As it turns out, he wasn’t exactly who he said he was—cue major enemy vibes, a bit of pity, and eventual endearment. Then, of course, a happy, snowy ending.
Friends to Lovers:
Arguably the most confusing yet somehow predictable rom-com trope we were blessed beyond belief with this year was the very spirited, very gay “Single All the Way.”
After a marketing guru suffers his most recent heartbreak, he brings his best friend/roommate to his quaint New Hampshire hometown for the holidays. His family?
Shipping them hard. But both guys are oblivious. The lesson here? Your family knows you and probably wants you to be happy and taken care of.
So maybe give them a chance this year if they ask to set you up. It might help you see what you’ve been missing all along.
Destined to be Together (Or Just in the Right Place at the Right Time):
Did you have a department store meet-cute? Think he’s the one? There’s only one way to know for sure: pull a “Serendipity”—don’t get his name or number.
It would be best if you only exchanged pure vibes with your could-be soulmate. I mean, you hung out for a whole 30 minutes.
If you meet up 10 years later by pure coincidence—i.e., you’ve both developed an unhealthy obsession with the alternate timeline where you end up together—then it’s meant to be.
Or, maybe you heard a sweet widow’s story on the radio. Then, pull a “Sleepless in Seattle ” and fly to his hometown to observe him from a distance!
