To Cliché, Or Not To Cliché?
 Once I was with a friend having a walk on the beach, when we spotted a couple trying to reach a secluded spot on a little pier that took them inside the waters.. my friend and I looked at them with different views, see to me, I looked at them and smiled, thinking if it was in a different place, with little flamenco music in the background, and less people that would get into your business and make fun of you around, that would be very romantic, and it would be out of a movie.. where at that second, she looked at me and said: "you know! If I ever get to find the love of my life, I wouldn’t do these things with him, cos to me, this has been done over and over in movies, and it’s such a cliché.. where if I were to do it, I’d be laughing at the stupidity of the situation.. cos I would feel it’s so stupid rather than romantic" I don’t know.. I know that I am a dreamer, I know that I am a hopeless romantic, I know that I live a movie of my own.. but when she said what she said made me realize that not everyone would like to experience the butterflies, and want to be swept off thier feet like in the movies, many would want things to be REAL.. I explained to her that I agree, what we have seen might not be the ideal romantic situation, and it looks like a cliché, but I am sure in that couple’s world, the flamenco music was playing in their heads, the place was perfect, and no people in the background to ruin that moment.. I think doing a cliché is not so bad, especially if you are crazy in love.. After tweaking this situation for her, adding better atmosphere, and being in a more romantic country, she kinda changed her mind, or at least she said” maybe I would do it, I don’t know”, rather than saying that she wouldn’t do it and that she would laugh for it being so stupid.. Now it’s your turn, what do you think? Thumbs up on actually being in a cliché, or thumbs down?? Would you try to enjoy it? Or always try to pull your self back to reality, and ruin a romantic moment that you might have seen on a movie?? |

post a commentLove and Cliche don't match up.. In love, everything you do or say would feel original and would definitely have a unique sense of Romance :)
Did you know that….?
Francoise Bornet and her then boyfriend agreed to pose for the seemingly spontaneous photo in 1950.
Romantics like to believe the young lovers were captured in a spontaneous moment of bliss, but the pose was staged.
In an interview in 1992, Doisneau said: "I would have never dared to photograph people like that. Lovers kissing in the street, those couples are rarely legitimate."

Movies are not real. A cliché stops being a cliché, when it becomes PERSONAL AND REAL. Thumbs up for romanticisim!!!
Muchos besos!
This is a typical thing coming out from a dont-have-the-love-of-my-life kinda girl.
From the girls i met, love is always stupid and silly and public affection is bla bla bla until only then, when they fall into it and get a man who can dinve into their lives, they would be an extremely romantic movie, even worse.
Ok back to my opinion: you can see (H. R.) on my forhead :) so you know the rest.
I think it's cute...Especially when two people are crazy in love, the rest of the world fades away 4 them...cliche or not..who cares!
Thumbs rite up!
"I'm Kuwaiti"
I want my fairy tale.. a little romance and spark..
2 thumbs up darling ;)
As you already said: If Crazy in Love...
With the operative word being "crazy", cliche or no cliche the people involved wouldn't be in a condition to make the distinction. Of course, later they can reflect and think it was stupid but would still love that it happened anyway.
When you’re in love nothing is a cliché it’s all brand new. No one in the world has ever felt the way you do. Oh yeah sure other people may have been in love but not with the same intensity and passion as you have.
Me I’m a romantic I’m into all that stuff making out on the beach late at night, dancing by fountains etc. but then again yo soy hispana passion/lust is part of our inherent DNA. It’s not about being cliché or imitating scenes out of a movie. It’s about living out loud what’s in your heart and not holding back. When you’re in love you should never ever hold back. Actually that applies for life in general as well never hold back.
Seize the moment.
How in the world do you think people end up staying together forever? :) It keeps it all fresh,new,and fun. Don't ever let anyone tell you differently.

I'm gonna close my body now"

Why not creating your own cliché. I mean, just like any director or novelist, you can create a romantic date or whatsoever. It won't be a cliché to her, since it didn't appear in a movie, and it will be romantically cliché enough for you.
does that make sense :\ ?!

When u love the person it wont seem like a cliche
I love romance. Cliche or not I love it.
The world has been around for millions of years and people have been falling in love for just as long, of course there is going to be situations that have been repeated and people can call it a cliche but what joy it is to be in love!
Who cares if it's been done before?
That feeling of joy, excitement. It's thrilling, intoxicating.
I enjoy it every day it comes.
Cliche once a year is good, my best friend always says I live in a movie, I always reply that he's lucky to be a co star in it.
being a taurus, that makes me a reality checker in the end, but I don't mind getting off reality once every 10 blue moons or so, it's always good to have a break.
loved this post =}
