Since this article speculates that Roger Ebert originated it but does not specify a year, I thought that I'd put this forward. I believe that John D. MacDonald uses the term in The Long Lavender Look, published in 1970.
I will concede that this article is on a valid topic, but it reads as though it were written by a snarky film critic. It's very editorial and patronizing toward the subject. I am going to cut the text down substantially to make it more straightforward. 24.187.121.126 ( talk) 19:35, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
The article begins, "A meet cute is a fictional scene," but what if such a meeting happens in real life? Even The earliest example given by the article involves a character saying "We met cute," which only makes sense if the phrase can also refer to real-life experiences (unless the character from The Case of the Solid Key is aware of the fact that their story is fictitious). 71.121.143.27 ( talk) 07:46, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
Or is simply saying "we met like in the movies" in a movie. Doesn't make the character extra self-aware. 50.141.164.213 ( talk) 04:07, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
