Okay, fine. She actually just wants one man. Rick Grant, the hot novelist who spends hours writing at her favorite coffee shop. But she can't have him. In fact, she desperately needs to get over him, so she's going to find someone else in his age range and fall for him instead.
If Rick can introduce her to some of his friends, that will expedite matters. After all, he's not interested in her, so it's not like he'll get jealous when she starts to date one of his friends.
Even if her plan doesn't go exactly the way she intends, she might still end up finding the love of her life.
