...except I didn't see Bob as going "I've got time..." as him being laid back and not thinking.
I saw him as going "I've got time..." so he could get as much do-gooding in before the wedding as super-humanly possible. And so did Elasti-Girl. She pointed out to him before they kissed that he would have to be more than Mr. Incredible if their marriage was going to work.
It was a focal point of the movie. After the events that caused them all to have to go underground, Bob was still struggling with the urge to be a hero so much that his boss rubbing his nose in his inability to run off and hero at will caused him to blow his top.
Versus Elasti-Girl's attitude pre-lawsuit of "let the guys do all the heroing? I don't think so" and post-lawsuit of insisting the family stick to their "protected identities" and trying to make the best of not using their powers except in the house, even though it was driving her kids nuts.
And yes, Buddy picked that hottie Mirage, so he did have his heterosexuality on just fine.
