Likewise, Book Twitter has had its share of true gems. Earlier this summer, bookish users explained why they would be deleting their dating apps. The trend was to say you’d rather meet someone the old fashioned way (insert witty romance novel anecdote). (My personal fave was “he loves me most ardently, I could never be prevailed upon to marry him.”) Well, friends, Twitter is at it again. This time, users are sharing what they’ve learned from romance novels. Enjoy laughing at this compilation of the top tweets, while also possibly getting some great book recommendations.

If Romance Novels Have Taught Me Anything

Most of these Tweets quote others, so you can get a 2 for 1 laugh! For example, you know what happens when you start fake dating a man AND how said man will smell. Of course, should you end up traveling with a potential love interest, you have to be prepared for the inevitable. Furthermore, be careful when taking on new jobs. Otherwise, you might end up in KJ Charles’s Slippery Creatures. — Rose Lerner (@RoseLerner) August 6, 2021 Are you around a potential love interest in winter? You’d better check your weather app. — Ash Dylan (@AshDylanLit) August 6, 2021 — Jen (@JenReadsRomance) August 6, 2021 Do you have a rich relative? Well, they definitely have ulterior motives when they leave you property. — Scorchingrevs ❤ 📚🌶 (@Scorchingrevs) August 7, 2021 That gorgeous neighbor will wear plaid and notice your beauty when you’re busy appreciating some charming view. — Lisa MacColl (@lisamaccoll) August 7, 2021 Also, if only we could go back to Regency England, we’d surely be well married. — Laurie Batzel (@lbatc2_lou) August 6, 2021 Although we’d have to meet the criteria first. — Manda Collins 🐈🐦🐻 (@MandaCollins) August 6, 2021 And, of course, we must all be ready for THIS moment. (Hopefully the moment isn’t with our new boss.) — India Holton (@IndiaHolton) August 6, 2021 If you’re looking into their eyes when they tuck that hair behind your ear, watch out! — AnaKarina Vorbeck Suarez (@AKwritesnow) August 6, 2021 Be careful, though. These lovers don’t need close proximity to woo you. — Ash Dylan (@AshDylanLit) August 6, 2021 Those crossed arms WILL feature rolled up sleeves. — Melissa Blue, Glorious Purpose (@mel_thegreat) August 6, 2021 If noblemen, rugged small town types, or people amenable to fake dating for mutual gain don’t catch your fancy, don’t worry. Here’s one for fans of Twilight and other books about the hot and undead. — Steve Ammidown is taking a break from here (@stegan) August 6, 2021 Finally, just because you’re not looking for love doesn’t mean it won’t find you. — aunt honey 🖤🥀✨ (@sinnsatinsheets) August 6, 2021 What have romance novels taught you? — Celestine Martin On Hiatus Until Sept 1st (@jellybeanrae) August 6, 2021 — Kristen Casey (@authorkcasey) August 6, 2021
