Bridget Jones's Diary-Inspired Philosophy

If you do not know already, I am in love with the film Bridget Jones's Diary.
I love it. I love everything about it.
From watching this film I have developed a theory, or even a philosophy perhaps.
In order to win the heart of another (whether platonic or romantic) you must (or should) practice what was exemplified by Colin Firth's character, Mark Darcy--when he looked Bridget straight in the eye (no smile. totally awkward, but with absolute perfection) and said "I like you--very much--just as you are."
I don't mean execute a cheesy line in the most awkward way possible, but learn to like people just the way they are.

  1. One of my favorite movie lines from from either the first movie or the second one, when Bridget is moping (as usual) and she checks her phone for messages and the automatic voice in a British accent goes:

    "You have absolutely no messages. Not a single one. Not even from your mother."
