Have you ever had a romance like 500 days of Summer?

[Simslover92]

If so, who were you more like, Tom or Summer?

[katiesmuff]

Several but none lasted as long as this one. I think about 6 months for the longest before the boyfriend got the message I was not interested in moving forward and I was never monogamous during this time and he knew it. I for the better part of my 20's was never interested in a true relationship. Wasn't looking for it when I actually found it and even then I struggled awhile before realizing I actually have found prince charming. Been going great for 15 years and 4 kids later.

Wasn’t that movie just about an asshole of a guy forcing his way into Summer’s life because he wanted her and it didn’t matter if she wanted him?

[Simslover92]

Yes pretty much.

A movie is a movie, reality is reality & although I haven’t seen the movie I guarantee on film the movie makers are trying to sugarcoat bullshit in the romance department.

I think everyone has a better chance of getting hit by lightning on a submarine.

I would laugh if this summer if that romance lightning strikes me.

[Still-alive]

Its basically the dude was friend zoned while not accepting the girl just isn’t into him lol.

its cute yeah but a lot of dudes can relate

[Simslover92]

That's true but some girls can relate to Tom as well.

I’ve had something pretty close to a 500 Days of Summer story 🙃
I was definitely more like Tom: idealizing the relationship, turning every little moment into a movie scene in my head, missing all the red flags because the chemistry felt “cinematic.”

The other person wasn’t as emotionally invested, more free-spirited, kind of like Summer. Beautiful, intense, and ultimately a huge lesson 💔✨

[MrChinaski]

I'm more of a 5 seconds of summer kind of guy

@Simslover92 Okay, flippancy aside. I guess I've been Tom for about 8 months and Summer for about 18 months. Not a bad rate of dysfunction for 30 years of relationships, I suppose.

[Simslover92]

I've always been Tom. Never really Summer.

[KostasKouvalis]

I don't know what that is, but as a geographer, I assure you Summer has a lot less than 500 days.

Is that Dakota Johnson?

[Simslover92]

No that's Zoey Deschanel.

[KostasKouvalis]

Oh..

[NathanDavis]

hell nah... I would never put myself in that position, I SAW THE MOVIE!!

[Shiprex]

I had a thing with a Canadian woman that was very physical that lasted a few weeks a long time ago.

[Nikki1989]

I had never heard of it, let alone seen it.

[AviatorTom]

I've had a few summer romances, but one ever lasted that long.

[MidnightRivers]

Can't say I have, haven't seen the movie haha

I guess I've had one similar to the 'girl next door' non-horro version

[Likes2drive]

Didn’t see much of that movie, but I did like the song from Hall & Oates in it, but I doubt I’ve ever had any relationships like any movie

[Abbycado]

Never seen it. Good?

[Simslover92]

Yes it's a really good movie. You should definitely check it out whenever you have a chance.

[Abbycado]

We can rent from Apple TV. Just checked. 👍

[Simslover92]

Oh ok great! Hope you like it!

[Abbycado]

Ty babe. Have a great night.

[Simslover92]

Yw. And thanks you too!

[abc3643]

Sort of, yes. Except mine was 18 days.

[abc3643]

I was most definitely Tom BUT I did not suffer like Tom did.
My last "Summer" began 35.5 years ago and I am still in a funk.

[DonaldDarko]

Not either one as far as I can tell.

[exitseven]

it was more like 2 weeks in July.

[LC75LC71]

I've been to the Indianapolis 500..

[qwerty2469]

Yeah. I called it 23 years of Amanda. What a cunt.

[Anonymous]

I never had any kind of romance :(

[dudeinohio]
