We’ve watched movies all our lives about true love and what it’s ‘supposed’ to look like. We’ve all seen them, romance films like The Notebook, Titanic, A Walk to Remember, Maid in Manhattan, etc., the list goes on and on. They’re great, right? Maybe even made you shed a few tears here and there. As much as I’m sure everyone has fantasized about having a love story like the ones in the movies, have you ever sat down and thought about how accurate the stories you’re basing those fantasies off of actually are?

Here are 10 lies we've all been told about love from romance films.

1. When you’re in love, you can lay in the road for as long as you want and not get hit by a car. I mean love conquers all, right?

2. It’s completely fine to cheat on your husband.

3. If it’s meant to be, it will be no matter what! So instead of going out of your way to actually speak to him or give him your phone number to let him know you’re interested, just write it down in a random book one day and I’m sure he will find it. But that’s only if it’s meant to be of course!

4. Men always save women. Let’s say you sell your body for a living (Thanks for that Pretty Woman), it doesn’t matter. You have such a great personality that a super hot man that paid for sex from you will move you into his penthouse and pay for you to live a fabulous life with him and he’ll of course fall madly in love with you. Not to mention, when in a romance film has the woman ever been the one not in dismay doing the saving?

5. Playing mind games to snag your partner works. I mean, what man wouldn’t love a woman who acts crazy and disinterested just to make sure he’s worthy of her presence? Not to mention how adorable he must think it is when you decorate his home with numerous photos of you and create a photo album of your future kids.

6. Getting physical with your boyfriend during a fight is normal.

……. As long as you have super intense makeout session afterwards of course.

7. It’s also completely normal to hate someone before you fall in love with them.

8. It doesn’t matter if you have nothing in common. I mean, what’s more romantic than having the same fights daily over everything possible because you don’t have the same views on anything in life? Not to mention all the fun you'll have trying to find hobbies you both enjoy doing together.

9. No actually means yes. Guy hits on girl, she says no, but he’s so intrigued by her that he won’t stop until she’s forced to say yes. And, of course, she eventually does because he’s obviously extremely attractive if he’s the lead role in the movie and again… IT’S A MOVIE.

10. Men think it’s absolutely adorable when you have crazy tendencies because it obviously makes you unique!... Or maybe you just need to go to a psych ward.
