Price On Request

Maybe romantic movies also should carry a tag ‘Price on Request’. I am perfectly happy being single or in a relationship, but romantic movies are so beyond perfect that what you have, feels like shit. It’s like buying new expensive shoes and loving it until you see a Jimmy Choo or a Ferragamo in the magazine, which usually says ‘PRICE ON REQUEST!’

Ok so I have not seen Casablanca (I know, OMG!) but don’t you think it is a good thing? Romantic movies only make you feel sad. Yes, very sad:

• Sad cause you’re single and lonely
• Sad cause you’re single, happy and unavailable but still men think they have a chance
• Sad cause you’re single and every man think that there is ‘Always open’ sign on your head
• Sad cause you’re not single but your ‘seemingly perfect’ boyfriend doesn’t do all romantic, passionate stuff.
• And finally sad cause you’re in a complicated relationship (in which case anything is sad)

And most importantly it entices you to make that unwanted-unnecessary-‘will screw things up’ call to :

• Boy friend
• Ex
• Ex Boy friend you’re sleeping with
• Someone you slept with previous night
• ‘Just a good friend’
• Best friend
• Make out buddy
• Close mate
• Drinking partner
• The guy you met at a random house party, and seemed very cute when drunk, so you gave him your number
• Etc.

And soon after the ‘mushy’ effect wears off you’re exactly in the ‘woke up in someone else’s bed with a hangover’. You just want to get out of there and try to erase the calls you made out of yours and everyone else’s memories. A happily ever after movie is a more expensive mistake than alcohol.
