THIS IS CREEPY!!!
I have developed a disturbing ability to predict random things that will happen in a story.
A while ago, I was reading Terrier, and after the description of this one guy, I was like "Beka will totally end up liking him." And it wasn't all that, it was basically something like "he had blond hair and black eyes." I was right!
The same exact thing happened in Ranger's Apprentice. As soon as I heard the name "Alyss" I thought: "Will and Alyss... the perfect match."

Yeah, I have a tendency to do that, too. In most books with romance, I can tell you who will end up with who just knowing the description.

Romance is uncannily easy to predict. As soon as you meet a boy or two, you can expect the heroine would end up with one of them. I can only tolerate an excess of romance if there are enough plot twists and perhaps enough males who are mere friends and do not waste time mooning over anybody.

Wait, so you predicted that he would have blonde hair and back eyes?

...I wish I could do that. I was actually one of those people who didn't catch on to the fact that (MAJOR HARRY POTTER SPOILER) Ron and Hermione would end up together until literally the moment when they (OTHER MAJOR HARRY POTTER SPOILER) kissed. And it took me years to figure out that there were actual clues; it's just that I'd missed them.
By the way, I like your expression.
