Throughout the story, Gigi stands out as a recurring character who continuously misinterprets her partners’ actions. However, things take a positive turn when she meets Alex, who guides her in understanding the signals from her dates.
Gigi, Conor and Alex. Gigi’s love life in Baltimore has been a rollercoaster, with her constantly misreading the romantic intentions of her dates. Take, for instance, her lukewarm date with real estate agent Conor Barry. However, things seem to take a turn when she befriends bar owner Alex, who kindly points out her tendency to misinterpret signals. As they continue to hang out, Gigi starts to see Alex’s friendly gestures as something more, only to be shut down by him and reminded of his previous advice. Moving on from their friendship, Alex eventually realizes his own feelings for Gigi. Despite leaving numerous unreturned messages, he finally musters up the courage to show up at her apartment after she returns from a successful date and confesses his love. Their exchange ends in a passionate kiss.
Janine, Ben, and Anna. Gigi’s sister and colleague, Janine Gunders, is consumed with her home renovations while her husband, Ben, takes an interest in Anna Marks, a yoga instructor and aspiring singer. They develop a flirtatious relationship under the guise of him assisting her with her singing aspirations. It is later disclosed that Ben was pressured into marrying Janine after she issued an ultimatum. He agrees to remain platonic with Anna, but she persists in her pursuit until they eventually have romantic relations.
Conor, Anna, and Mary. Anna shares a strong bond with Conor, a friend of her acquaintance Alex. Despite Anna’s preference for keeping things casual, Conor misinterprets her playful gestures as romantic interest. Mary Harris, whom Anna also considers a friend, works in advertising sales for a local gay newspaper and helps Conor with his real estate business. She, like Gigi, goes on numerous dates through online platforms and constantly checks her emails, pager, phone, and Myspace messages to no avail. Two gay men offer Conor advice on how to attract more gay clients while also sharing their thoughts on his pursuit of Anna. Taking their suggestions into consideration, Conor confesses his love for Anna.
Beth and Neil. Gigi’s colleague, Beth Murphy, shares a home with her partner Neil, who happens to be a friend of Ben’s. Despite being together for seven years, Beth has expressed her desire to tie the knot, while Neil remains against the idea of marriage. Gigi makes it clear that she will no longer misunderstand subtle hints and remarks from men who prolong the decision to wed without any intention of doing so. This prompts Beth to confront Neil about their future together, but he remains firm in his stance against marriage, resulting in their breakup. However, as preparations for her younger sister’s wedding begin, Beth is reminded of this issue when she overhears passive-aggressive comments from various relatives.
