While You Were Dating’ ‘WHILE YOU WERE DATING’ Synopsis Two amateur photographers meet on a blind date and soon, each is wondering if the other might well be their perfect match … 16 years after their divorce. Nick Stendahl (Billy Baldwin) and Julia Minterman (Stefanie von Pfetten) meet in person after hitting it off anonymously on a photography website. Each is shocked to discover that their “date” is the former spouse they divorced 16 years earlier. They laugh off the coincidence over dinner and, since both are open to meeting someone special, they agree to fix up the other on dates. When Julia got a dream job in Europe right after college and Nick stayed in Portland, they tried to make it work but distance, among other things, brought the marriage to an end almost before it got started. And while they may not admit it, being back in contact with one another is reigniting the spark that brought them together as college sweethearts. Nick is successful in real estate, renovating and reselling properties with his partner and best friend Kyle (Robert Moloney). Julia runs a bakery, assisted by her best friend Leslie (Julia Benson). Julia fixes Nick up with Leslie, but it is immediately clear when all Nick talks about is Julia that the date is a non-starter. And when Nick fixes Julia up with his real estate broker, it goes down in the record books as one of the shortest dates in history. Without even realizing it, Nick and Julia are singing the praises of their former spouses to friends and colleagues with whom they are fixing each other up. And while their friends seem to notice how much the former couple really like each other, they each brush it off as “we’re just friends again, that’s all.” After meeting “as friends” a few more times in between their dating other people, Julia and Nick are really hitting it off; so much so that Nick starts wondering if there might still be something between them after all these years. The feelings intensify after Nick helps Julia out by giving her struggling bakery a makeover. However, when Julia’s most recent ex, Dylan (Lochlyn Munro) returns to Portland and they are officially back together again, and Nick meets Elsa (Aiyah O’Brien), who seems to be a great match for him, Nick puts the idea of a serious reunion with Julia out of his head. However, following a double date between Nick/Elsa and Julia/Dylan, Elsa breaks up with Nick, explaining that it is completely obvious that he still carries a flame for Julia. Nick knows now that it is true; Julia is the one he is meant to be with. But, with Dylan back in her life, he knows he must let that dream go, at least for now. It’s now Valentine’s Day, and both have moved on with their lives. However, when Kyle and his wife attempt to fix Nick up with a new girl, he says no. Nick is done with blind dating. But that night when both Julia and Nick spot each other online, they say hi. Nick tells Julia he is no longer seeing Elsa, and Julia reveals that she broke up with Dylan. They soon rush to meet each other and declare their love, both now certain that they will cherish what took them so long to discover ... that love can be sweeter the second time around. --HALLMARK CHANNEL-- .

But as young people spend more of their lives childless and unpartnered, scholars recognize a dearth of academic insight into the processes by which single adults form romantic relationships in the lengthening years between adolescence and betrothal. As the average age of first marriage creeps upwards, this lacuna inhibits sociological appreciation for the ways in which class, gender and sexuality entangle in the lives of single adults to condition sexual behavior and how these behaviors might, in turn, contribute to the reproduction of social inequality.

  • Black Masculinity and White-Cast Sitcoms Unraveling Stereotypes in New Girl
    Black masculinity and White-cast Sitcoms Unraveling stereotypes in New Girl Marie Zafimehy Supervisor: Alma Persson, Gender Studies, LiU Master’s Programme Gender Studies – Intersectionality and Change Master’s thesis 15 ECTS credits ISRN: LIU-TEMA G/GSIC1-A—19/015-SE Marie Zafimehy 2 Master thesis - Gender, Intersectionality and Change ABSTRACT For decades, situational comedies — commonly named “sitcoms” — have been racially segregated on TV between Black-cast sitcoms and White-cast sitcoms. Extensive research has been led about representation of Black and White masculinities in this segregated context. This master thesis studies what happens when White and Black males are equally casted as main characters in contemporary sitcoms by offering a case-study of the 2011 sitcom New Girl (2011-2017). How is Black masculinity represented in New Girl, and in which ways does it intersect with contemporary societal issues (e.g. racial profiling, Black Lives Matter movement)? This case-study uses tools, methodologies and concepts, drawn from Black and Intersectional feminism as well as Feminist media studies. Based on a 25 episodes sample of the show, it implements Ronald Jackson’s traditional stereotypes classification and “Black masculine identity theory” (Jackson, 2006) to study representations of Black masculinity in New Girl, through its two main Black male characters, Winston and Coach. Given that representations of minorities in popular culture reflect and influence our contemporary society, the results offer new insights about how sitcoms, series and pop- culture productions in general can challenge traditional stereotypes and display a more progressive Black masculinity. Key words: Black feminism, Feminist media studies, Men and masculinities, Representation, New Girl, Sitcoms Marie Zafimehy 3 Master thesis - Gender, Intersectionality and Change ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you to Johanna Hägg and Sebastian Ingels who successively shared their Netflix access codes with me.

  • Outfit of the Day: We Want Hannah Simone's
    Outfit Of The Day: We Want Hannah Simone’s Little Red Dress! by Laura Norkin | 3:59 pm, April 12th, 2013 Not that Zooey Deschanel doesn’t deserve all the props she gets for being the “adorkable” star of Fox’s New Girl, but time and again, Hannah Simone steals the scene. Last night at theVERTE Grades of Green annual fundraiser for environmental education, the star proved to be just as stunning as Shmidt’s elusive love interest is on the show. Spring temps heated up a bit this week (let’s not talk about how terrible it is in New York right now), and got us all in the mood for little dresses, lace and scalloping — all of which Simone delivered in her look at yesterday’s fête. The short, belted A-line is a refreshing break from the constant stream of body-con club get-ups that her character Cici rocks on the show, and it makes us think that Simone might have more in common with her nerd-chic co-star than the series lets on. However, you need more than just acting chops to pass as a model on TV, and in the photos below, it’s pretty clear that she gives good face. And can we talk about that hair? It’s quite possible we’ve never seen such a perfect pony. Check out her look, and then run out to buy more bronzer so you can mimic our outfit of the daythis weekend. That’s what we’re doing! In the videos below, Hannah and Zooey talk about the show, and there’s New Girl clips galore.

  • Transitions in Polyamorous Identity and Intercultural Communication: an Application of Identity Managament Theory
    TRANSITIONS IN POLYAMOROUS IDENTITY AND INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION: AN APPLICATION OF IDENTITY MANAGAMENT THEORY by ALLISON TABLE B.S. Florida Gulf Coast University, 2012 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Nicholson School of Communication in the College of Sciences at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 2016 © 2016 Allison Table ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines the intercultural communicative strategies and non-monogamous identity formation of polyamorous individuals. The purpose of this study is to investigate the identity management tactics that polyamorous individuals utilize to navigate a society in which monogamy is the norm. Interactions of polyamorous individuals within a monoganormative society are treated as a type of intercultural communication due to the contrasting cultural identities and communication rules. E-interviews with 38 polyamorous individuals provided basis for phone and Skype interviews. The Retrospective Interview Technique (Huston, Surra, Fitzgerald, & Cate, 1981) required interviewees to recall development of their polyamorous identity and interactions with monogamous others from the past to present day. Twenty-two interviews produced the phases of identity management, including Trial and Error, Enmeshment (Mixing Up), and Renegotiation. Analyzing interviewees’ communication also produced the themes of managing stigma and impressions of the relationship identity. Implications of the study include a richer understanding of polyamorous identity management, polyamory as a relationship orientation, and a new perspective in applying identity management theory. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many thanks first to my family and friends who have been by my side every step of the way. First, my parents Susan and Patrick, you have been encouraging and proud beacons of inspiration – always accepting, always patient, and forever supportive of my creative and academic endeavors.
