Growing up, I was your typical hopeless romantic. If a story had a romance, I was there watching. Especially those geek/popular type story lines (Can’t Buy Me Love, 1987). And if a tv show had that romance plot with the “will they or won’t they” string along, I allowed myself to be strung along. Usually in frustration as I yelled at the tv screen, “Just get together already!” But it was like they couldn’t hear me or something because they wouldn’t. They just toyed with me. And sometimes they had the audacity to never get together! Since I no longer have live television and only do streaming, I have revisited some of those tv couples that led me along with their chemistry-filled teasing. I have to say, watching these with older eyes gives them a new perspective. Like red flags. So many red flags. Here’s a list of couples that made me watch and how I feel about them now.
