No, you got me, I am not 100% that there is one present in Catch 22, but, then, that begs the question as to why they would choose to begin the story that particular way.
If you think so, you probably need to read more stories about romance to challenge your assumptions. You just sound like a teenager who thinks romance is "only for girls".

(Even though it takes two to tango and there's barely a major literary writer in existence who hasn't written about romantic relationships in some way shape or form. Human experiences. Life, death, love, faith, etc... Major themes for a reason.)
