@ Mudpuddle: Most definitely. I suspect that a lot of the disenchantment with romance comes from movies.
@ Marian: Welcome! I'm not sure just how much you'll like my place but you are most welcome. Hopefully I'll not offend you *too* much or *too* often with my posts or musings... [grin] As you've probably noticed I do book reviews Monday & Thursday which a whole bunch of other stuff throughout the week. Feel free to comment whenever you wish.
Romance movies are wholly unrealistic and should come with a mental health warning - just like Facebook posts! Romance IRL is nothing like the Hollywood version so will *always* be disappointing. Of course *realistic* romance movies just wouldn't sell seats or popcorn so.... [grin]
@ Mudpudlle: Agree on the 'smarts'. I'm just a little concerned (as always!) that some of the posts here can be a little..... full on... and don't want to frighten her away. Hopefully she'll reappear and we can have some interesting chats... [grin]

yes, when reality comes crashing in...
:D Maybe I'm bitter, but I feel like movies are responsible for much of romantic delusions and disappointment. :P

If you are afraid YOU might offend, I better be on my best behavior, lol. Don't want to scare new ones away
@ Sarah: Oh, you don't have to be well behaved @ my place. Just be yourself... [lol] I'm sure that you won't frighten people way!
