Romantic Quote that I'm Going to be Using Soon.

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

If Marvin plans to address AE's alleged girlfriend as "WOMAN" and inform her that he "LIKES [HER] FACE", I don't think AE has anything to worry about. ;)

Here is another romantic quote pertaining to laughter.
He laughs at my dreams, but I dream of his laugher.
This one makes no sense to me. How could you possibly be "in love" with someone who laughs at your dreams? People are confusing.

The far more likely explanation.

You’re assuming the laughter is negative. Maybe they were funny dreams.

But then wouldn't it say, "He laughs at my dreams, and I dream of his laugh?" The 'but' has a negative implication.

He's probably sweet-talked her blind.

It should, but these sayings like to use 'but' whenever they can, even if it doesn't give the right impression under scrutiny, because it makes them sound more lovey-dovey or however you want to describe it. Because it does give a moment of discontinuity, which apparently makes them sound unbelievably romantic on first thought. The problem being that it also makes them completely fall apart on second thought, but I don't think you're supposed to give them a second thought.

It falls apart on the first read. "He laughs at my dreams. .BUT I dream of his laugh." The word 'but' is an eye-catcher, personally.

It's just silly.

Yeah, but it's supposed to be an eye-catcher. That subconscious jar that 'but' makes is what gives these sayings their appearance of sweetness. You're supposed to realize there's a bump there, you're just not supposed to actually think about it, because then you realize that 'but' is a negative bump which ruins the feeling you're supposed to get.

If you're not supposed to think about it, then you shouldn't bother reading it in the first place :noway:

Besides, it's so saccharine, even if it doesn't make any sense. People need to be more creative and wittier \:D/
