10 Ways to Find Your One True Love Instantly, according to chick flicks

1. Work with them. If your boss is flirting with you, that's not sexual harassment, it's a sign you were meant to be together.

2. Go on a cross country road trip, write a novel, work on a newspaper article, write a song, or work on a school project with someone you hate. Eventually, after spending enough time together, you will both realize (probably at the exact same time) that the "hate" you initially felt was really "sexual tension."

3. Move back to your hometown. That guy/girl who annoyed you in high school is the one you've always wanted. This works especially well if you live in the deep south, like Texas or Alabama.

4. Get married. Look around your wedding reception at who might be out there. Your new husband/wife's brother, sister, best friend, cousin, florist, or wedding planner is really the one you want.

5. Hire someone to pretend to be your boyfriend/girlfriend in order to impress some other guy/girl. Pretty soon, the "pretending" will get to be too annoying, and you will both just instantly fall in love.

6. Find something you're good at - dancing, spelling, writing, soccer, football, what have you. Teach it to the kid from the wrong side of the tracks. Your forbidden love affair will provide all the heart necessary to win the dance off, soccer game, or whatever else you're trying to accomplish.

7. Join a team that plays a sport you were never sure if you were good at or not. Your coach will find you so talented, he/she will be instantly smitten. The adrenaline caused by these feelings will make you a better player.

8. Write letters, emails, text messages or cryptic notes to someone you don't know. You will eventually realize that you are soulmates.

9. If you're gay, make sure your parents find out and send you to one of those "straighten you out" facilities. There are lots of other sexually frustrated gay kids there, and you're bound to find the one who truly understands your plight. If you're straight, well, you're shit out of luck on this one.

10. If you're a nerdy high school kid, find a boy/girl willing to take you under their wing and show you how to be popular. This usually involves acquiring some contact lenses and a hair straightener. Once you're made yourself pretty, the boy/girl will realize how special you truly are - now that you can toss your hair like the rest of the pretty girls.
