Here's something we never thought we'd say: Bill Clinton just raised the bar for love stories everywhere.

The former president's Democratic National Convention speech, which clocked in at over 40 minutes, was full of detail about Bill and Hillary's relationship — from the first time they met to the first — yes, first — time he proposed and that time they registered for classes together. But, like, how is a person supposed to remember all those things?

Unfortunately, would-be wooers, it's too late. The internet's dating expectations have already skyrocketed.

And remember: the more detail, the better.
