24!!Love That Squid contains examples of:
25* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Squidward prepares for his date by spending the episode practicing being a polite, patient gentleman, only to finally snap and [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech unleash a torrent of outrage]] on [=SpongeBob=]. When he realizes Squilvia witnessed the whole thing, he assumes she doesn't want anything to do with him anymore. Instead, she finds his outburst "dreamy."
26* AnAesop: When you want to impress a crush, BeYourself, especially if you're naturally not the most friendly guy in the block because [[Creator/BillHicks chicks dig jerks]].

35* GrossUpCloseUp:
36** Of Squilvia when Squidward compliments her looks.
37** [=SpongeBob=] showing off his hand because he didn’t tip enough for his manicure. Said hand is really boney, naturally creeping out Squidward.
38* ImMelting: Happens to Squidward when he sees Squilvia for the first time, just after getting CirclingBirdies as mentioned above.

42* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Squidward unleashes one at [=SpongeBob=] after his practice date goes wrong, which Squilvia witnesses.
43-->'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' As I was saying, I'd like to go over just a few more crucial aspects of the first date, such as --\
44'''Squidward:''' ''[grabs [=SpongeBob=]'s mouth]'' '''SPONGEBOB!''' Would you please just shut it and leave me alone?!\
45'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' Um, Squidward --\
46'''Squidward:''' Don't "um, Squidward" me, you, you annoying, insignificant, waste of my time!\
47'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' Um, Squidward -- !\
48'''Squidward:''' ''Don't interrupt me!!'' And don't call me, look at me, write me, or even think of me! Because you and I, we are NOT FRIENDS!!! And never ''will'' be!\
49'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' Does this mean there won't be a second date?
50* RightBehindMe: When Squidward finally snaps at [=SpongeBob=], it turns out Squilvia was right behind him having witnessed the whole thing and he expects her to be turned off by his behavior. It turns out that Squilvia appreciates a man who "doesn't suffer fools".
51* StaircaseTumble: When Squidward realizes his date is in five minutes, he leaves in a haste. [=SpongeBob=] tries to stop him because there's still some dating tactics he hasn't went through yet, but ends up tripping on his shoe and tumbling down the stairs, bumping into Squidward who tumbles out the door with him. Said tumble ends up stripping [=SpongeBob=] of his disguise, revealing his true identity followed by Squidward [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech chewing him out.]]
52* ThrowTheDogABone: Squidward manages to win Squilvia's heart just by [[BeYourself being himself]].
53* TheUnreveal: The episode ends with Squidward and Squilvia about to go on their first date, but we never get to see their date.
