This is more a reminder for myself than anything else. I'm so, so, SO VERY TIRED of FL's being dumb when it comes to romance.
"He could never be interested in me! It must be because of this dumb reason!"
It's a cliche that I really can't stand. Once is annoying. Any more than that, and it usually becomes a reoccurring plot point. Also can't stand when they're completely oblivious to their own feelings. "Why is my face hot? Why is my heart racing?" I had full awareness what a crush was at 6. You're telling me that between the ages of 16-20+ you can't grasp the concept of romantic feelings at all? That immediately takes me out of a story.
