Films and romance go together like salt and pepper… like cookies and milk… like Danny and Sandy! If there’s one thing you can learn from the Silver Screen, it’s how to woo the object of your affections. So, when “get your coat, you’ve pulled” stops working, you could always look to the professionals for some more successful lines…

“I don’t think you’re an idiot at all. I mean, there are elements of the ridiculous about you. Your mother’s pretty interesting. And you really are an appallingly bad public speaker. And, um, you tend to let whatever’s in your head come out of your mouth without much consideration of the consequences…but the thing is, um, what I’m trying to say, very inarticulately, is that, um, in fact, perhaps despite appearances, I like you, very much.
