    Closest match

    Netflix · Oct 23, 2025

    Nobody Wants This

    IMDb 7.8

    Why this fits: Nobody Wants This keeps the warm, modern-romance frustration that Diary of a Ditched Girl turns into jokes, with family pressure that keeps interrupting the couple’s momentum. Expect slow-burn courtship banter and generational meddling that makes every date feel like a test, then a choice, not a dead end.

    • slow-burn romance
    • family interference
  2. Would You Marry Me? poster

    Direct match

    Hulu · Apr 21, 2026

    Would You Marry Me?

    IMDb 7.3

    Why this fits: Would You Marry Me? scratches the same itch for big-city dating awkwardness and friend-level social scrutiny, but it adds a deadline that forces constant performance. The 90-day countdown turns each awkward closeness moment into a pressure-cooker comedy, and the romance shifts from acting normal to wanting real connection.

    • fake dating
    • cohabitation
  3. Platonic poster

    Direct match

    AppleTV+ · Aug 6, 2025

    Platonic

    IMDb 7.2

    Why this fits: Platonic shares Diary of a Ditched Girl’s comfort with adult awkwardness and the way friendships carry the emotional weight behind the laughs. Instead of dating-app dead ends, it focuses on two people rekindling closeness after years apart, with conversational humor and small social collisions that feel intimate and lived-in.

    • adult friendship
    • old grudges
  4. Trying poster

    Deeper cut

    AppleTV+ · Jul 8, 2026

    Trying

    IMDb 8.0

    Why this fits: Trying keeps the romantic dead ends of Diary of a Ditched Girl but swaps dating app chaos for warm couple comedy built around family adoption and bureaucratic chaos. Expect gentle pacing and tender domestic moments, with screwball friends adding friction instead of first-date comedy beats.

    • warm couple comedy
    • family adoption
    • bureaucratic chaos
  5. I Love LA poster

    Deeper cut

    MAX · Nov 2, 2025

    I Love LA

    IMDb 5.9

    Why this fits: I Love LA leans into Diary of a Ditched Girl’s friend-group energy, turning modern love ambiguity into relationship comedy with overlapping couples and workplace rivalry. It’s more big-city reunion comedy and lighter on the intimate dating-app uncertainty, trading it for ensemble chaos and LGBTQ+ romance.

    • friend group
  6. Evig singel poster

    Deeper cut

    TV 2 Play · Jun 12, 2026

    Evig singel

    Why this fits: Evig singel scratches the same romantic misfires itch as Diary of a Ditched Girl, but delivers them through mockumentary cringe humor and secondhand embarrassment. You’ll get more awkward, observational romantic dead ends than the sister warmth and first-date comedy, with the laughs coming from missteps rather than heartfelt domestic beats.
