Maybe it’s an age thing, but being single doesn’t really
bother me all that much… about 99 times out of 100. That’s probably because I’m
at that point of transitioning into full-on adulthood where I have a lot of
other shit to worry about day-by-day. Of course, on that one day out of 100, it
does end up getting me ever so slightly. And by "slightly", I mean I start
looking like I should be listening to Simple Plan all friggin’ day. Being the
social hermit that I am, talking with people isn’t necessarily something I am
equipped to deal with these days. With this in mind, and everything I’ve said
previously about what I’ve learnt from films, there’s that added layer of
irritating that comes with most rom-coms. It’s kind of like hanging out with
people who go on about how great their relationship is going and how much work it is to maintain; on
both sides, it only serves to annoy. Probably explains why these are usually
considered date movies in the first place; watching them while single isn’t
exactly the best idea in the world. Regardless, here I am fulfilling my
self-imposed obligation to see a film that I’m not exactly frothing at the
mouth to go see. Let’s discover why.
