“It’s sick how you can be intimate with someone one minute and then be furious with that same person the next.”

“It’s so evident to me now that just because someone is a great guy doesn’t guarantee we’ll make a great couple, no matter how much I work at it and want it.”

“Love is . . . needing to be with this one person. No—it’s more like wanting to need to be with this one person. Last semester my English professor read us this great Robert Frost quotation that went something like, ‘Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.”

“How is it that two people can be in the same relationship and still have completely different ideas of what’s going on?”

“Your love interest becomes the most important thing to you. And if the love is requited, it’s the biggest high in the universe, and you’d be fine never being with anyone else. But if this person doesn’t want you back, well, you pretty much wish you were dead . . . or that that person dies miserable.”

“It goes back to keeping things equal. Friendship feels really demeaning if one person still likes the other more, which is probably what caused the breakup in the first place. It’s such a misnomer that ‘boyfriend’ and ‘girlfriend’ have the word ‘friend’ in them.""I don’t know, Dom. It’s screwed up that people who dug each other enough to go out can’t at least stay friends afterward."Spoken by a true love virgin.”

“It’s so messed up how little control we have over whether we want somebody.”
