Rom-com love story?

Hi,

There's a view that rom-coms, as a genre, don't represent real life, and that love doesn't happen as it does 'in the movies'.

I'm a trainee journalist writing a piece challenging this, on couples who have met in a way similar to how characters in rom-coms have.

If you are from the UK and have a story like this, I would love to hear.

PM me if you want to share it with me.

What is a "rom-com"? Is that romantic comedy?

Believe me, the way I met my ex, and my current girlfriend, are pretty bizarre. (I'm in America.)

If you're really "challenging this", you need more than 3-4 examples of ridiculous situations. You need actual data and research.

If you're just looking to tell a few fun stories, more power to you.
