Lui, c'est Jack. 27 ans, célibataire et heureux de l'être. Sortir un soir avec une fille, pas de problème ; se rappeler son nom le lendemain matin, c'est déjà plus compliqué. Et la revoir ? Pourquoi pas l'inviter au restaurant tant qu'on y est ? Non. Il y a des règles à respecter. Le célibat est un art de vivre. Y renoncer, c'est grave, ça veut dire changer de chaussettes tous les jours, ne plus sourire aux serveuses... Euh, bonjour, Amy, tu fais quoi ce soir ? Elle, c'est Amy. Elle a 25 ans, travaille dans l'intérim et n'a pas fait l'amour depuis six mois. Six mois ! Ce n'est plus de l'abstinence, c'est un retour à la virginité. Le célibat, elle a donné : le shoppmg-suicide, les régimes, l'air affligé des copines... Mais que fait l'homme idéal ? Oui on sait, il est marié. Et l'homme presque idéal? Bonjour Jack ! Tu fais quoi ce soir ?
