When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.
I'm wide open to getting married, but actors are not easy people to date. You end up sharing that person with this other mistress that is their career. I very much like the traditional courtship method of making a date. That's what they do in normal places, but Hollywood's not normal.
I'm not in love, but I'm open to persuasion.
When you are young, do not get involved in steady dating. When you reach an age where you think of marriage, then is the time to become so involved.
They dream in courtship, but in wedlock wake.
A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.
Every time I read a Jane Austen novel, I feel like a bartender at the gates of heaven.
Love is a competition. If you don't think so, then you're crazy, because why are you dressing up, why are you wearing those heels, why are you wearing that $400 perfume? Why are you shaving your chest and eating 40,000 egg whites?
Follow a shadow, it still flies you, Seem to fly, it will pursue: So court a mistress, she denies you; Let her alone, she will court you. Say are not women truly, then, Styled but the shadows of us men?
At least in cities where the Confederate Army established a base of operations, young women were overwhelmed by the number of prospective suitors. Thousands of men flocked to the Confederate capital of Richmond, prepared to work in one of the government departments or to train for duty in the Army.
I've never dated; I've always been in relationships.
The art of love is largely the art of persistence.
I like dressing up for dates and dissecting a dinner conversation with a new guy to determine if he might be The One.
To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love.
Everybody dates these days. Like you get to know someone before you end up getting married, committing for a lifetime relationship. So dating is cool, date as much as you want, get to know the person.
Dating has never been something I've done. It's never been a part of my life.
Each coming together of man and wife, even if they have been mated for many years, should be a fresh adventure; each winning should necessitate a fresh wooing.
It's fun to solve a mystery, but it's even more fun to watch two people kind of dance around a relationship and be playful with each other.
I found that if I offered to cook for a girl, my odds improved radically over simply asking a girl out. Through my efforts to attract the opposite sex, I found that not only did cooking work, but that it was actually fun.
'Dating Game' wasn't social commentary, political analysis, Shakespearean-level drama or even blunt-force comedy. It was just the televised equivalent of meeting someone at a bar. But it appealed to our most basic Darwinian instinct: selecting a good mate. You can't go wrong when a show's premise is hard-wired into human DNA.
I took my time to find the perfect girl.
The pleasantest part of a man's life is generally that which passes in courtship, provided his passion be sincere, and the party beloved kind with discretion. Love, desire, hope, all the pleasing emotions of the soul, rise in the pursuit.
I wonder, by my troth, what thou and I Did, till we lov'd?
I try to woo the person whom I love. Even a good morning call to start the day is good enough for me.
I don't understand why every guy is not a romantic. I enjoy it.
