| - Bob sits at a booth in a pub, looking around. Everyone seems to have someone to talk to, and he spots Alice at the bar. Putting on his best smile, he heads over, desperate to just make some conversation. And then Alice turns around. The screen goes soft and hazy, the romantic music starts up. Bob is amazed, and realizes that this may well be the single most momentous thing to happen in his life. He imagines minivans. He imagines children. Even a little white picket fence. Bob opens his mouth and says a romantic "Lemons are very nice, especially in the summertime."

| - Bob sits at a booth in a pub, looking around. Everyone seems to have someone to talk to, and he spots Alice at the bar.

Bob is amazed, and realizes that this may well be the single most momentous thing to happen in his life. He imagines minivans. He imagines children. Even a little white picket fence. Bob opens his mouth and says a romantic "Lemons are very nice, especially in the summertime." He has been struck by gibberish of love. Sometimes caused by Distracted by the Sexy or a Hello, Nurse!, it doesn't even have to be a sentence using words -- plain noises work just as well. Occassionally happens if Twice Shy style love interests attempt conversation. When the gibberish is coherent, but unfortunate, they're often Digging Themselves Deeper afterward. Usually male, and often happens to Adorkable characters. Sometimes immediately lampshaded with something along the lines of "X...smooth...". May be a habit of the Shrinking Violet. Compare Love Makes You Dumb and Love Makes You Crazy. Compare and contrast Angrish. See also I Uh You Too (for when the relationship's evolved a bit before the gibberish), Cannot Spit It Out, and Crush Blush. Examples of Gibberish of Love include:
