So i was watching hitch the other day, and everytime i watch it theres always this one scene where i dont actually understand, it may sound completely stupid but i was wondering if anyone could dumb it down abit for me so i know what the hell it means. lol ok, so its the one just after Hitch goes to the speed dating to try and talk to sara, and he's just come back from a run and sara is waiting outside, presumably his apartment, and their talking and hitch says something like "Im not someone who likes to get involved past a certain point, and that point was about a week ago..." now is he saying that he's hurt by whats happened or he actually loved her at that point? I am really confused but it is bugging me, and if anyone would know it would be you......

I could be wrong but... I'm pretty sure he was referring to his perception that she betrayed him by posting that story... which theoretically put an end to his business. More than likely, he associated that in his mind with what transpired with his college girlfriend. Hense the reason he hasn't gotten past the initial stage of a relationship (afraid to get hurt).

But again... I could be wrong. Clearly he had the super macho wall up in that scene and was trying to pretend like she didn't hurt him.

I actually think it had more to do with his job and what misconception Sarah had about it

Sarah thought that Hitch helped men get into women's pants

Hitch says "I'm not a person who likes to get involved past a certain point, and that point was about a week ago"

If you remember at the beginning of the film, he explains that he can successfully land a guy three dates and a first kiss, and then they're on their own. He doesn't like to get involved past the first kiss.

So, what he was saying to Sarah, who he'd first kissed about a week ago, was that her perception of his job was way off. He was telling her using their own story of how far he goes in his involvement with his clients' pursuit of their women.

just my opinion

Anywhere you go, let me go too...that's all I ask of you

He's pretending she didn't hurt him. The night before at speed-dating he was open and vulnerable. The next morning he says that to let her know that he wasn't invested in the relationship so she didn't really hurt him.

Of course, we know he was lying.
