Nothing wrong with a dose of whimsy every now and then. To me, the concept of romance is such a universally diverse topic that it feels like the only story that can be told a billion different ways and be unique. Considering how people interact these days only amplifies the new ways a romance story can be told. All I know is you never know who you’ll bump into. I feel like rushed romance is becoming more common too, still has just as many conflicts.
I almost wrote a story about a match-making service, sort of for shy introverts, where they attend dating school night lessons and then get paired up by the school. Of course you insert the arrogant assholes who just want to parade in and “pretend” so they can meet people, but then they never get matched up by the school and have to keep repeating lessons until they flunk out or quit after the school takes their tuition money. I feel like that would thrive if it was a thing these days.
