Love 101, as learnt through chick flicks ...
A romantic reunion must only happen in a downpour.
Mr Right was under your nose the whole time!
The best way to get a girl back is to sing her a song (however badly it is).
... or deliver 'the big speech' where you spill it all out and apologise for being a douchebag in front of a crowd. Works every time!
Women fall over things a lot. Must be a subtle metaphor for falling in love ... or they're just plain kooky!
The pretty girl always finds love, but her sassy wise-cracking, less attractive best friend doesn't.
If it's not a best girl friend, it's the gay friend there to assist on the path to love.
Guys who own bookshops are relationship material.
Tell your crush you love them on their wedding day. It's perfect timing.
Sex only happens in golden light.
Your lover will decide not to leave town if you chase after them (especially through peak-hour traffic, busy airports and train terminals).
Don't let your so-called best friend make a speech at your engagement party. It's bound to end in a drunken, embarrassing ramble.
Grannies are quirky or dirty, or both.
Girls have careers too! Like magazine editors, advertising execs and book publishers.
If you hate someone, you actually love them deep, deep down.
The world does actually spin around when you have 'the big kiss'.
All girls are obsessed with marriage.
J.Lo really is just the girl next door.
Hot girls are insecure too.
City girls are uptight and can't handle the country.
Friends with benefits never works.
Walking around naked will increase your chances of a head-on collision with your also-naked crush.
Dream job or dream boyfriend? A common dilemma for a modern woman: she has to choose.
Flatmates are gross. But they give good advice (when they're not stoned or watching TV).
Babies bring strangers together. Even if they have nothing in common ...
There's no other city to fall in love in other than New York.
Jennifer Aniston has amazing hair. But she'll never go back to the Rachel.
A makeover will turn geek to chic: remove the glasses, ratty hair and baggy clothes, and voila: you're hot!
If he's not into you, he must be gay.
