Love Cliches and Why They Are Still Awesome

     As you guys know by my previous post, I am currently (and happily) in a relationship. That totally might skew my perception on love cliches. That being said, I don't like when guys that I date use things that have already been done before. Reduce Reuse Recycle is not the motto for a successful relationship for a reason. Relationships aren't meant to be carbon copies of someone else's relationship, whether that be on television, in books and songs, or even borrowing from your friends and their significant others. However, in this day and age, where pessimists say that everything has been done before, sometimes it is inevitable, and even nice, to revert back to the classics.

Kissing in the rain

 While Jenna Marbles may disagree with me, I find kissing in the rain to be incredibly romantic. I have done this a time or two, and it has always been weirdly enjoyable.  At this point, both individuals in the relationship are most likely freezing to death, resemble a wet dog, and are failing at attempting to deflect water (rain drops falling in your eyes=hell), yet they are still kissing anyways. That is some serious dedication. Plus, it's in The Notebook, and if you aren't a sucker for that film, then you are just one sad individual.

Anything involving a bedroom window and/or a boombox

Made popular by Sixteen Candles (see the classic scene, pictured below) and other 80s movies, reinvented by Easy A, mentioned by Taylor Swift, who doesn't love a good window/boombox scene? Bonus points if it's a song you love, or that signifies your relationship. One of my best (platonic) friends attempted to do this for me once, but it massively failed since my window faces the backyard and the music was coming from her car. Still, it was extremely awesome that she put forth the effort (the thought definitely counts). My personal favorite rendition is Fall Out Boy's Dance Dance. I forget if there is actually a boombox involved, but I love it nonetheless. And sorry for another Skins video, I just cannot get enough of that show.

Flowers and Chocolates

Free food is always a good time, especially if it's sugar. Especially if it's one of those boxes with the variety of different flavors. Picking out the random ones and trying to guess the flavors is always really fun. Entertainment and deliciousness (most of the time, unless you bite into one those gross cherry ones) is a double win.

As for flowers, flowers are beautiful, no matter what kind they are (unless they are yellow carnations and it's not an inside joke, that just equals cringe worthyness). My personal favorites are daisies and dandelions (because they are fun, you can make a wish on them, they are yellow, and picking them from the ground is more difficult than buying them, because the stems reek). Flowers are also costly, so the fact that someone buys you flowers is a decently big deal. Way to be, dude.

(Is it sad that I added flowers onto this mainly so that I could post pictures of flowers?)
