Just because you’ve been hurt before doesn’t mean you have to look for love in all the wrong places.

She can hang with the boys. She won’t be intimidated, uncomfortable, or self-conscious, she’ll be herself.

“My boyfriend asked me why I had a photo of someone else’s boobs on my phone. At least it wasn’t me asking him that question.”

Hitting on us is impossible. You’ll tell us we look great and we’ll reply with how fat we feel in the outfit we’re wearing, and then you’ll probably walk away.

“I can be myself around him without being scared of what he’s thinking.”

When someone breaks your heart you tend to guard it more carefully, but just because one person hurts you, doesn’t mean you should convince yourself that everyone else will do the same.

“A woman has needs, and sometimes the fact that I just met him, I really don’t give a shit.”

“WINE! Because these problems aren’t going to forget THEMSELVES!”

“She’s completely secure with who she is. She doesn’t yell at me for looking at another woman and she doesn’t beg me for compliments like her life depends on my approval.”

When it comes to expectations, it’s not a matter of them being set too high, it’s a matter of not knowing what to expect at all.

Treat her with respect. He won’t have any logical reason to dislike you if you show his sister the love that she deserves.

“I’m impressed by a woman who knows what she wants, and is not afraid to go after it.”

Don’t question their motives, just accept and enjoy that someone is willing to give you the love that you deserve.

Losing the spark. It’s not always the loss of love we’re most afraid of, but the loss of lust, of absolute infatuation, and the bliss of the beginning.

Sometimes we think that certain things are meant to be, which sometimes causes us to deny when certain things aren’t.

She understands when you’re uncomfortable. She’s like your personal Tum for uncomfortable social situations.

“Don’t just stick it in, warm me up first.”

“Do you tell her that I damaged you?”
