Line 45:
Nancy is 34 years old and has been single for four years. She holds a pessimistic view on love, but her sister hopes that Nancy can find love and encourages her to "put herself out there." Nancy has an awkward blind date at her friend's engagement party.
 
Nancy takes the train to London to attend her parents' 40th anniversary celebration. On the train, Nancy sits across from Jessica, a bubbly 24-year-old woman who is going on a blind date based on a self-help book called ''6″6 Billion People and You''You″. Nancy is rude to Jessica, so, when Nancy falls asleep, Jessica leaves behind her copy of the book, bookmarking Chapter 7, "Your Negative Thoughts are Ruining Your Life (And Everyone Else's...)". At [[London Waterloo station]], Nancy pursues Jessica to return the book, but is stopped by Jack, Jessica's blind date, who thinks she is Jessica because of the book. Before Nancy can explain she is not Jessica, the nervous Jack charms her with his rambling introduction. She decides to take a chance and pretend that she is Jessica, and the pair have a very good time drinking and bowling, but Nancy's ruse is destroyed when they run into her creepy secondary school acquaintance, Sean.
 
Nancy and an angry Jack argue and return to the bar to retrieve his bag and her notebook, where they run into Hilary and Ed, Jack's soon-to-be-ex-wife with the man she left him for. Nancy goes along with Jack's own ruse when he pretends she is his girlfriend. The presence of the self-assured Nancy irritates Hilary, but Nancy ends up consoling Jack in the bathroom, where she shares the story of her own ex and helps him achieve closure.
 
Nancy wants to invite Jack to her parents' anniversary party — but Jessica has left telephone messages for Jack and still wants to meet up, so he parts ways with Nancy. Nancy arrives at her parents’ party, but is very sad and Jack, who has little in common with Jessica, also quickly realises that letting her go was a mistake. After Jessica- who is pleased about Jack and Nancy's "love story" because it supports her optimistic view of the world- sees him off in a taxi, he enlists the help of Sean and some teenagers (Sean sent Jack to the wrong house and went off to try his luck with Nancy himself - to little avail - but one of the teenagers knew where she lived and they all went there together) to find Nancy's house and they decide to take a chance on each other.
