I've always agreed with that adage "there's nothing like a fakey gay bar to remind you why you are straight"that said:
BRAIN TRUST, I NEED YOUR HELP!
My script is languishing at the basest levels. It needs a romance but the only formulas i can come up with are:
1) boy loves girl -> boy can't get girl -> boy overcomes obstacles gets girl
2) boy loves girl - > boy CAN get girl save his personal sabotage -> boy gains confidence gets girl
3) boy hates girl -> girl hates boy -> fall in love through wacky happenstance
4) boy loves girl -> girl is bitch -> through overcoming obstacles boy realizes girl is bitch and is either a) more pleased with self or b) finds better girl
So , yes , all those are contrived and stupid so I call upon your help.
Can you think of a better idea for romance in a short film? or in real life? Or AT LEAST which of those do you find less vomit inducing.
thanks. I'm not creative on my own. I can only re-tell fantastic anecdotes

Also I think that anything without the usual obstacles being overcome will tend to be less sappy and vomit inducing...but what do I know it's rediculosu o'clock in the morning and I've had little sleep.
If you want to go for something maybe awkward/humourous you could do
boy and girl meet in some circumstances where they have to convieniently run into one another for a few days (training session?) -> boy and girl have awesome time together -> it later turns out girl gave him an illegible phone number -> boy goes crazy trying to find the right one?
If no, then I think that #4 as presented by you is the best of the four.
I like Amanda's. Also, what if the boy loves a girl, but realizes that he's gay?
Also, what if boy loves girl so much, but in the end, realizes it was something else missing in his life, and turns out not wanting to be with the girl anyway? Go personal discovery!
