What 2 Romantic Comedies Can Teach You About Love

So, back in the day, they used to make romantic comedies. They made us laugh, they made us cry, they made us watch them again and again. But occasionally, one of these movies had a valuable lesson to teach. In today’s Love U Podcast, I’m going to talk about two romcoms and how a few scenes from them can help you find your husband. Literally.

Two romantic movies I love.
An Affair to Remember.
Out of Africa.. The first teaches patience.
The second reaches Loss.

Not true, Evan. He’s Just Not That Into You. In that movie, there are several plot lines where the girl doesn’t get the guy.

Zooey Deschanel, the lead lady in “500 Days of Summer” eventually married another man and was pregnant towards the end of the film. She gave Joseph, the lead man all sorts of excuses not to commit to him. She was inconsistent and nowhere during their 2 year relationship did he feel secure and stable with her. The bottom line, with all her excuses and all her inconsistencies, she just did not see him as her husband. Someone nice – yes. Someone to have fun with – yes, at times. But not someone to marry, until she met that man she accepted as her husband.

Romantics Anonymous – wonderful French movie showing how shy and vulnerable we are when we’re falling in love.

“Basic Instinct- men are attracted to crazy,sexy women.”
Just for a night. Then they want them to go away. 🙂

"Seriously…everything you described would happen, happened!"
He emailed me, he called me, he asked for a date, he called back, he contacts me everyday, he took down his profile first, he stopped dating the other women he was dating and asked me to “date exclusively” because he wants to focus on getting to know me better. All I did was say yes.

"Your email gave me new motivation to be open to new possibilities that didn't fit in my box."
He makes me feel special, goes out of his way for me, doesn't keep me guessing about whether I'll hear from him, gives me his full attention.

"Thank you, Evan, for enlightening me, having faith in women, and being honest with what 'is'!!"
The result of giving up the search for “why” is losing the worry, the wringing of the hands, the wondering if he will call, and all the stress and sadness that goes with the worry.
