Well those questions Barbi, were explained in the film, the guy ran off from the blind date b/c he saw the girl looking at Mark Strong's character and realized his own insecurities (that she was more into the guy she glanced at than him, even though they connected,and his mutterings something about "she won't move but oh the second she sees a good looking guy with sunglasses and a phone etc) and decided he'd bugger off.
And the couple with a daughter, who loved each other, (I'm sure you know there are many forms of love) realized that while they loved each other, were best friends, that they weren't right for each other. They said it in the dialogue, especially her when she said that for all his qualities, for all her love she still knew he was wrong.
I liked Hardy and Sophie's characters, they were my fav funny thing about the movie too, but as a whole the movie was great, all these different people with their different stories, so mysterious all of them. So complicated, if I were you Writer, I'd give it another view and really look at the other characters involved.
But my fav character for plots was the complexity of the couple with the daughter, to be so self-aware, and understanding of each other to let the other one go and be happy was great to watch.
