I like well-written romantic comedies?... You guys need to watch more 1930s/'40s movies, that's what.

Word. And just good movies with romance in them that some people might not call "romantic comedies" because it is such a negatively charged phrase but they are still, in the literal sense, romantic comedies. /opinions.

On the general topic of playing hard to get:

"We can all begin freely—a slight preference is natural enough; but there are very few of us who have heart enough to be really in love without encouragement." Charlotte Lucas, Pride and Prejudice

(I'm rewatching the 1980 BBC version and this line struck me as pertinent to the conversation.)
