    What’s the inciting incident that starts this story? Who is Ciara? We don’t need a name… it doesn’t add anything to the story. Instead tell us who she is – character and characteristic. What is she trying to achieve – what is her visual goal?

    I like the inciting incident.? It’s a great metaphor for the sexual tension? — in his mind, anyway.

    However, having him to overtly seduce her is oafish, tacky — just plain dumb even for a comedy.? ?Especially in the #MeToo era.? He has a fatal character of not being able to? treat her as anything more than sex object.? ?He deserves for her to slap? him in the face and storm away.? So it seems to me a more acceptable objective goal would be for him to a date in a manner where she doesn’t laugh in his face and walk away.? Treat her like a lady.

    And rather than describe her as being a snob, describe her as being classy — he’s trying to date outside his league, above his place in the prevailing social order.? Which in this version of the logline, he most surely is.

    fwiw
