Welcome back to the How to Get a Girlfriend podcast. I'm your host, dating coach, Conal Barrett. I'm here to help you learn to flirt, get more dates, and get a great girlfriend, all by being authentic. No sketchy pickup artist moves needed. And I have a question for you. What if you could become a chick magnet by watching chick flicks? Might sound crazy, but hear me out.
I believe that romantic comedies, for all of their over-the-top meet-cutes and grand gestures and like klutzy but adorable leads, I think they reveal a lot about what men and women want, about how to connect, about how to find love. And also, I'm just a big movie nerd, and I love movies.
So that's why you're listening to a special recurring episode of the first episode of what's called It's Rom Complicated. This is a special recurring feature right here on the How to Get a Girlfriend feed. And in this recurring series, we're going to be breaking down rom-coms to see what they get right. and also hilariously wrong about dating in real life. We're going to hand out awards.
We're going to call out the best and worst dating moves. We're going to share some fun behind the scenes trivia and tidbits. And yeah, there's going to be a few dating tips along the way. And I thought, what better day to start this than on Groundhog Day, which is when this episode drops. So today we're going to look at the movie Groundhog Day, starring Bill Murray and Andy McDowell.
It's the ultimate time loop love story where Phil Connors gets infinite do-overs in his quest to win the heart of Andy McDowell. But does he actually earn the heart of Andy McDowell? We're going to talk about that right now. And to make this episode even better, I'm bringing in a very special guest, my girlfriend Jessamyn.
Who better to do the inaugural episode of It's ROM Complicated on the How to Get a Girlfriend podcast than my girlfriend Jessamyn? So let's dive in and talk about Groundhog Day. Jessamyn, welcome back.
Thanks. Thanks for having me back.
