It has been a long time...
I'm am a bit confused here. I don't really get what tense I should use after 'has been a long time'.
Are these correct? If not, why? What do they mean?
1. It has been a long time since I called you out.
2. It has been a long time since I have called you out.
3. It has been a long time since I had called you out before that dinner we had..
4. It has been a long time since I had called you out.
Thanks.

What exactyly do you mean here by "called you out"? It's not a common idiom, at least in AmE, except perhaps to mean "challenged," and I don't think that's what you intend here. Do you mean "It has been a long time since I called to ask you out?"
