I Think I Do is a 1997 American gay-themed romantic comedy film written and directed by Brian Sloan and starring Alexis Arquette.

The film follows the relationship between Bob and Brendan, roommates at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., five years after Bob made his romantic feelings toward Brendan known.

Production
In an interview with IndieWire, director Brian Sloan said, "I wrote a ten page treatment first and from there I started writing the script. It took me about three weeks to get the first draft. I get very nervous sitting at the computer and not doing anything, so I work very fast when I actually sit down to work. Then in the course of three years, I went through ten drafts. The hardest thing about going through ten drafts during that time was to get all the characters to connect. To find a balance between all the couples and to make the different story lines work together."[3] Filming would take place in New Jersey[3] and Washington, D.C.
