Ben Affleck definitely seems to be feeling shy about getting back out there after his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, but his latest film role has taught him a thing or two about dating.

The actor revealed in a press junket for The Accountant 2 that he relates to his character’s struggles to play it cool in the dating world. “Here’s a guy who’s trying to figure out — he wants to have a relationship with a woman, he’s trying to figure out how to do that, like, how to put yourself out there,” Affleck told Page Six.
