Jacob didn't really have any girlfriends, his old friends would frequently ask him to go on a date with some girl. Well they weren't actually dates since they didn't hug or kiss or any of that he just hanged around with some girls. He usually kept the stay away from me demeanor, he didn't know how Elliot got through that demeanor and saw the real him which he was grateful for now. Since he loved her with all of his heart.
