Date, Rendezvous Quotes

Let's stay together in our place,
And let's drink a couple of glasses of expensive brandy.
Let's remember one thing, how good it was,
How awesome it was, but the time has come.

But that's a load of crap, because nobody is themselves when they start dating. Dating is just acting like you're somebody you're not until the person likes you enough so you can show them who you really are.

Nobody likes dating. It's awkward and uncomfortable. It's expensive.

Dating is stressful. But being alone is worse.

Every date is a disaster. Every relationship is out of control. But if you stick with it, you wind up with someone in your life who will help you when you need to be helped, love you when you do not feel lovable, be with you no matter what.

— You ever going to ask me out, Will?
— I’m just waiting for the right moment.
— That’s good to know. Alright. I’ll see you around.

I’m not going to date anybody else for the rest of my life, I’m not going to love anybody else for the rest of my life. I’m not going to really care about anything else for the rest of my life. I’m waiting for the right moment, Abby, because when I ask you out, it’s going to be the most important moment of my life, and I just want to make sure that I get it right.

Ironic Quotes

See, I have a policy. I won't go out with guys who won't tell me their names. I find it weeds out the ones who like to keep secrets, like they're already married or they store body parts in their freezer.
