* ExtremeDoormat: Ally in strictly relationship terms (though she sees it as optimism). It's shown numerous times how hard she'd try and change who she is for her partners, even going so far as [[FakeBrit faking a British accent]] for one. In the end she realizes that the man she can simply be herself with is the one that she should be with.



* InnocentSwearing: Ally shouts 'fuck' in front of a group of children, who then repeat the word in confusion. A scene or two later, they're seen running around and shouting 'fuckitty-fuck!'

Added DiffLines:

* LadykillerInLove: According to the film, Colin is basically a functioning sex addict until he meets Ally, the first woman around his age he apparently developed a deeper connection with.


Added DiffLines:

* LoveMartyr: It's shown numerous times how hard Ally would try and change who she is for her partners, even going so far as [[FakeBrit faking a British accent]] for one, often for suitors who clearly didn't deserve such effort such as Rick. In the end she realizes that the man she should be with will allow her to be herself and not have to do this.


Added DiffLines:

* NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech: After having a subtle epiphany during her toast at Daisy's wedding that not being completely herself in past relationships has caused them to not work out and subsequently breaking up with Jake, she gives one of these to her mother signalling she'll no longer chase her approval.

* BrokenAesop: After spending most of the movie building up the message that one's number wouldn't and shouldn't get in the way of finding the one, the final few seconds see [[spoiler:Ally still celebrating like mad for having not gone above 20 after all]].

Added DiffLines:

* ChekhovsSkill: A watered-down version with Ally and her clay sculptures. Hints are dropped throughout the film that she'd like to pursue it as a career but we never see said career materialize. The plot-important part of this skill is how it's viewed by the two main suitors (the more encouraging suitor of this career won out in the end).


Added DiffLines:

* FriendsRentControl: Ally's hinted to be living on savings after losing her job. Colin's case is never explained. Perhaps averted at the end if they were to move in together into Ally's apartment.


Added DiffLines:

* RichSuitorPoorSuitor: Struggling musician Colin VS Jake.
