I.Title:
He’s Just Not That Into You – A Study On Misinterpreted Signals In Relationships

II. Research Objectives: 1) To identify the differences in the communication style between men and women. 2) To help men and women understand the other’s non-verbal signals in a more profound way. 3) To reduce misunderstandings between couples by helping them read the signals given by the other.

III. Research Questions: 1) How does the communication style differ between men and female? 2) How can men and women understand each other’s non-verbal signals? 3) How can men and women reduce misunderstandings that stem from misinterpreting signals?

Problem Statement
Why is it important to understand the differences in non-verbal communication between men and women.

IV. Methodology:
The methodology chosen for this research is qualitative. This research will be based on the movie He’s Just Not That Into You, directed by Ken Kwapis that depicts the inter-connecting stories of various couples that go through many conflicts due to misinterpreted signals. A movie analysis will be conducted to study each character, their style of communication, their dialogs, and their non-verbal communication. I will also study how the person they are communicating with interprets the message and how the misinterpretation of a message causes conflicts among the characters.

V. Limitations:
While conducting this research, there are a few limitations that I might face such as not being able to interpret the messages given out by a character clearly. In addition to that, because this research is based on a movie, not having a real case studies might hinder me in achieving my results. Finally, the results I obtain may vary from person to person.

VI. Theoretical Framework: The
