I have never been anywhere close to being in a relationship and I pretty well agree with you.

There's not that many romantic movies I like. I usually really don't like pure romantic movies. They are much too sappy and I just can't stomach them. Especially so many go "love at first sight" and that REALLY bugs me. Don't get me started.

Romantic comedies I can take a little more, although I don't like a lot of them. Even if the premise seems like I'd like it, something in the movie just does it wrong for me and makes me want to stop watching before it's done.

I love romance, and tropes/cliches and all that. It's just the movies seem to do it in a way I don't like/find wrong :(

Also if anyone knows a movie where there's a female lead and she ends up with the quirky/nice guy rather than the jerk/bad boy/play boy please tell me. (Not holding my breath)

OP has mentioned My Big Fat Greek Wedding as a romantic movie she actually likes and I think that one fits the bill.

This is also my favourite trope in written romantic fiction. I hate it when the tall, dark handsome man who acted distantly throughout the narrative is the surprise! hero at the end. Ugh. Pride and Prejudice being the only exception. (And P&P only works because Darcy reveals himself as an idiot dork during his proposal, but that's another topic.)

I'm going to suggest Clueless as another great romcom that's actually not annoying at all.

You're joking right? This is an actual trope.

Bridget Jones's Diary (A Huge Favourite by most romantic comedy lovers)
Picture Perfect (I loved this when I was thirteen, but you know ... I was thirteen)
Legally Blonde (I will never stop loving this movie)
While You Were Sleeping (It's cute)

Did you mean that they have to have a love triangle?

Sleepless in Seattle (Its been too long I can't remember if it has a love triangle)
When Harry Met Sally
Clueless (not a real triangle) Teen
Drive Me Crazy (Nice guy helps girl, girl choose nice guy in the end—twice, there is more than one girl that makes this choice.) Teen
Never Been Kissed (No triangle) Teen
Bring it On (Teen)
Juno (No triangle) Teen
27 Dresses (I don't remember a triangle)
13 Going On 30
10 Things I Hate About You (This is multi point of view though) Teen
Catch and Release
Safety Not Guaranteed (I'm not 100% who the "main" character is on this one either.)

I mean, when the girl is the lead, that is pretty much what happens in the movie.

I don't watch a lot of romantic comedies though, so maybe I just happen to choose the ones with this trope.

One of my favourite romantic comedies is Love Actually, and though all those characters I see as nice, since there are so many stories going on they don't go too much farther than "Someone likes this person" and then...well, it's different for each story. Two of them might be seen as "love at first sight" but I had always seen them as "attraction at first sight".

10 Things I Hate About You is my all-time favorite high school drama/rom-com. And I'm like the OP and normally hate rom-coms.

Don't get me started on Crazy Stupid Love. Just don't.

While You Were Sleeping is kind of this

Desperately Seeking Susan
Sense and Sensibility
Legally Blonde
Easy A
Wimbledon

The Thing Called Love doesn't quite fit - she doesn't really end up with either the jerk or the nicer guy (that has some real jerk moments), instead it ends with them all trying to be friends
