Interestingly, many opposite sex do find the melancholy very attractive because of their well-organized nature and for their intellectual capability. Regardless of that, they do have little intentional dating experience because they are thoughtful, suspicious, skeptical, analytical, and a perfectionist by nature, which often makes them indecisive about major life’s decisions, including being involved with an opposite sex.
However, once they are involved with someone, they are often very dedicated, committed and selfless, just as Jacob served another seven years to have Rebecca and that seems like just a few days to him.
