Dirty Little Secret #10

 

I used a movie, “The Notebook“, as a Weapon of Mass Affection.  

When I’m in a relationship I’m never the first one to say “I love you“.  I don’t know what I would do if the other person just said “Thanks” and kept it moving.  My little heart would be crushed.  

So, I’d been with my ex for quite a while…months.  Long enough for me to know that he was completely smitten and long enough for me to wonder what was taking him so long to say those 3 little words.

I’d heard from some co-workers that The Notebook was the greatest love story. Ever.  You’ll cry and then you’ll make babies.  Blah blah blah.   So I bought it and decided to put it to the test.

One day I went over to the Ex’s apartment and I brought The Notebook with me.  I was gonna make him watch it if it was the last thing he did.  Luckily for me he didn’t put up much of a fight, but he wasn’t jumping for joy either.  I had trained him well.

We lay in bed that afternoon, snuggled up watching the movie.  I turned and looked at him. I could see he was really feeling this movie.  It blew my mind!  This was going better than I had expected.  

Before the movie even ended he turns to me and says “Do you love me?”

Me: “Why?  Do you love me?”

Ex: “Yeah. I do.”

Me: “Good.  I love you, too.”

JACKPOT!!!
