Or horror/thrillers

Like a dude appearing in a married woman's life disrupting her marriage and career so she will move to random town she has never heard of for someone she met a week ago.

But since they don't usually involve science or future technology, we should just include the fi... Or fiction for long.

Maybe you have a different understanding of a "romantic film"? Because i think of two characters with chemistry deeply in love with each other, and not some chick-flick.
Otherwise, go fuck yourself.

Via some social connection involving a large number of drag queens (the details of which I'm maddeningly unclear on), my parents first date was when my father took my mother to the Monterey Bay Aquarium to pet the sharks.

... I have lived my entire dating life in the shadow of that one. It's been surprisingly liberating.

Forest Gump? Didn't happen in real life, so it's sci-fi.

Robin Hood? Didn't happen in real life, so it's sci-fi.

Pinocchio? Didn't happen in real life, so it's sci-fi.

Can't tell if troll or idiot.

Most people who call themselves romantics are liars - men and women.

Psy-Fi yes, but Sci-Fi, no. Pls don't turn Sci-Fi into a term for all fantasy fiction....

It's just "fi". AKA "Fiction". Which is what it's already called.

But romance movies involve a premise which doesn't exist in real life: romance.

If it's set after the Scientific Revolution, it's sci-fi, duh

Is it really obvious if people don't see it?

It may but in this case, psychological, which also fits.

It's "ro-fi", or maybe "rom-fi".

Its all romance fiction.
