Girls this nice don't exist

I myself am the same type of "child in a man's body". I'm 29 and most girls my age tell me it's not working out because I'm too immature or that I'm like a "man-child". I guess the girl in the movie was nice to him because she felt sorry for him. I think she liked him as a hug buddy, but ultimately women are drawn to alpha males as mating partners. And I don't think it's uncommon for girls to have like platonic sleepovers with a male friend.

Do you act childish or childlike? Childish behavior you should be able to turn of - and I recommend you do so :-) Childlike behavior could be a sign for the Asperger's Syndrome.

You missed the point in the end. He quits his job, drives her car all the way back to her. Crashes her party, then talks her into persuing her dream. All that was alpha male qualities and I think it helped her look at him in a different light.

Plus, you find a little insight into her, she's a lot like him, afraid to take a chance in life.

Then the end of the movie it shows him in his new apartmant. So he takes a huge step in life. They both take this step together and now have something in common.
