21 " Why did I have to love him so much if we’re not going to end up together? "

22 " 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. "

23 " How is it that two people can be in the same relationship and still have completely different ideas of what’s going on? "
24 " I remember another thing Cosmo said. It typically takes half the time you’re dating a guy to fall out of love with him. My ex and I were together almost ten months before he admitted over the holidays that he’d fallen out of love with me, so by that measure I should’ve been cured weeks ago. But once you’ve anticipated spending forever with someone, I’m not convinced you can ever feel complete after being uncoupled. I think you just learn to live without the person. Like when someone dies, you don’t stop loving them just because they’re not around to love you back anymore. Breakups truly are a kind of death. "
25 " If breakups are like deaths, then ex sightings are like seeing a ghost: you feel goose bumps, near loss of bladder control, and the sensation of your heart bursting in your throat. The distinction is that the ex is alive. "
26 " There’s something about the sight of a gorgeous guy in an open convertible heading in your direction that makes all bad feelings evaporate into thin air. "
27 " If love and hate aren’t true opposites, perhaps neither are pleasure and pain—if you go far enough in one extreme, it resembles the other. "
28 " Amy is so correct that a good personality can make a guy better-looking. "
29 " I think how breakups can bring out the worst in the best people, and part of being upset is mouthing off crap you don’t mean. "
30 " In the same way that a fiancée is a bride-to-be, I’ve always thought a girlfriend is a fiancée-to-be. Yes, most relationships bite the dust before things get long-term. However, that possibility of staying together forever remains the underlying force driving the relationship forward. "
31 " It’s so messed up how little control we have over whether we want somebody. "
32 " Nothing makes you get down on yourself and worry that you’re undesirable like rejection, so having someone desirable desire you is the ultimate antidote. "
33 " Doing things for someone else is what I love most about relationships, even more than having stuff done for me. "
34 " One of the pitfalls of having an ex-boyfriend is that people still pair you together in their memories, and sooner or later someone’s bound to mention him. And now that it has happened . . . I can’t say I feel nothing. I don’t think it’s possible to get royally dumped by the only boy I’ve ever done it with, let alone loved, and then feel nothing when he’s brought up in conversation. "
35 " Whatever age you are when you’re first burned is old enough to lose hope that you’ll ever get excited about anybody else. "
36 " In neuroscience, our textbook showed how the brain scans of people newly in love look a lot like the brain scans of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. In each case, your dopamine is suppressing your serotonin. "
37 " Just because the sexes are equal doesn’t mean that sex is. "
38 " In the beginning, I wanted his heart. Then I shifted focus to his body. I was never interested in only friendship. "
39 " Undressing him reminds me of trying to change a sleepy, uncooperative four-year-old into his pajamas."-Dom "
40 " Did things get a lot hotter between you two? A little stove-top stuffing in the kitchen?"-Amy "
