I've watched enough romcoms in my life to know that you simply cannot have a successful love story if you do not have this one place that you go off to whenever you are sad from where you can see the entire city. But that somehow nobody else in the entire city knows of
This spot has to be mysteriously accessible from literally any spot in the city, at all times, no matter how much traffic. Bad day at work? Go to there at break Your hotter mum tells you you wont amount to anything? Go to there. HOW are you going there?? At any hour? Nobody knows
It is also imperative that you tell no one--not your best friend, or your sister, or somehow ANY of your ex es-- about this spot but tell THIS guy about this spot literally the second day you meet them.
You have this exact conversation, while at this spot:
you: I always come to this spot whenever I am sad.
him: wow. I had no idea about this place
you: you can see the entire city from here
him: yeah
Its extremely important that you do not make out with him at this spot. Not yet
Now when you guys have your big misunderstanding whatever stage in your--well whatever it is at this point with the guy--you just come here and he comes there to find you and then you have this conversation:
you: ...
him: I knew I'd find you here
you: ...

NOW you kiss
Thus proved security guards of swanky highrises I do not live in are the reason I am single.
Also I can never do the "but HOW did you find me here" bit like bitch you LITREALLUtook him there STOP looking os damn surprised
Mind you the "spot" spans cultures. It's also
"Yeh jagah meri faaavrit jagah hain, pata hain, jab bhi mummy jhagarti hain, mein yehan aa jata hnu. Pura sheher dikh ta hain yeha se" and "mujhe pata tha tum yehi milogi"

Watchman bhaiyya gayein tel lene
Sometimes I watch romcoms and I find myself feeling wistful and it's confusing because I dunno if I want a love story or just some prime piece of real estate.
Also explains why romcom girls are not to be trusted and never seem to have more than one (1) cynical friend: like what sort of a person does not take their friends to this spot to smoke up and drink beers like wtf.
But keep in mind the spot has terrible to no cell phone reception. Even if your spot is literally the cell phone tower. Like, don't be stupid, nobody coming running after you up this tall building if they can just whatsApp (or well Signal) you.
who am I kidding with my luck even if I had "a spot" I'd probably get murdered there by the one guy I take there.
Because hey turns out the spot is also an excellent place to k-word someone and get away with it for precisely the same reasons that it is a good love story spot
^^fml even the hypothetical romcom in my brain where I am the female lead does a genre switch and turns into Baazigar. And I am Shilpa Shetty.
But the spot eing simultaneously great love story spot and murder spot tells you literally everything you need to know about hetnorm relationships and this fcuking world in general. Smh
Hmu for commissioning a Serious Piece on the Significance of "the Spot" in Romcoms aka the Actual Reason You will Never Find Love aka Why You Would be Dead, bitch, if this Movie were Real Life
