On Valentine's Day, there is a high chance that couples will enjoy a nice dinner, send gifts, and remind each other about how happy they are together. Along with that comes watching a movie on Netflix or another streaming service. The film is most likely going to be a romantic comedy or chick flick that many guys will have a difficult time getting through. There is a solution to enjoying a good film without the suffering that goes with it. Here are 10 romantic movies with enough funny situations that even guys will want to watch during the holiday.

1. "Love Actually"

This is one of the films that guys will enjoy watching because there is no crazy drama, bizarre love triangles, or bad acting. The movie is centered on 10 different love stories including close friendships, family connections, and romantic encounters. The mix of comedy and the strengthening of bonds create a film that couples might want to make a tradition every Valentine's Day.

2. "Jerry Maguire"

Here is a classic romantic comedy that includes something that many guys seem to enjoy (besides pizza, beer, and frat parties) during their college years: sports. When you mix that with the hilarious escapades of Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding Jr., the result is a movie that tells a great story about how love can help a guy change and improve as a person.

3. "Say Anything"

This one tells another story about relationships that couples actually relate (obviously since it was directed by Cameron Crowe who also made "Jerry Maguire") and connect with. Instead of just telling a cliche romance movie about first loves, this film is also a coming-of-age story. Couples will understand the problems that they need to overcome, while men specifically will recognize that it takes growth and commitment to understand the needs of someone they care about.

4. "Silver Linings Playbook"

Any guy who is a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles or Jennifer Lawrence will like this movie. Not only because the film was shot in Philadelphia (in just 33 days), but just like "Jerry Maguire," it does a wonderful job of combining romance with sports. The story involves two people who are dealing with issues in their lives (physically and mentally) and they need to overcome their problems by being there for each other, just like real couples learn how to do.

5. "Garden State"

College girls and guys will like this movie since it's centered on discovering who you are. For couples who are starting a relationship in which either person is struggling to appreciate their lives, this is a great movie. It is a romance film, but has a deeper meaning than that. Each person that sees it has a different reaction about love, and that is something that makes this movie so interesting.

6. "(500) Days of Summer"

This movie is unlike other romance films, which makes it a good watch. Guys and their girlfriends will like it since the movie revolves around finding love, heartbreak, and staying in a relationship. The film itself tries to reveal the meaning of love, but even if those who are viewing it might have their own description, it is something that cannot really be defined.

7. "Definitely, Maybe"

Although this movie qualifies as a chick flick, there is no reason for guys to panic. Sure, there is more romance, but the emotions and humor delivered by Ryan Reynolds (exactly why he made an excellent "Deadpool") make this film a classic. Also, couples will be able to relate to the connection that is made with Reynold's character and the girl that he meets.

8. "In Good Company"

This movie contains a variety of talented actors, including Dennis Quaid, Topher Grace (occasionally), and Scarlett Johannson, but the story is what makes this film enjoyable to watch by both girls and guys. Compared to other romance movies, this one does not focus entirely on the chemistry between friends or the relationships themselves but understanding the things that people need the most in life.

9. "Safety Not Guarenteed"

If couples are looking for a romantic comedy movie that is fun and ordinary, this is the one. The scenes are more realistic than most chick flicks, and men can relate to the same feelings they get when discovering love for the first time.

10. "The Wedding Singer"

Even if you are not a fan of Adam Sandler movies (he used to be funnier), this is one of his best performances that is worth checking out. Sandler combines humor and romance in a well-told story that will surprise audiences since he is known for many bizarre comedies now. The movie is sweet and fun, with funny moments, and has a nice playlist of music, which will give couples a desire to laugh and dance along. If you take all of that (plus a cameo by Billy Idol), you've got yourself an enjoyable romantic comedy that is perfect for Valentine's Day or movie night.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
