Jay is convinced that he's a ladies' man and tries to teach the others his techniques for picking up girls, but his attempts at flirting are cringeworthy and only end up embarrassing him.

Meanwhile, Simon tries to impress Carly by pretending to be interested in the things she likes, but his lack of knowledge quickly becomes apparent. When Carly's boyfriend shows up, Simon's hopes are dashed once again, leaving him feeling more dejected than ever.

Jay's attempts to impress girls don't fare much better, as his crude jokes and inappropriate behavior only serve to turn them off. However, he does manage to catch the eye of a girl named Chloe, who seems to be interested in him despite his shortcomings.

Finally, Neil finds himself in an unexpected love triangle when he unwittingly starts seeing two girls at once, leading to some amusing misunderstandings and awkward encounters.
