“This type of honesty is what I like to call too-much-information-way-too-quickly, and MOST guys don’t like it. To them, you may come off as a bit of a nut job, because everything you tell him is being evaluated by his limited experience with you.”— Bruce Bryans, amazon.com
“You see, if a man is just getting to know you better but you’re too much of an open book, meaning, you reveal everything about yourself too soon, you’ll either scare him away or he’ll lose interest.

“I’ve learned that you can’t predict [love] or plan for it. For someone like me who is obsessed with organization and planning, I love the idea that love is the one exception to that. Love is the one wild card.”— Taylor Swift, taylorswift.com
“I write a lot of songs about love and I think that’s because to me love seems like this huge complicated thing. But it seems like every once in a while, two people get it figured out, two people get it right. And so I think the rest of us, we walk around daydreaming about what that might be like. To…”— Taylor Swift, taylorswift.com

“I think it’s healthy for everyone to go a few years without dating, just because you need to get to know who you are.

Or if you were with them at all…”— Taylor Swift, teenvogue.com
“The way I look at love is you have to follow it, and fall hard, if you fall hard. You have to forget about what everyone else thinks. It has to be an us-against-the-world mentality. You have to make it work by prioritizing it, and by falling in love really fast, without thinking too hard. If I think…”— Taylor Swift, eonline.com
“I'm the kind of person who needs all her time to be worth the energy. Let's say I date a guy who really does nothing but damage me. And you've spent time, you've spent effort, and you've put everything into trying to make that work. And it didn't. So you write a song about it. It was worth everythin…”— Taylor Swift, eonline.com
