I remember a romantic/comic situation that I associate with Wally Cox, either in a movie or the TV show, Mr. Peepers. He'd been told that there was a secret way to make someone fall in love with him and that was to look into her eyes and concentrate, thinking the words, "I love you madly with all my heart and soul." This sure-fire method worked all too well when he practiced it on women he didn't really care for, just trying it out before he'd use it on the girl he really loved. When he finally got the chance to use it on his lady love, it had no affect. In the final scene when he goes back to complain to whoever told him about this secret, he's told, "It only works on women who don't care for you. It has no affect on the person who already truly loves you." And then the show ends with an astonished look on Mr. Peepers' face.
I was quite young when this show aired, but it made a lasting impression. So much so, that I used the technique myself years later and it worked exactly as described. In my own experience, after extricating myself from a few practice relationships, I found the lady it didn't work on (the one who already truly loved me) and I married her.
Does anyone recognize this storyline?
