T-shirt Ian gave Felicia


Anyone find any significance to it, other than the obvious Ian buys her a t-shirt during significant events angle? I thought they were gonna come back to it later in the movie, but it never did.

It's not really significant, but it reinforces the problem with Ian's personality. He likes Felicia and he's a nice guy, so he thinks of ways to make her happy. He liked the donut stand chick, so he wore that ridiculous costume. Insecure nice guys tend to try to "buy" a crush's affection by being generous.

So true. Don't ever buy anything for a girl unless you're already hooking up.
Twice I've made that mistake and both times, I got pushed even more back as the "friend". Plus, I bought this girl who loved modest mouse a band shirt. Again nothing, you'd think I'd at least get a blowjob, that shirt was like 30 dollars.

I'm pretty sure it's your not-so-charming personality that pushing you into the "friend" zone, not the fact that you buy stuff for girls you like. I will date but don't hook up with any guy that buys me a 30 dollar t-shirt, and guys shouldn't expect girls to. That's you're problem-nothing p**sses most girls off more than some guy EXPECTING us to put out for any reason.

in the book from which its based on "All the Way" it's explained that she collects t-shirts from places she's been much the same way some people collect shot glasses or snow globes. It was a little nod to the book that only readers would get.

The book is much different btw but its worth a read. Very funny.

Ian is a dweeb and keeps trying to buy Felecia's attention. Lance is trying his best to coach Ian about girls, but he just keeps failing. Lance even gets Ian a chick for no-frills sex but he taps out.
