14 things rom coms lied to us about

LIES.

1. Having an epic gaff before the age of 30 in a massive city is completely normal

In real life, you’re scrambling around in a rental with three of your mates.

2. Every couple that ever gets together meets in the cutest way possible

And not in the pub through a mutual friend. One must save the other’s life for romance to blossom in films.

3. Mad coincidences are around every corner and you just have to wait for something ridiculously romantic to fall into your lap

Nothing that cool ever happens when you’re swiping through Tinder.

4. That getting taxis everywhere is a normal thing to do

No sweaty buses for these people, oh no. They’re getting taxis into work when they’re not hungover, like it’s nothing.

5. Your quirky but sound best friend will listen to your problems all the time and never have anything happening in their life

6. The airport is a perfect place for a romantic chat

In real life it’s the most stressful place ever and security would stop you from any romantic chases.

7. Whacky schemes dreamt up by your gas friend to get a date are always a good idea

“Yeah, so we’ll dress you in a costume and you serve her free ice cream and then reveal yourself.”

“Yes! Great plan!”

8. That absolutely hating each other for ages is the key to any successful romance

Often in real life, couples don’t spend ages being mortal enemies before realising they are meant to be.

9. First kisses are always passionate, romantic affairs (with the possibility of lashing rain)

In real life it’s more an awkward shift in a fairly questionable seating area with people watching in the pub.

10. When you return to your hometown after years away your ex looks like an actual movie star

11. Tiny miscommunications lead to months of not talking over the STUPIDEST thing

A simple text could be sent.

12. Your significant other will always be able to fire off an epic monologue when things aren’t going great

Real life: texting an emoji wins out over the speech in public.

13. Grand gestures like flash mobs and impromptu TV appearances are perfectly acceptable

In real life – it’s mortification city for everyone involved.

14. And finally, the morning after is a glamorous, cute and sexy affair frolicking in the sheets

We all know that it’s bad breath, morning wood and nervousness that it’s suddenly really bright and you can both see everything.

We’re all on to you, rom coms.
