Why this fits: Diarra from Detroit keeps the same warm, messy dating frustration going, but turns it into a ghosted-romance mystery with escalating weirdness. Like Diary of a Ditched Girl, it follows a stubborn woman through app and bar letdowns, using her self-inflicted pressure and dry humor to keep you moving, then it gets stranger and more suspenseful.
Why this fits: Survival of the Thickest shares Diary of a Ditched Girl’s feel-good comedy-drama vibe, where romance misfires and workplace embarrassment land as laughs and real hurt. Both center on women juggling dating dead ends with friend and coworker chaos, and the episodes keep delivering small wins as confidence rebuilds, but it leans more into career and body-positive warmth than sister banter.
Why this fits: Would You Marry Me? brings Diary of a Ditched Girl’s big-city dating energy into a deadline-driven fake cohabitation setup. The humor comes from repeated scrutiny and domestic awkwardness as a couple tries to keep up the act, while Diary of a Ditched Girl stays more episodic with first-date fallout, making this one faster and more romance-forward.
Home for Christmas keeps Diary of a Ditched Girl’s romantic dead ends and first-date comedy, but trades dating app chaos for countdown dating in a small town. Family scrutiny and awkward social rituals pile up into holiday matchmaking chaos, with a drier, more sardonic self-inflicted panic than the modern love ambiguity.
Platonic brings Diary of a Ditched Girl’s friend-group energy into adult friendship comedy, centered on awkward reunions and co-worker banter. Instead of dating app ambiguity, it leans on marriage and exes fallout plus family loyalty jokes, so the pressure feels more social and conversational than romantic.
Trying offers Diary of a Ditched Girl’s relationship anxiety with a gentler, domestic focus on a couple navigating adoption paperwork. Where Diary of a Ditched Girl spotlights modern love ambiguity and dating app chaos, Trying leans into tender character humor and bureaucratic chaos, with consequences that land more in everyday life than first-date awkwardness.
