risqué elements add some spice and interest to a slow moving , weakly plotted drama . the rather confused scenario centers on a common theme : a worthy , but poor , girl gains love and marriage to a rich , handsome boy . the basic formula is heightened by making the heroine a hat check girl fending off aggressive men and including a murder and her lover ' s imprisonment . ginger rogers ' slangy delivery of some suggestive dialogue adds some amusement .

sally eilers was a busy actress during the early talkie period . her career slowed in the late thirties , and she only made five films between 1940 and 1950 , the last at age 42 . most of her later films were programmers .
the tcm presentation was the first showing of a new print of the film ; tcm and fox pictures are supporting film preservation of the large collection of film at moma , new york . the film had been shelved at the time the code was enforced in 1934 . the forbidden elements included bootlegging , temptations of the heroine , risqué undressing , and showing underwear .
eilers , pretty but rather dull , declined into programmers after the code enforcement and made few films after 1940 . rogers was in the midst of her first screen persona , the wisecracking girlfriend of the heroine . sidney lanfield directed many films , and he was active in television , directing episodes of the addams family and mchale ' s navy .

coffee date

whether or not you’re the “type” to kiss on a first date , it won’t be happening after the coffee date .
provided your date isn’t at 7 am when you actually need the coffee , chances are , your afternoon coffee date is just providing an unnecessary caffeine buzz .

generation - y : we are the millennials , the hook - up generation and , most recently , the coffee date generation .
with this inevitable too - soon ending , the coffee date won’t give you the time to really get into the good stuff of a first date : the life stories , the experiences and the passions .
queer cinema in this country is suffering and coffee date is further confirmation that gay men in los angeles have way too much money to throw around .

there are very few people in this world who will risk the caffeine jitters and hyperactive talking that comes from ordering a second coffee just to prolong a date .
while some netizens found the gesture of renting a billboard to invite the actress for a coffee date romantic , others considered the move to be creepy and manipulative .

unless you’re both getting some sort of passive coffee drink with more milk than actual coffee , your breath will spew the remnants of your caffeine fix .
a 30 - minute date over a cup of joe isn’t taking our time . if you try to tell me you don’t have the time for more than a simple coffee date , you certainly don’t have the time to take this relationship to the next level .
i , like many girls i know , am done wasting time trying to figure out whether our coffee meet - up or “study sesh” was considered a date or not .
the majority of our generation favors casual hangouts and hookups rather than actual dating , but the coffee date blurs the line between what is
real
and what is casual .
i absolutely love these posts . i would enjoy nothing more than a coffee date with you ! cheer to a busy , yet exhausting , summer . the memories last forever 🙂
when i brought up the great “coffee date debate” with the boyfriend , it quickly devolved into an argument that is still being brought up whenever we’re out with friends . his point was that walking up to someone and bluntly asking them on a date it too forward and intimidating .
over the internet todd arranges to meet a blind date named kelly at a locale coffee house . when kelly turns out to be another guy things do not turn out as either expected .
i suppose having a guaranteed out within 20 - 30 minutes is a pro if the date goes badly , but if i’m going on a date in the first place , i’m hoping it’ll turn out well .
a place for inspiring , original stories about community , innovation and all things coffee .
chocolate , i can get behind . coffee , i can ( always ) get behind . but asking someone , “hey , want to grab a coffee ? ” , instead of asking if they would like to go on a date sometime ? that’s where things get a little sticky .
coffee is another low - risk , low - stakes option , but a coffee date doesn ' t have the same potentially sleazy connotations as a bar date - - it ' s daytime and you ' ll be in a brightly - lit cafe surrounded by millennials typing away on their macbooks and brunching groups of friends . like meeting in a bar , it ' s inexpensive - - which is a plus for you but , again , may come across as slightly half - hearted - - and it ' s also easy to escape a coffee date if you aren ' t feeling as positively about your date as you expected to ; it doesn ' t take a huge amount of time to down a coffee and then make an excuse about having something else to jet off to .
“let’s grab a coffee on monday” via text message is easily the most nonchalant way to ask someone out . it ' s to the point i’m not even sure if this is a real date .
if they get rejected , they can simply use the cop - out that it was never actually a date .
unlike alcohol , coffee is not a social lubricant . the side effects of caffeine ( increased heartbeat , faster talking , restlessness , etc . ) are the last thing you need when you’re already nervous for a date .
with the elusive coffee date , however , this is not the case . in no way am i expecting a multi - course dinner at a five - star restaurant followed by a helicopter ride , but for a first date , i am hoping for a place that offers something a bit more than donuts , free wifi and 24 - hour service .
the main problem with a coffee date is that it ' s not very romantic , or even especially date - like : meeting for a coffee is an activity so innocuous that you can do it with friends , co - workers and distant family members alike , so the trick here will be making it clear that you are on date . you will be able to achieve this through the conversation , but it also pays to pick an upscale coffee shop rather than a franchise like starbucks , and if you ' re enjoying her company , you could invite her for a walk to the nearest ice - cream shop to prolong your time together and indicate that you ' re interested .
coffee date has lots going on , and its message - - there are all kinds of love - is an earnest one . but the script relies too heavily on stock characters and overused plot devices to make any real impact .
if we ' re on this date , it means i ' m at least slightly interested in you . i want to look good for our date , and i don’t want to stick out like a sore thumb next to a plethora of people in sweats .
just how i like my coffee . . . sweet , hot and just a little nutty . . .
i was having a discussion with my boyfriend the other week , and he seemed to think that anytime you got asked to coffee with someone you didn’t already know , it was a date– like an actual date , where someone picks you up at a certain time and stammers for an awkward compliment . ( so apparently we’d been on at least three dates i was unaware of ) .
this was how katie described our first date venue – an ‘independent coffee shop’ . it sounded like something from an insipid travelogue . i wanted to roil in a cauldron of romance , instead i going to paddle in the tepid waters of sober dating .
at least with dinner or some other date - like activity , both parties are ( usually ) fully aware of what the outing entails .

i ' d like to vote for the workers cafe in morning lane hackney it is a true innovation providing a space for workers who want a privatespace away from home sometimes , with coffee and snacks through the day , and a wine bar in the evening . a small coffee shop adjacent to it provides simple fare for visitors to eat with tea and coffee to drinking vote for that .
i took a long sip , trying to think of some kind of coffee - related anecdote . there was something troublesome about this coffee shop date – for starters it was all far too real , bound to the world of the mundane . what were coffee shops for , exactly ? perhaps a quick break with a friend , a solitary read of the papers , or the occasional bit of work . but not dating . never dating . this was no place for love . it was reality - plus . a place of earnest discourse and brainless tablet use .
fifteen minutes later i knew i was wrong . it wasn’t the crowded , muggy coffee shop so much as the fact that katie deemed the place a suitable setting for a date . i was crushingly sober , and likely to stay that way . who wants to date in a coffee shop anyway ? ‘best flat whites in london’ or no , i was having a bad time . needless to say , the decor was part of the problem . it was all worn fittings , and victorian boarding school crustiness . the whole concept of ‘shabby chic’ fell apart sometime in 2013 . now , it was just shabby .
awesome post ! ! i enjoyed the coffee talk so much . i really hope you and your family enjoy your time off for vacation .
regardless what the public would say . at least kapag binalikan ang philippine history diba eh she ' s the very first filipina to received a coffee date proposal via a fuckin badass billboard . honest to goodness , i ' m not expecting her to say yes ,
he said in a separate post .
hooking up is fine , but if you’re into someone , do her a favor and take her on a real date . this way , there will be no overanalyzing what your intention is .
i don’t know about you , but ideally , i’d like our first kiss to taste of virtually anything other than burnt tongue and the horrific aftertaste of coffee .
at a time when dates are few and far between , i would usually say any date is better than “i ' ll meet you at the bar , ” which many of us know too well .
if they manage to lock down the date , it ' s a very straightforward thing to plan . if it goes badly , they can know , rest assured , no effort or resources were wasted .
before being spotted on a
very intimate and touchy
date night at giorgio baldi in l . a . days ago , we reported the pair jetted off to london for a quick summer getaway .
if you check in with your local 20 - something , “getting coffee” has become a euphemism for hooking up . ( as your resident middle - aged - woman - at - heart , i have recently learned this . ) going for coffee is the new grabbing after dinner drinks , and anything other than informality is considered “extra . ”
furthermore , a ( sober ) first kiss is awkward enough without it being along a line of people waiting at the bus top outside the coffee shop in pure daylight .
asking someone out to coffee is just an easy way to ask someone out without really asking someone out . for the people doing the asking , there is virtually nothing to lose .
from the beginning , starbucks set out to be a different kind of company . one that not only celebrated coffee and the rich tradition , but that also brought a feeling of connection .
they say it ' s first time in philippine history . i say : that ' s how special you are to me . @ erichgg , will you drink coffee with me ? # pleasesayyeserich # coffeewitherich
“they say it’s first time in philippine history . i say : that’s how special you are to me . @ erichgg , will you drink coffee with me ? ” he wrote on his instagram account .
now less than a week after e ! news learned the a - list movie star had started dating the saturday night live producer , the couple was photographed monday in los angeles on a starbucks coffee run .
on the flip side of that , the first time he and i hung out , he did ask me out for dinner on a date . and since i was so stuck in my mindset of “just wanting to have some fun , ” i said no . so we kept getting coffee , and eventually , he won me over with his sharp sense of humour and brilliant conversations and that stupid , charming grin . so here we are over a year later .
although coffee date got a little too weird for me it does have a definite amusement value . i ' m so jealous of jonathan bray because i have a brother and he never fixed me up with wilson cruz whom i actually met many years ago . jonathan silverman who is bray ' s brother fixes up bray with a computer date whom he has to meet in one of those starbucks type coffee houses . it ' s with someone named kelly . expecting a woman kelly turns out to be wilson cruz . bray then spends the rest of the film first denying he ' s gay and then trying it on for size . before the film is over a whole lot of people wind up doing a lot of soul searching and genders are bent to a considerable degree . i won ' t say more , but it gets too weird and coincidental for me . but with wilson cruz ' s presence , that ' s always a plus sign .
the environments of starbucks and other quirky coffee shops are made to be casual . they are supposed to encourage studying and “hanging out , ” rather than nervous and excited conversations by first daters trying to look desirable .
we make sure everything we do is through the lens of humanity – from our commitment to the highest quality coffee in the world , to the way we engage with our customers and communities to do business responsibly .
we count our second date as the first time we got together . the first time , we met for coffee ( although , ironically , neither of us drink coffee ) and chatted for a few hours . i didn ' t know if he was interested or not , but then he called me the next day to ask me out for valentine ' s day . he told me that he felt like he had known me for 6 months , and i felt the same . i found out that he had only been on cmb for three days when he met me , while i had been on it for about 5 months . just be patient ! it ' s honestly all about the right timing .
keep it simple . don ' t order a half - caf double mocha soy latte , etc . , even though that ' s your
usual .
you don ' t want the interviewer to think that you are high - maintenance . order a small , plain coffee or tea ( decaf is ok ) . skip anything with a foamy top because a milk mustache is not the way to favorably impress a prospective employer . another benefit is that plain coffee or tea don ' t require prep time and can be immediately collected at the counter . you want to get started with your interview without delay or interruption . remember that this meeting is about the conversation , not the coffee .
in 1983 , howard traveled to italy and became captivated with italian coffee bars and the romance of the coffee experience . he had a vision to bring the italian coffeehouse tradition back to the united states . a place for conversation and a sense of community . a third place between work and home . he left starbucks for a short period of time to start his own il giornale coffeehouses and returned in august 1987 to purchase starbucks with the help of local investors .
then i’d glance down at my watch and notice that i have spent way too much time talking about myself—yet again . i’m just the worst . can we make a date to get back together when i get back from vacation ? i promise to talk less about myself . love you !
some netizens speculated that the bachelor was only using the actress for fame and for his business . in his facebook post last june , he claimed he used to own a civet coffee plantation in davao which he allegedly sold to gungxiqian group .
every day , we go to work hoping to do two things : share great coffee with our friends and help make the world a little better . it was true when the first starbucks opened in 1971 , and it’s just as true today .
if your job search is confidential , you ' ll want to avoid the favorite coffee hangout for others from your office . it ' s best to avoid the early morning rush , so aim for mid - morning or mid - afternoon if possible .
be sensitive to the interviewer ' s time constraints , and look for signals that it ' s time to wrap it up . if the conversation had been interrupted or strained because of noisy distractions , it ' s especially important that you summarize the most important points . take notes during the meeting or immediately thereafter . if there is a point you were trying to make , but are concerned you did not complete it due to the circumstances , mention it in your follow up thank you letter . and , yes , a thank you note is appropriate after your coffee
date .
this film is so nearly there . there are more than one or two genuinely heart rending moments in it . there are several characters of almost three dimensions . a little more work and it could have been all the things it almost is - subtle , touching and funny . it ' s just slightly amateur . not much , but enough to take the edge off what it could have been . tla releasing seem to put out a fair number of movies a bit like this . sweet tales of modern gay life . gay movies you want to love , that sometimes bring a tear ( just the one ) to the eye and have you laughing ( a couple of times ) , but that don ' t quite cut deep enough to make them memorable or watchable twice . this coffee - date does have charm and looks , but he lacks substantial charisma . ( there is also a technical problem with coffee date ; the sound mixing is all over the place . one minute the background is high and the dialogue low , then an angle changes and it ' s all different again . this is a pretty basic requirement these days , decent sound design and mixing ) .
there seems to be a nice niche market going for high production value gay themed comedy scripts , which also manage to attract one or two relatively known / good named actors .
coffee date
definitely fits this genre , and we are treated to wilson cruz playing his
butch
but vulnerable character . however , the script is also high on camp ( almost mandatory ) and not a lot of substance or thought - provoking value , since we really have to suspend our disbelief on a few occasions here . there is also a tendency for at least one
over the top
actor ( the
karen
of the group if you will ) in this case played by the protagonist ' s mother . but it ' s a
fun
, so if you ' re looking for some brain - candy for a date or just a movie - night with gay friends , this should do it .
in this comedy of errors , a practical joke sends straight man , todd on a blind date with gay man , kelly . the two strike up an unexpected friendship , and todd’s life soon spins out of control . everyone believes he’s gay and nothing he says or does can convince them otherwise . even todd begins questioning his sexuality .
we’re in this place where the “winner” is the person who cares less – because apparently , human interaction is now something you can win . we don’t go on dates and discuss our dreams , we chat about our aesthetic over coffee and list our achievements like a walking resume .
we were on our third macchiato when i realised i had run dry . it seemed alcohol gave me my best lines on a date – booze made me my best me . caffeine , on the other hand , sucked the very marrow from my bones . my funny bones . i was as dry as a private school prefect and twice as uptight .
coffee with d is a hilarious escapade where india ' s leading journalist arnab and his team manage to interview the most dreaded don , d ! so sit back , but don ' t relax because india ' s most loved news reporter is going against the world ' s most wanted don .
we’re not just passionate purveyors of coffee , but everything else that goes with a full and rewarding coffeehouse experience . we also offer a selection of premium teas , fine pastries and other delectable treats to please the taste buds . and the music you hear in store is chosen for its artistry and appeal .
this film will not be too much of an attraction to a straight guy ( because i have no idea how their mind works ) but it sure captured my attention from the very first scene until the end . there may be a few occasions that are too good to be true or unrealistically light - weight along the way but overall it will surely capture you too if you are gay or into gay films . there is one particular thing that makes this film stand out is the ending or shall i say ' the closure ' . it does not end the way a conventional gay film ends and which makes it more appealing .
coffee date
really made my day .
back then , the company was a single store in seattle’s historic pike place market . from just a narrow storefront , starbucks offered some of the world’s finest fresh - roasted whole bean coffees . the name , inspired by moby dick , evoked the romance of the high seas and the seafaring tradition of the early coffee traders .
dressed in a black mini - dress and chic white sneakers , lindsay braved the heat with an iced coffee in hand . she completed her look with a pair of sunglasses perched atop her platinum blond ' do and multiple silver bangles . meanwhile , affleck kept it casual in a black t - shirt and dark jeans while sipping on a juice .
like the dating scene , the job interview process may start with a rendezvous for coffee at a local cafe . although the meeting is held in an informal setting , don ' t forget that the rules of interviewing apply . you still must prepare , dress appropriately and sell yourself . presenting your case in a public place presents some challenges , however .
i just loved
coffee date
, it makes me what to grab a cup , just kidding . its nice to see that an independent feature can look great , be well acted and be enjoyable to watch . child star wilson cruz makes a great transition from awkward teenager to sexy leading man with actress elaine hendrix as the surprise favorite
hag
to wilson ' s character . stewart wade has the touch on romantic comedy . he creates character ' s that i feel like i know . however , my favorite gem in the movie is jason stuart . who starts out as the
office gossip
makes the transition as the dependable shoulder to
lean on
and the voice of reason in the film . it really showcases his talent as the go to character actor .
i do get it , the word “date” can be intimidating . maybe you aren’t looking for anything serious at the moment and just want to have a good time– there is nothing wrong with that . the idea of dating comes with implications of commitment and pressure , and why deal with the sweaty palms when you could just text someone to “hangout” . no pressure , no commitment and no obligations to anyone . there’s no need for a messy
we chatted for a month before i was free to go on a date . we ended up spending 8 hours together ! it was like we had known each other forever . we dated for 9 months , got engaged , and 10 months later we ' re married ! in the first month of our marriage , the military moved us to a new city where we bought a house and are now expecting our first child !
hi darls ! ! ! : ) how are you ? hahaha ! ! ! ang cute ng effort ni kuya . it ' s fine . let ' s see when i get back . there ' s nothing wrong naman if we talk over coffee , pero dapat kasama ka . hahaha ! ! ! see you soon darls !
erich ' s text message to darla said .
but i could not elaborate . a passing bearded youth bumped me with his man - bag . the french couple next to us started laughing . katie looked into her phone . i looked into the street , wondering how to steer us towards a pub . it hit me right then . no one ever found the love of their life in a coffee shop . and i was to be no exception .
i’d order an arnold palmer , because it’s july and 2934982349283° outside right now . i love coffee , but i don’t want anything to do with that—even cold brew—in this kind of heat . gimme something refreshing , yo ! we’d then sit down , and you’d ask me how my summer has been . i’d probably do a smile / sigh combo , because it’s been amazing and celebratory and awesome—but also super exhausting .
the coffee shop was typically hard to find . i was spectacularly lost . even google maps set out to confound me . after wrong turns , and right turns , i ended up back where i started : outside hoxton station . it was a land of hollow feeling and manly leggings . how i hated east london . i felt conspicuously old , and ( in my smart - casual outfit ) chronically overdressed .
maybe vagueness is a crutch , something to save you from the horrors of having to actually decide what you want . maybe it will give you enough time to let someone fall for you . but the idea that dating is dead is a little too sad to sit with . i may hide my inner romantic behind sarcasm and snark , but for “talking” and “hanging out” to replace first date jitters and grand gestures leaves an acidic taste in my mouth , and not just because of a pretentiously bitter cappuccino .
taylor swift and her new man , british actor joe alwyn , have certainly caught some attention this weekend—the new couple had all eyes on them when they were photographed sipping on coffee and chatting on a balcony on saturday in nashville , tenn . these are some of the first photographs of the twosome to surface since news broke last month that tay had ditched her single - gal card and picked up a new flame .
in the pic , taylor donned a loose - fitting fuchsia dress and appears at ease sipping coffee , talking and laughing with her rumored man , who inquiring minds are dying to know everything about . her actor beau kept it cool , rocking a t - shirt and jeans for joe ' s morning cup of joe . the two were spending time together in the southern city , which is the singer ' s hometown .
coffee houses are ubiquitous these days , and in some office locales there are several of the same franchise , so you must be absolutely clear as to which of the numerous mega - chains ' outlets is your designated meeting spot . keep your cell phone with you and trade numbers beforehand in case you and your interviewer are having trouble meeting up ( don ' t forget to turn off the ringer once you both arrive ) .
verdict : an interesting plot that could have been so much more . vishal mishra ' s latest outing coffee with d , starring sunil grover , zakir hussain , rajesh sharma , dipannita sharma and pankaj tripathi , is a film that is a satire supposed to mock the state of news channels . arnab ` ` mr . angry pants ` ` ghosh ( sunil grover ) , is a table - thumping [ ] . . .
there’s no need for a messy breakup because you were only “talking” and you don’t owe them anything . but after a while , shallow relationships get old , and loaded conversations become exhausting . perhaps it’s a matter of maturity , but ambiguity isn’t sexy when you know what you want . the thrill of the chase is all well and good , until you realise you’ve been “getting coffee” with someone for months without any idea of what it is you’re doing .
each day at noon , guys will receive up to 21 quality matches – known as “bagels” . they are given the option to either like or pass . then , coffee meets bagel will curate the best potential matches for women among the men who expressed interest . women will choose who gets to talk to them among quality men who already liked them . that’s right . no more guessing games ! # ladieschoice meet more of your fellow
bagels
here !
we started coffee meets bagel in 2012 because we wanted to inspire singles to feel good about dating again . over the last 4 years , we came to realize that men and women have very different styles of dating and that the best dating experience for everyone is offered through a differentiated service for men and women . hence the new way of servicing # ladieschoice was born . singles , especially single women , are becoming exhausted with the direction mobile dating is headed today . dating has become an endless swipe of photos - - a place for ghosting and being ghosted . to us , that isn ' t really dating , that ' s a huge waste of time . with # ladieschoice , we are giving women more control of their dating experience . we are enabling them to re - focus their time and energy on men who are serious about taking the next step . we are hoping to inspire all singles around the world to feel good about dating again . welcome to coffee meets bagel !
oh my gosh , how did you know that a target gift card is exactly what i wanted ? like , i literally asked for them for my birthday—not because i wanted to buy something specific , but because i wanted to be able to go to target by myself , get a coffee ( or tea , depending on how blasted hot it is ) , and browse and buy things that i think are fun without an ounce of guilt . best . birthday . gift . ever . thank you !
only i didn’t ‘say’ , i typed . i have reached maximum dating disconnect . at this point in my journey ( yes , journey . think of me as a dating journeyman ) my pre - date communication is strictly online . i am not alone in this , of course . we swipe until we like . that’s how we play . there is no longer a requirement to speak before meeting in the 3d world . and of course there is no need to refer to that place as the ‘real’ world either . the internet is threaded into our very being , and that world is just as real as everything we see around us .
we met a recently divorced straight guy named todd and gets hooked up from his brother to this wonderful gay guy named kelly . when the two of them first met , i honestly thought todd was into kelly by denying that he is gay . so todd decides to prank his brother to let him know his date went well . the next morning , his proud mother is proud of him to becoming gay along with his co - workers . things have gone out of control so todd and kelly make love . however the next day , todd was late for work and for days didn ' t call kelly whom i felt sorry for because i know how it feels to not hear from someone you really know for days ! anyways so we cut to the end , todd invites kelly one last time for a coffee . the only disappointment there was they didn ' t kiss or give us audience hints of what they will do next for themselves when the film ended . its a good movie but if you ' re the type that likes happy endings ( like me ) then i wouldn ' t see this movie unless you want to see the few kissing scenes ! haha
coffee spots can be very noisy , especially with the cappuccino machine going , piped - in music and baristas calling out customers ' names as drinks are ready . get there early enough to nab a table as far from the counter as possible and away from major traffic patterns . try to avoid noisy patrons , young children and dogs . go for the most quiet and private location you can find . choose a table where you can sit directly opposite your interviewer rather than a couch where it is more difficult to make eye contact .
we just dove right into it [ dating ] ! our third date extended into a weekend trip to nyc together and we just stopped counting after that ! due to major summer and career plans , we knew we were about to be separated for a while . so we just moved really fast ! he booked tickets to come with me to visit [ my ] family in ghana after dating for just 2 weeks ! we knew were doing crazy / impulsive things but we were excited that things were so intense and wanted to give this a real shot ! we just passed the 1 . 5 year mark ! it ' s amazing how time flies .
a little over 2 years ago , i joined cmb on a whim . i was fed up with the la dating scene and thought to myself , what do i have to lose ? ! well , 2 years later i can now say…i lost nothing , but i gained everything . out of the matches i received from march to april 2013 , i only clicked
like
twice and matched with both . however , i only took one of them up on the offer to going on a date . two years later i am still with this amazing man . we moved to austin , texas together in august of 2014 , and we are now engaged and living together !
carrying on any conversation over the din of a busy coffee house is difficult at best . it ' s even more trying when the subject being discussed is private and key to your career success . do your best to tune out the background noise and focus on what your interviewer is saying . sometimes you may have to resort to reading lips , but don ' t be afraid to ask the interviewer to repeat a question . you want to be absolutely sure you are answering appropriately . repeat yourself as often as necessary to ensure that you have been completely heard and understood .
if you and i were to sit down to coffee today , i’d start off by apologizing . i’m sorry i’ve been so m . i . a . lately . it’s not that i don’t like you ( i do , you’re super awesomesauce ) , it’s that i like my family even more . i’ve been so focused on lifting them up and keeping them sacred that i’ve kinda neglected my friends a little bit . i’ve also just been enjoying the heck out of this summer and loving this crazy career of mine . but , i heard you . i really did . and , i’m all yours for the next few minutes .
i watched this movie twice off the bat . it was so interesting about a blind date between a openly gay man with a straight man . it ' s almost a romance movie , however , the main character continues to be straight and all his family and co - workers believe him to be gay . it ' s a story about deep friendship between two people have different sexual preferences , although the straight guy begins to have second thoughts about his heterosexuality . the two have a lot in common and begin to go out together as friends , which is mistaken as a relationship and the story just goes wild from there . it ' s a very good movie sure to entertain . it ' s a strange movie for a gay man like me to watch because i never heard the words ,
i ' m straight
so much in a gay themed movie . however , it ' s bound to charm you . i hope and think you will enjoy it as much as i did .

you can argue that everything you need to know about someone’s intentions can be gathered from context clues and insinuations ; a good bit of it probably can . but that can lead to a web of second - guessing and misunderstandings and somebody ending up with a wrong impression . i have a close friend who’s been seeing a new guy for a while , and still has no idea whether he’s into her or the sex .
in the great ‘casualing down’ of culture , asking someone what exactly it is you’re doing here is considered a reason to run . going to someone’s house on your period to see if they still want to hang out if you’re not down to hook up that particular day is a safer option than open communication , but should getting to know someone new be reminiscent of a school research project ? and this goes both ways .
so many guys nowadays complain of crazy girls , but maybe she’s “friendzoning” you because she has no idea that you’re interested ? maybe she’s not clingy , she was just under the impression you wanted something more . when did implied become the new direct ?
in his own words , “formality isn’t sexy , ambiguity is . you need the mystery to keep her thinking about you and wondering about what’s happening between the two of you . ”
which is ironic , because i honestly can’t ever remember one of my girlfriends complaining about a guy being super clear about his intentions , wishing he’d be more ambiguous , or not wanting to know where she stands with someone .
keep your perfectly distressed footwear and ironic beards , but don’t put down romance along with your razor . be uncoolly giddy , fall madly in love , and don’t ever let anyone blame you for putting yourself out there , aesthetic be damned . i’ll take a moment of bravery and some basic communication skills with a latte to go , thanks .

the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
movies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide - release movies , 40 for limited - release movies , 20 for tv shows ) , including 5 reviews from top critics .
straight - man todd ' s life is spinning out of control when he unexpectedly strikes - up a friendship with a gay man , kelly . their friendship soon has his brother , mother and his co - workers believing that todd now is gay . he begins to wonder , do they know something he doesn ' t ?
a warmhearted tale carried by genuine affection and a charming cast rather than cutting one - liners and turbo - charged plotting .
it ' s so full of bland good will , the story goes nowhere in romantic - comedy terms .
this bittersweet indie ' s greatest asset is that stars [ jonathan ] bray and [ wilson ] cruz have both real chemistry and a real problem - - as opposed to a series of trumped - up plot machinations - - standing in the way of romance .
while the acting occasionally stoops to horrid , even worse is that the characters themselves can be aggravatingly insipid , strutting the most tired of gay - phobic jokes .
i saw this at the cleveland international film festival too . it was very funny . the joke that the guy is not gay but all his family and coworkers think he is , could have gotten old fast . it did bother me at first that no matter how many times he says he is not gay , his mother doesn ' t really listen . but because the characterizations were written so well , it actually works that every time the main guy tries to explain away the misunderstanding everyone else doesn ' t really hear him .
