Our US pals Dating Advice make a welcome return to our blog, spreading the Florida sunshine (yes please) and sharing their love expertise. A jaunty tip of our tweed caps to the sun-kissed ones who this month have plucked out a little love advice, movie-style…
U.S. Movies have an interesting take on love stories. They can be both funny and romantic and what is for sure is that there’s a lot that can be learned from them. From “Sex and the City” to “The Notebook,” they range from funny to intense but there are little love lessons hidden inside every one of these movies and we’ve picked the best one liners…
1. Sex and the City
“We were perfectly happy before we decided to live happily ever after.” – Carrie
Romance, love and sex in the big city can be a big headache. When drama comes, stay calm and remember you will end up with the right person if you stay true to yourself. Stick close to your friends and go along for the ride. Your true friends will be with you whatever happens.
2. The 40 Year Old Virgin
“Is it true that if you don’t use it, you lose it?” – Andy
If you’re single and not having sex, don’t give up just yet.

3. 500 Days of Summer
“People don’t realise this, but loneliness is underrated” – Tom
Memories can come and go. Spend some time remembering the good times in your relationship, but eventually let them go and move on to the next thing. We all think about past love from time to time we must move on and make a collage of new memories with another amazing person.
4 When Harry Met Sally
“You realize of course that we could never be friends.” – Harry
Harry and Sally meet and eventually get together years later. Deep down they knew this was inevitable. If a friend or flame in your life feels right but circumstances aren’t, keep them in mind for the long term. If it’s meant to be…
5. 50 First Dates
“Can I have one last first kiss?” – Lucy
Some women or men come with interesting complications. Henry falls in love with Lucy and finds out she has amnesia. Don’t immediately write off a prospective date or individual based on a condition they may have. Henry fell in love with Lucy and her condition. True love knows no bounds.
6. The Notebook
“You gotta be kiddin’ me. All this time, that’s what I’ve been missin’? Let’s do it again.” – Allie
Sometimes you may be separated from someone you love and move far away. Years may pass as well but the flame still burns. Go for the person you love at all costs if that is what you know is right. In the very end, you’ll look back and remember the beautiful journey that brought you both together.
7. Romeo + Juliet
“I defy you, stars!” – Romeo
This modern version of the classic teaches us that young love can be crazy! War meets love. We can learn that you should fight for love if you feel the cost is worth it. Live and love. Leave it all on the line if you desire to go against all odds.
8. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
“I loved you on this day. I love this memory.” – Joel
Many of us can end up single even when we think we’ve found the perfect person. Joel loses Clementine and tries to erase her memory from his mind. However, he realises she is who he really wants. When you find the person that feels right, go for it and have no regrets. Otherwise you may end up wanting to erase your memory like Joel…
