What does Fish Out of Water mean– in reference to romance – In the romance genre, the Fish Out of Water trope refers to a character who finds themselves in an unfamiliar or uncomfortable environment, often feeling out of place or unprepared for the challenges ahead. This could be someone moving from a big city to a small town, entering a different culture, or navigating a new social class. The tension of being outside their comfort zone creates both humorous and heartwarming moments, while the romance develops as they adapt, grow, and ultimately find love in unexpected places.
