i really don't want to do that. i like a good love story, i think we have nothing without that. i want to have a family one day. this is all just me trying to figure everything out together.

I made a list of a lot of movies i like with love stories in them and analyzed them too but although i like those stories, i couldn't really relate to them.

for example, True Romance. Their relatinoship is nothing like any of mine.

Actually several of my favorites have exactly the same plot. Eternal sunshine, solaris, Vanilla Sky and Inception.
The male protagonist has a female love interest who is not real. She is merely the manifestation of his memories of her. He thinks he still loves her but he gradually has to realize that this version of her isn't real. The movie is the character's chance to let go by indulging in an exploration of that fantasy. It's a way to get it out of your system because if you suppress your emotions, they don't go away, they only linger as forbidden emotions.
It's also a reality check that you never really knew or loved that person. You became attached by the version of them you idealized in your mind.

That's so fucking sad. How the fuck can i meet a chick get married and have kids if that's all their is?

I have to be wrong, Anon.
