He's Just Not That into You

Welcome to a new recommendation, again we offer a comedy with love stories. Nine people in Baltimore deal with their respective romantic problems, usually thwarted by the differing ideals and desires of their chosen partner.

Gigi is a single woman who repeatedly misreads mundane actions and comments from her dates as indications that they are romantically interested in her, and frets when the guy does not call her.

In attempting to meet Conor Barry, a real estate agent, at a bar, she befriends the bar owner Alex, who reveals the strategies men use to avoid a woman. He explains that if a man is interested in a woman, he will overcome any obstacles to ensure they date again, that the "rule" is that unanswered phone calls and similar behaviors mean that he is not interested, with few exceptions, and that Gigi has been misinterpreting and obsessing over imagined "signs" that she receives.

Gigi's friend and co-worker, Janine Gunders, is having difficulties in her marriage to Ben. As Janine obsesses on their home renovations, Ben becomes attracted to Anna Marks, a yoga instructor and aspiring singer, and she requites his affection for her. Ben and Anna pursue a flirtatious friendship under the pretense of him helping her establish a singing career. 

Gigi's other co-worker, Beth Murphy, is living with her boyfriend, Neil, who is also friends with Ben. After seven years of dating, Beth wants to get married, but Neil does not believe in marriage. With Gigi's newfound pragmatic stance on relationships after advice from Alex, she announces she will no longer misinterpret vague gestures from men as more than they really are. This spurs Beth to confront Neil about their relationship. When he still doesn't want to get married, she breaks up with him.

I hope this movie pleases you, if you like it, recommend it to more people, enjoy your weekend.
