Full Episode
When it comes to love, you just have to take a chance.
I think that we should spend some time apart.
Where'd she dump you, man? Her car. Ditched in the mallet, man. Your only mistake is that you didn't dump her first. All you got to do is find a girl who looks just like her and then dump her, man.
You guys know so much about women. How come you hear it like a gas and sip on a Saturday night? No women anywhere.
My choice, man. That's right, man.
Conscious choice. Say anything. Rated PG-13. Starts Friday at theaters everywhere. Welcome back to the How to Get a Girlfriend podcast. I'm your host, dating coach Connell Barrett. I'm the real life Hitch. If Hitch was a skinny ginger with glasses, I'm here to help you flirt with confidence, get a great girlfriend, and do it by being authentic.
And this is the second in a recurring series of episodes that I'm calling It's Rom Complicated. I believe that... A lot of really great insightful secrets to how to have a great dating life are hidden within rom-com movies.
And so every once in a while, I bring on a special guest to talk about a great rom-com movie, talk about some of the love lessons and dating lessons in the movie, and also just talk about what makes the movie great. The good, the bad, the ugly. And today I'm joined by an incredibly talented guest. She's a writer, a producer, and director in Hollywood. She makes rom-com movies.
Her name is Christina Nava. Christine has co-written movies like Divorce Bait and In Other Words. And her latest film is called Say a Little Prayer. It's a very charming rom-com. I just watched it with my girlfriend. We watched it and loved it this weekend. It's coming to Amazon Prime and Apple Plus just in time for Valentine's Day.
