Sure, the media molds a lot of people into what they "should" be like.Apollonian said:I also think very much that people watch too many sappy romance movies, especially when they have been dating a while. It makes everyone want everyone to date. Frankly, its a horribly odd phenomenon. I haven't watched a really sappy movie in many many months, and I am much happier for it. Don't give in.
