      [I've been thinking that the time we have to be single, is really the time we have to get good at being alone]

      [But, how good at being alone do we really want to be?]

      [Isn't there a danger that you'll get so good at being single, so set in your ways, that you'll miss out on the chance to be with somebody great?]

    Solid message
    Not your typical romcom. This film actually explores what dating life is like for different people and has a pretty good message.
