Romantic movies are popular for a reason. It’s such a joy to watch two people fall in love, even if it’s happening in a fictional world. That said, these films are also known for making some people ask, “Is that kind of love even possible to find in real life?” This is likely what inspired Michelle to ask strangers to share a time when a man showed them great kindness.

“What’s the most beautiful thing a man has ever done for you?” Michelle asks. “And I’m not talking about ‘he bought me flowers.’ I mean the kind of things you see in movies.”

Michelle got far more responses than she could have ever hoped for — and they’re giving hopeless romantics hope. The above comment, from someone named Imorgan, is the perfect example. Rather than leaving her to deal with her depression alone, Imorgan’s significant other went out of his way to make her day even a little brighter.

Sometimes, the best way to express your love is to take notice of the little things. That’s what Donna’s boyfriend did after her dad died. Her dad wasn’t around to carry on the tradition he started, so he did it instead.

Learning a new language, traveling five hours, carrying on traditions — these heartfelt acts of love certainly are ones you would expect to see in a movie. Angel’s man proved himself to be a romantic in a way she never would have guessed… and she didn’t find out until the moment he proposed!

Perhaps there are some movies that can give us the wrong idea of what love looks like. But that doesn’t mean we have to settle, either. When a man loves you, he’ll prove it in ways that have you feeling on top of the world, no matter how big or small the gesture of kindness.
