    If a girl doesn’t like you, but you just keep pursuing her, everything will eventually work out and you’ll be happy together.

      Ya know, it kinda makes sense that Hollywood is full of sex criminals when you look at romantic comedies and are always left wondering “And he’s not in jail why?”

        There’s a Christmas movie called Holiday in Handcuffs where a woman abducts a dude to play her boyfriend so her family gets off of her back, and naturally they actually fall in love by the end but also HOLY SHIT HOW IS THAT A THING

      Unfortunately, this one goes both ways. Some women feel like they need to play hard to get, because otherwise they’re sluts, and also they want to know that a guy really likes her. It’s self defeating of course, on both sides.

      It worked for a friend of mine. They were friends, he kept trying to get her to date him and after a year of pestering she caved. They’re engaged now.

        not making any claims about your friend’s situation, but i’ve seen this happen more than once also–pestering, caving, engagement-- and they ended very badly.

        getting engaged or even married does not necessarily mean “happy together”

        You just got to wear them down enough, break their willpower. They can learn to love in time.

        I watched Reality Bites as a teenager, and I’m convinced it had a negative influence on my life.
        The character Ethan Hawke played became my role model, and he’s just not a very good one, at all.
