9 Problems With Rom-Coms That No One Wants To Admit
Even science agrees that they're bad...
Going to the movies to ooh and ahh over the latest Rom Com is considered the perfect choice to create that cute, fun and memorable first date. Nobody has to talk or even look at each other for the first few hours of your night out and you'll ultimately be watching a film that will eventually cause some harm to your future relationship. So whilst you're sitting there thinking about the the position of his arm against yours and what it all means, you might just be setting yourself up for a fall. You'll come out of the movie all hopeful and thinking that he could be The One because the couple in the movie got together in the end, against all odds; so you two definitely have a chance. Because you've went through an emotional journey with the characters on screen, you'll assume that he's had the exact same experience and reaction to the movie, and because the male protagonist falls in love with the girl despite her stereotypical flaws (which you can relate to), then he'll fall in love with you just as easily. In recent studies, people who watch Rom Coms are said to believe in fate, destiny and True Love. Unfortunately life is not a fairytale and these works of fiction can have a negative impact on your love life. You'll probably get upset at the fact that your other half can't read your mind like they do in the movies and you'll question your partner as to why they don't know you as well as Edward knows and loves Bella. You've also tried kissing underwater, having sex on the kitchen floor and have discovered that they just don't work. You're not bitter about Rom Coms, it would just be nice if you could actually enjoy them and not have people lie to you for an hour and a half because they fib about a lot of things...
