Tear Jerker / How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

Go To

  • Andie has a change of heart when she realizes she's fallen for Ben. He's unaware that he is part of her project to 'lose a guy in 10 days', and she's feeling awfully guilty about manipulating the one guy she's fallen for, especially when he comforts her.
  • It's rather painful to watch as Andie and Ben simultaneously learn about the bet and the magazine article (respectively). They both fell in love with each other, and it hurts that just as they learned the other genuinely loved them, it's undone by the bitter truth.
  • "Because you can't lose something you never had." What makes it even sadder is that she's lying to herself. She did have him, because he fell in love with her and she him. As she walks away, you can see her covering her face with her purse probably so Ben won't see her crying.
