Jamie discusses her last date with a self-proclaimed “ass man” and Amy creates an online dating profile.
Synopsis: MISSED CONNECTION follows Jamie Nichols, the awkward and slightly desperate girl you took to dinner and a movie, and then dumped on the front stoop of her Brooklyn apartment. She’d love to be in a normal romantic relationship, but as her best friend Bek says, “she’s a weirdo magnet.” When Thomas Riley, an equally awkward and strange guy moves in next door, she finds herself scared of actually making a meaningful connection with another human being for the first time.
Jamie is smarter than the average bear, but not when it comes to love. She is cute, quirky, maybe a little oblivious sometimes, and above all, really, really lonely.
Thomas seems normal on the outside, but is hiding something very nerdy from the rest of the world. He is charmingly all-American and thoughtful, but a little nervous around most people.
Bek is the biggest goofball you’ve ever met. He works out of his home office, which doubles as his bathroom. He is sweet, a little judgmental, and fun to be around.
