LillyAnn's "20 Romantic Comedies with Happy Endings"

Women are emotional creatures, unlike the men of steel such as yourselves. And when we get emotional, well, that’s good for you! Because when we feel all emotional, and you’re around, quite often you get the good of it.

I wouldn’t generally recommend the ‘Dinner and a Movie’ date (bleah!), because it’s just too common, and one of the things you want to do, especially early on, is to set yourself apart from the other guys. Therefore, you don’t want to do the same old date that the other guys do. And that rules out Dinner-And-A-Movie.

However, watching old movies on a rainy day, cuddled up together on a sofa or a comfy bed, beneath a blanket, with the scent of popcorn in the air …

The Romantic Comedy is what’s called for here.

Remember: if it makes her emotional, and it makes her feel good, and it makes her feel all tender, then I reckon it’s worth your while to sit through a mushy movie, right?

I therefore respectfully submit the following Romantic Movies, which you can keep handy for some such magic moment …
