“Want a partner who can make you feel secure and loved, so you can reach your full potential. Someone who can inspire you and encourage you to try again if things don't work out. Someone who loves you for who you are, not who you might turn into, or who you once were.”

“It's so much easier to have a crush on someone who you know isn't going to respond-it makes it nice and safe and you never have to humiliate yourself by getting knocked back.”

“There is something rather sexy about men who knew exactly what they are talking about. Men who might not be conventionally attractive, but who are obviously highly competent at their jobs.”

“Great friendships are like cell phones, you do not know why they work but are so glad that they do.”

“My golden rule has always been to look on the bright side, no matter what. With all the complications in my life, I had to. Because if you can find three good things in any given situation, no matter how dire, I guarantee you'll forget the rotten stuff.”

“Appearances can be deceptive. Just because someone has a generous chest and a romantic nature doesn't mean they're EASY.”

“The best friendships are like mobile phones, I think--you can't explain exactly how they work, but you're just relieved they do.”
