In our humble quest to find a Valentine’s Day campaign that didn’t leave us feeling sick or pressured, we came across Don Hertzfeldt‘s 1995 classic Ah l’Amour.

The video illustrates one small stick figure’s attempt to find romance. Thankfully, he has a lot of lives to spare. In the end, there’s only one realistic way to win a little stick woman’s heart – and no, it’s not sex. Weird, right? Because, like, sex gets us every time.
