Alone on Valentines Day? Watch One of These 13 Best Romantic Comedies
All my favorite romantic comedy films have two things in common, a happy ending and encouragement for those of us who may find it difficult to figure out who really is their proper soul mate. Here are 13 films that inspire us to find -- or appreciate -- our true love.

All my favorite romantic comedy films have two things in common, a happy ending and encouragement for those of us who may find it difficult to figure out who really is their proper soul mate.

The characters in these movies are just like us, often making poor choices only to be confronted by the truth that we really belong with someone else — or that our poor choice can turn out to be perfect after all.

Many of these stories remind us that any helpful intuition may be less than obvious in the moment, so fate, synchronicity and destiny must step in to rescue us, propelling us toward our intended love.

Here are 13 films that inspire us to find — or appreciate — our true love.
