I don't want to be in-love, I want to be in-love in a movie!
This was a classic line in the movie: Sleepless in Seattle.
Meg Ryan's friend turns to her and says, "Your problem is you don't want to be in love, you want to be in love in a movie!"
When I heard that line, I realized that it was a problem I shared.
I don't really want to be in-love in real life with all the boring moments of sheer monotonous dullness that means, I want more.
I want love-montages! I want cool music! I want romance, and magic.
I want clever dialougue!
I don't know how many times I have sat there and realized a relationship wouldn't work out because she just wasn't a clever conversationalist.
I sit there when I first start talking to a girl, whether on the phone or on person, and wait for cleverness to be consistantly revealed in their conversation.
But alas I am usually left bored at the mindles and uninspired monotony of their inane conversation. *sigh*
Sorry for wandering. But does anyone else share this handicapp? Anyone else been spoiled by movies and have grown to expect more from their partners?
And, is it so hard to maintain intellegent flirty conversation over the course of an entire relationship? Or will I have to write scripts for my partners lol?
OH, and since men are on the average even less flirty and clever than girls in conversation, I really feel for you ladies!
