The notebook

You know you love her. When you met her, it was the equivalent of the heavens parting and the voice of Morpheus loud in your ear – "She’s The One." It is fate and destiny and the wish you made upon a star. She had you at hello, you look at her and you sigh. It has never been like this before, this over-the-fence, reach-for-the-stars, fireworks kind of love. You know that no matter what she says, she belongs to you.
But she doesn’t know that – and she might not care yet. Or maybe you’re together, and you keep having to drag your foot out of your mouth. It’s not what you say – it’s how you say it. If you’re just a boy, standing in front of a girl, asking her to love you, then you better know how.
This list is meant to help you on your way to the greatest adventure of all, towards a love that will go down the annals of history as a love that is unquenchable and incomparable, a love that will survive no matter if storm clouds may gather and stars may collide, leading right up to a house in the suburbs, 2.5 children and happily every after.
In short, this is a crash course on how to get your girl and keep her, too.

2. When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible – When Harry Met Sally
Translation: Say yes, for crying out loud.
3. When you love someone, you say it. You say it right then, out loud, or the moment just… passes you by. – My Best Friend’s Wedding
Translation: All right, where do I stand?
4. It doesn’t matter if the guy is perfect or the girl is perfect, as longas they are perfect for each other – Good Will Hunting
Translation: I know the other guy is richer, cuter, and has a better car, but just give me one shot.

7. You can’t handle the truth. – A Few Good Men
Translation: Let’s forget I screwed up.
8. I love you, very simple, very truly… I had to say it, because I’ve never felt this way before… And if bringing this to light means we can’t hang out anymore, then that hurts me. But God, I just, I couldn’t allow another day to go by without just getting it out there, regardless of the outcome.
