Here’s which romcom you should watch this Valentine’s based on your Cardiff situationship

Whether you are pining over someone who doesn’t even know who you are, have a messy entanglement with someone your friends hate, or have a crush on your flatmate, situationships are no fun.

Undoubtedly, everyone is going to be feeling some type of way this February.

This is why you should spend your weekend watching (or re-watching) a bunch of romcoms that might fit your particular situation. There’s nothing like a bit of fictional comfort in the form of Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey.

So, here is a list of films to match any situation you may be in this season of love.

Age gap situationship: No Hard Feelings

The hardest thing is when you find a person you click with but then you find out their age and question the relationship. This Valentine’s, No Hard Feelings is the movie to help justify that relationship and get you your Valentine.

Starring Jennifer Lawrence, this movie tells the story of of her trying to get her childhood home back by dating a 19-year-old that lives there.

If you’ve watched this movie you’ll know the feeling of developing feelings for someone you either despise or just are determined to steer clear of. Uni rivalry, what can I say?

After the loss of their best friends, Holly and Eric try to be civil in order to raise their godchild. So, as you can see Life As We Know It is a brilliant representation of falling for someone you usually wouldn’t (or shouldn’t).

It is inevitable that someone you know had a one night stand in Freshers’ Week and they either haven’t been able to forget them since.

If you need the courage to end things or finally commit to them, What Happens in Vegas will definitely convince you.

A movie where a couple are forced in each others lives when they both win big in Vegas, the perfect strangers/enemies to lovers trope.

All three movies (and now the new one), will provide you with the necessary advice to make your decision.

For the person you’re unsure about: 27 Dresses

If you’ve been let down too many times and have given up all hope on love, 27 Dresses is sure to give you a pick-me-up.

Katherine Heigl is met with the difficult situation of her sister marrying the man she has always been in love with. Having always put others first, she doesn’t let her feelings show and becomes quite anti-romance, until a special someone comes along…

This movie is one that will motivate you to get on that cute outfit and make a move.

The situationship that becomes a relationship: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

Being a personal favourite, this movie will forever persuade you to try for that one person, no matter how much they hurt you.

With their own personal goals, Andie Anderson and Benjamin Barry attempt to simultaneously seduce and lose each other. What seemingly would end in heartbreak becomes one of the sweetest on-screen relationships we’ve seen in decades.

As Andie said “I lost the one guy I’ve ever fallen for” – don’t regret it like she did.

Kat taught us all how to be a strong woman, but, also how to choose our men correctly (i.e Heath Ledger set the standard). She vowed to focus on her studies and not be involved in the boy world, but Heath really changed her mind.

That’s why this is the movie you need to watch if you need to feel better about falling for someone unexpected.

That one situationship you always bump into: Notting Hill

All I have to say is “I’m just a girl standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her” and I hope I’ve convinced you enough that this is the movie you need to watch this Valentine’s Day.

But if you’ve never watched it, Notting Hill is that movie you can watch over and over again as if it’s the first time.

A book shop owner and Hollywood celebrity fall in love but struggle to be together until they finally find a way. They constantly bump into each other, a bit like your Hinge situationship that you always run into in the CSL, right?

So this weekend, whether you are committed or single, open or it’s complicated, be sure to know that there is a movie out there to comfort your exact situation.
