Even past the boy meets girl setting, the other elements of the story have been used in most configurations. One is rich/both are rich/both are poor, only one is in love/both are in love/they both hate each other until the last chapter, etc.

But even if that is all true, it doesn't mean the particular story can't be original. Ender's Game (for example) used one of the oldest tropes in Scifi, but the story that was told, and how it was told was highly original.
