Can someone please tell me why Jack did not have any feelings for Lana?I could never understand why Jack kept running away from Lana? Yeah I know she was an older woman then Jack,but so what.

Fatal repulsion, I guess. One of those things that he did despite himself. Besides, she wanted him far too much....

Yeah, it's all very dissatisfying, but ever so true to life!

I think Jack liked her, obviously not half as much as Lana liked Jack, but he was so used to being the chaser. Lana was always hitting on Jack and I don't want to say it scared him or anything, but to some guys, it's a huge turnoff.

Another thing which I never really thought about, is that if Jack had dated Lana, he might have gotten thrown out of the apt. since Furley was always chasing after Lana and Jack was supposed to be 'gay' so maybe he was afraid Furley would find out.

I wonder what became of Lana? The last episode she appeared in was A Black Letter Day.She dumped her drink on Jack and ran off and never was scene again.

She was way too pushy, clingy and desperate. That's why Jack didn't like her.

Jack liked being the persuer. With Lana, she was the aggressive one.

Eeeuuuwww...because she was icky and whiny and desperate and...eeeuuuwww...icky.

I didn't like that character so much, too annoying and I think Jack found her annoying too.

I agree. She really annoyed me too, LOL. I think she was just too aggressive for Jack.

The real reason was because she wasn't that much younger than Mrs. Roper and we no Jack wasn't ito Women that much older than him

Exactly. And besides, if she was like that with Jack without ever having had him, can you imagine what it would be like for Jack if he had sex with her once? She'd be all in love and her clinginess and desperation would be worse.

FATAL ATTRACTION.

I dont think Jack had a problem dating an older woman as he did got out with an older woman in season 3 in the episode The Older Woman.Of course that woman was alot nicer then Lana,and she was not trying to get Jack in bed.

Yeah, I was trying to remember, I knew there was an episode where he dated an older woman. So, it can't be the "older woman" excuse for Jack. He just preferred a particular type of woman and Lana being desperate and clingy was just a turn-off as Monika stated on her post.
