Help me create a horribly cliched romance scene!

Yes... I know it's a strange request. Usually you try to NOT have it be all cliched. But I have to do it. And unfortunately, I sort of forgot how. ><

So... I need to write a horribly cliched romance scene where a guy confesses his love to his sweetie pie! The guy and his sweet heart are slightly different from each other... he's rich, she's not, etc., but he has discovered after an extended absence that, yes, he does love her. Etc.

Anyway, any tips?

A balcony. It's been a romance cliche for about 400 years now.

Flowers and a Romantic song. Maybe him singing it to her as she leans over the balcony. (see above )

Purple prose - heap it on, and if you're feeling uninspired I'm sure that you can get a helping hand from a cheap romance novel or two. Discribe pooling eyes, a heaving bosom, etc. If they get a little more lovey than glances and pretty words, make sure there's all kinds of flowery dialouge strung through things that most people don't talk during.

Yes...I think 'whispering against her /his lips' is a very overused phrase. (Yuck, by the way. What about bad breath?) And lots of dumb descriptions. Also, have the hero say a lot of stuff about undying love.

Yeah. If you don't mind reading through a bunch of purple prose, look to some airport paperbacks for inspiration. You know, the ones your grandma reads. Use words like "caress" and "tingle." Describe the man as a rogue/having roguish good looks. Give him stubble, even. But he's still handsome. And you can describe people's eyes as "gleaming cerulean orbs" if you want to be really cheesy.

May I ask exactly what possessed you to do this? XD

Have them run to each other through a field of daisies. Dx

Have the guy have black hair that falls around his faces so it "tickled her plump, cherry lips, which were just as tasty as the afore mentioned cherries..." (OK, you can leave off that last bit) and she have long really curly blond hair that's never ugly or wet or anything. And the girl, let's call her Sue, has to wear abnormally tight dresses, all read, and insists on "stroking the manly bristles sprinkled across his ruddy/soft/pimply cheeks" (no pimply xD)

You know, the ones your grandma reads.

:gasp: How do you know my grandma?! (She's got loads of the filthy, cliched things...)

OH, and NAMES!

Give the guy a name like Drake, Coulter, Hunter, and the girl something horribly fancy. Annalise, Mirabella, Maybelle, you get what I mean.

Now I must write a blog rant on cliched romances. XD

Have him swear to preform some sort of quest to prove his love. Bonus points if the things he swears aren't really possible and/or are not applicable to the current time period of your story. ("I'd give you the moon" is a good one, or "I'd walk around the world.")

I second the recommendations of a balcony and a love song. Again, bonus points if he plays guitar and sings to her.

Make the Romeo say something along the lines of:

"I would walk on fire for you!"/"I would walk to the ends of the world for your love."

You know, make him say he would do this and he would do that...for the girl in question.

Have him whisper in her ear softly

When the guy confesses his love, have the women go 'Oh (NAME)'
and then they kiss

Have them kiss in the rain if at all possible. That seems to be pretty popular in movies and books. You can also use "Tall, dark and handsome." as a description for the male.

Yes, there must be rain. Maybe you can throw in the part where they run across the room/beach/road to each other in slow motion.

You could have her pretend to be angry with him but then all her resistance must melt when he pulls her into his arms (which are either toned or rippling with muscles, of course).

Oh, and when they kiss, make SURE that "everything else melts away."

"He pulled her closer, her skin warm against his rough hands. He leant into kiss and felt like all his troubles drizzled away. He was over the moon and he realised he loved her once again depsite there differences.
'Oh my darling,' he whispered, 'It has been so long and I have miss you so and I have now come to realise something. I love you.'
'I love you too,' she smiled feeling like she was floating on cloud nine."

^You get the drift x] Just make it as mushy and as sickening as possible.
