?" That is so Marty. He would go to Doc, all insecure and nervous, and ask, "Hey, I'm cool, right, Doc? I can be cool. I do cool things sometimes. Right?? Please say yes."

Anyway, yeah, Marty ends up ultimately winning Jennifer's heart when she runs into him at 7/11 while he's wrapped up in a game of Wild Gunman and pretending to be Clint Eastwood. Turns out she likes Clint Eastwood too, and he eventually works up the courage to ask her to a movie. It's all very sweet.

In conclusion, I think Marty spent a good long while nearly giving himself hives from the stress of trying to figure out how to get Jen to like him, and ultimately all it took was him talking to himself while playing a video game to win Jen over. Which sounds about right if you ask me.

Thanks for the ask!

#asks #back to the future #also‚ according to the comics‚ Jen & Marty start dating at the end of November of 1984 #which means the Marty & Jen of the trilogy haven’t even been together a year #and idk‚ it always seemed like they'd been together for a good deal longer #i guess because they work so well together and appear to have such a deep love for each other even at just 17?
