Honestly, I would rather punch myself in the throat repeatedly than deal with this kind of negativity.

“

I’ve had friends that called me a guy straight out of a Nicholas Sparks book. But I don’t feel it. I’ve never had that happy ending those books always have. I’m a nice guy.

“

That thing where you’re walking together on the sidewalk, you’re closer to the street and he’s on the inside. Then he steps behind you and to the outside, sweeping you in, ensuring you’re a tiny bit safer from stray vehicles.

“

A relationship is all about give and take but in the end—you both deserve to have the opportunity to pursue your dreams. You should be encouraging each other, not resenting each other for feeling held back.

“

Um.

“

Nice guys exist. Believe me they do, because I have realised that I have been looking in all the wrong places. Instead I should have been looking in the direction where I have never looked before.

“

Tell him you love him, and mean it with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your spirit, before somebody else will.

“

He lets you know how he’s feeling.

“

You don’t owe a ‘nice guy’ a thing. They expect you to love them after they compliment you. They expect you to have sex with them after they shower you with gifts. They expect you to marry them just because they asked. But, you don’t owe them a single thing.

“

Stop trying so hard to be nice and be yourself.
