What is this British movie?

Looking for the name of a British movie I saw about 10 - 12 years ago. Basically, a young Mick-Jagger-look-alike dates various women and redecorates his apartment/house differently for each girl. Thats about all I remember.

The Rachel Papers?

No, that's not it at all, sorry. I saw "Jagger-look-alike" and thought of the guy in The Rachel Papers.

No, it's not that corny. although, just reading the plotline I thought it might be.

It must be Rachel Papers. Read this synopsis:

Realizing that too much is at stake to depend on luck, Charles designs his seductions with the immaculate precision of a laser surgeon. Meticulous computer files are kept on each subject, listing vital stats -- eye color, family history, initial sightings. When the time comes for that first phone call, a tight shooting script is prepared (to avoid those awkward dead spots), booze is poured to steady the nerves and comforting music put on the stereo. In anticipation of his date's arrival, his room is custom-decorated for the occasion, with the appropriate paraphernalia strewn with devil-may-care exactness around the room -- unfinished poems for the tonier prospects, comic books and music mags for the more pop-minded girls.

It must be. You are right. IMDB had it lumped into a trailer with Bill and Ted and other 80's movies like that which through me off. But, you are right. Thanks.
