Romantic comedies have never lost their charm. Your favorite romantic comedy reveals important aspect of your personality:
• Unexpected endings — “My Best Friend’s Wedding” ends with Julia Roberts’ character losing the guy but learning an important life lesson. You enjoy the realism because you like a flick that makes you think. You’re an insightful person who understands that not getting your way is sometimes the best outcome.
• Funny tearjerkers — Movies like “Jerry Maguire” that mix the laughs with poignant drama prove you’re an emotionally complicated person. You appreciate the many layers it takes to create a mature relationship. You know that true love demands both a meeting of the minds and of the hearts to truly succeed.
• Love in jeopardy — It takes years and years for the twosome to finally get together in “When Harry Met Sally”, and that’s just fine with a realist like you. Forget love at first sight. You question all aspects of a relationship before you commit yourself. But that doesn’t mean you can’t fall head over heels after lots of thought.
• Happily ever after — You’ll take the fairy tale of “Pretty Woman” because in the romance sweepstakes you want it all, just like the heroine in the movie. You believe that winning the heart of the one you love against all odds is proof of your devotion. Plus, fanciful stories with realistic plot twists fit your idea of romance.
• Role reversal — You’re a strong woman who can relate to a female having the power in a film like “What Women Want”. Your healthy self esteem puts you in the driver’s seat when it comes to both your job and your love life. You enjoy a challenge and you’ll do whatever it takes to win the love of your soul mate.
