“Give a girl a boyfriend and she becomes a total expert on relationships”

“If you’re the girl that needs a boyfriend, and once she loses that boyfriend needs to replace it with a different boyfriend, it’s just this constant stream of boyfriends all the time. I don’t feel like I ever want to be that girl. I want to be the girl that when she falls in love, it’s a big deal and it’s a rare thing.”

“If a girl starts out all casual with a guy and she doesn't tell him that she wants a relationship, it will never become a relationship. If you give the guy the impression that casual is okay with you, that's all he'll ever want. Be straight with him from the start. If he gets scared and runs away, he wasn't right for you.”

“She has become an expert at confusing what is with what was with what should be with what could be.”

“Sometimes we call those girls sluts. Do you think she had a boyfriend when she was eight?”

“All she had to protect herself against him was silence, the one skill in which she had become an expert.”
