movies and love

so I just watched the movies when in rome and leap year and i know this may seem crazy but what's so wrong about wanting to have the love that is in the movies. i have had people tell me that its not real its not possible but my rebuttal is that someone had to think of the movie for it to exist so forgive me if i believe the potential exists to live and experience true love.
yes i understand that an hour and forty five minutes is not enough time to create and experience love but its a great starting point when your goal is to achieve the real thing.
i sometimes worry about whether or not i will ever get married but i am more afraid of being married or committed to the wrong person.
so the decision is to either be happy for as long as happiness allows or be content until contenment is not enough?
i am not blind to the fact that marriage is more than just love but i do believe that we have lost love in our need for everything right now society.
i've looked for love in all the wrong places but what i've learned from these "chick flicks" is that they have a main theme when the female stopped looking for love, love was able to find her.
so as i transition into another stage of my life (i just turned 31) i need to focus on the other areas of my life that bring me joy and happiness - getting into the peace corps, my family, my friends and creating a legacy that lasts way after i am gone. my thought is that while i get busy living my life love will find its way into my life.
