"I love a man with a great sense of humor and who is intelligent - a man who has a great smile. He has to make me laugh. I like a man who is very ambitious and driven and who has a good heart and makes me feel safe. I like a man who is very strong and independent and confident - that is very sexy - but at the same time, he's very kind to people."

Lauren Conrad"I am dating, but it is hard to find someone quick enough and funny enough. I am quite demanding."

Christina Hendricks"Growing up, I didn't get the talk of 'Make sure boys take you on a date and treat you right.' So I was the girl who wasn't dating and would just text. I dated these guys who didn't have jobs, and I would always be paying. At one point, I remember looking in the mirror and thinking, 'You're too pretty and cool to be treated like this.'"
Meghan Trainor"The difference between being a part-time writer and a full-time writer is like the difference between dating someone and living with them. Some of the romance is gone, but you learn things you'd never know just by dating."

Tavi Gevinson"Wells Fargo's internal review only covers unauthorized accounts dating back to 2011. News reports and court documents suggest these problems might have existed long before then. The 2013 'Los Angeles Times' articles led to the L.A. city attorney's office investigation into Wells Fargo's sales practices."

Winona Ryder"As far as dating is concerned, I'm not a casual dating person."
Divyanka Tripathi"I think feminism's a bit misinterpreted. It was about casting off all gender roles. There's nothing wrong with a man holding a door open for a girl. But we sort of threw away all the rules, so everybody's confused. And dating becomes a sloppy, uncomfortable, unpleasant thing."

Hyuna"I can't imagine dating someone famous. I try to stay away from that as much as I can."

Rosario Dawson"Coy Wire played in the NFL for 9 years and is now a motivational speaker and has a book out called 'Change Your Mind.' He is an amazing person with such positive energy! When Kroy and I first met and started dating, there weren't a whole lot of people that supported us, but Coy always did. -Kim Zolciak"

Gina Neely"There's kind of no rhyme or reason to what is appealing to any given actor. It just is, or it isn't. It's kind of like dating. You either connect to someone or you don't. You can't really say why."
Katherine Waterston"Dating is pretty hard, since I'm always on the road."
Stella Maxwell"If you look at Gothic detailing right down to the bottom of a column or the capital of a column, it's a small version of the whole building; that's why, like dating the backbones of a dinosaur, a good historian can look at a detail of a Gothic building and tell you exactly what the rest of the building was, and infer the whole from the parts."
Charles Jencks"People tend to look at dating sort of like a safari - like they're trying to land the trophy."

Chris Messina"You like someone, you court each other, you get into a relationship. You're answerable to each other. Whereas, the non-answerability of dating, my God, I don't know if I would ever be able to."
Priyanka Chopra"Being a club pro and all, a guy trying to keep up with golf's modern technology, I hadn't found much time for Internet dating, but then one day I knew I'd met the girl of my dreams when she replied to a comment I'd made on You-and-Me.com. She said, 'I love it when you talk equipment to me.'"
Dan Jenkins"I had to find a diet that would kick me back into dating shape, because I know that I can't date at size 8. I have to date at size 2. And it's just a fact of nature. Go get your injections and your chemical peels. You gotta look good to attract a man."
Patti Stanger"Oh, my dating skills are the worst. No, I pick the wrong men; it's amazing. I am awful, the worst dater."
Paget Brewster"I don't want to be one of those 40-something guys in L.A. still dating, still going out to clubs and chasing 21-year-olds. It's not a good look."

Margot Robbie"Honestly, my dating life according to the tabloids is very exciting, and the most hilarious thing is that it's nowhere near as exciting as the tabloids have ever made it out to be."

Amber Riley"I don't like going out on a date unless I know the broad a little bit beforehand. By the way, 'broad' to me is not a detrimental term for women; it's simply another word for female. Anyway, I don't really go out a whole lot, because there aren't many girls I like to take out and spend a whole evening with - at least not an evening in public."
Joe Namath"Thank God I never got in a fight. All of the jock dudes hated me, but all of their girlfriends thought I was nice so they wouldn't touch me. It was infuriating to them."

Chris Rea"Good-looking individuals are treated better than homely ones in virtually every social situation, from dating to trial by jury."
Martha Beck"Evolution is unobservable. It's based on blind faith in a few dry bones and on unreliable dating systems in which the gullible trust. Kids should be allowed to make up their own minds about this issue, and not be censored to 'one side is all we will let you hear.'"
Ray Comfort"I've spoken to over 10,000 guys in my career, so I know what they think when it comes to dating."

When you sit down across from someone on a first date and things are going alright, you talk objectives. We want to win each other over, so how do you win someone over? You have to put the best foot forward."
Chris Pine"Whenever you have an ex, and they're like, 'I hope we can still be friends!' and you weren't friends before you started dating, then what do you go back to, really?"
Ed Sheeran"The very phrase 'Oscar night' used to accelerate my pulse. For one thing - dating myself - it meant Bob Hope. He always had good, strong jokes, that faultless delivery, and always a new joke about his own films' failure - once again - to be honored."
Dick Cavett"I have an urge to communicate. I think I'm a change from what it would be like dating a normal guy who doesn't talk too much."
Drake"A lot of close friends and family members have got married through online dating. I don't think it would be wise for me to do it."
Daisy Lowe"I'm honest about the journey I've been on, so I definitely don't take dating lightly anymore."
Demi Lovato"'Dating In The Dark' is a unique show that is going to bring something very new to the table for the audiences. The format will make people look beyond the general dating norms of our society: who knows, maybe even reinvent them."
Nora Fatehi"I'm in love with love and totally believe in marriage, but that's not even on my radar right now. I am not putting energy into dating."
Selena Gomez"I'm often dating people, but I don't say it because you sort of know it won't last long."
Graham Norton"I'm finally dating. It's fun."
Kristin Chenoweth"I grew up in the world of bad television, on my dad's sets and then as a young schmuck on dating shows and so on."
George Clooney"I'm not saying dating is sinful, and I'm not saying a guy and a girl should never spend time alone together. I'm saying let's wait until we can be purposeful, so there's a reason behind our relationship, and we're not just stirring up passion for the sake of a good time."
Joshua Harris"I've never tried to pass myself off as anything more than a comedian who wrote a dating book."
Greg Behrendt"Were I to put myself on... one of those online dating things, I would not include in my profile that I'm regularly hospitalized for psychosis. But I do know that when I get really bad, there is a place for me to go where I will feel better."
Marya Hornbacher"I put my family first, and that's why for a long time, you didn't see me dating or hear about me dating or hear about me out. I had other focuses in my life, and that would be my family and my work."
Kimora Lee Simmons"I want a guy I can go hiking with, who wants to do outdoorsy stuff. It's so much fun to be out in nature and who better to do that with than the person you're dating?"
Adrianne Palicki"I really like dating stories, like in Betty and Veronica comics; I like David Lynch and H.P. Lovecraft for the dark gut-wrenching stuff, and I'm inspired by Miyazaki's films for the subtle heart-warming moments, as well as the moments that blew up my imagination."
Fred Seibert"I was a weird teenager. My mother was actually worried because I didn't have any interest in dating in my teenage years. I had all this desire to pursue my passions like ballet, then sailing, then music, so I didn't have any emptiness to fill."
Kiesza"I did Internet dating for a while, and that is rife with horrible dating stories."
Allison Tolman"What does 'dating' mean? I don't know. I couldn't say."
Catherine Hardwicke"I just thank God my husband and I found each other before the advent of social media. I can't imagine dating someone and seeing what they're doing on their Facebook page. And people breaking up with each other over texts now? We had to break up with each other face to face back then."
Jen Lancaster"It's not that I find it hard to meet girls - they do come up and chat me up from time to time. Sometimes I'm interested, I tend not to go for the prettier ones. I prefer the quirkier types."
Rupert Grint"Up until age 40, most men are just not as mature as women. So, it makes sense that a lot of women date up in age a bit."
Patti Stanger"I haven't been brought down because people are focused on who I'm dating, what I'm eating, or what handbag is the best handbag - that's so cheap to me. But if others want to open up about their personal lives, that is their choice. It's not for me to judge."
Garrett Clayton"I remembered, like, when 'Not When My Daughter' came out, I'm serious, I think dating for Iranian men became a lot harder. Dude's name, Shahrokh - became Tony. Mehsud became Mike."
Maz Jobrani"I try not to read the stuff online because it's so hurtful and stuff. There was somebody that said I was messing up my genetics by dating my boyfriend because he's not black. It was an interesting thing to read."
Taylour Paige"My boyfriend and I are not good at fighting. We're better than we were when we started dating - two breakups and three years ago - but it's never come naturally to either of us. I have often wished we fought like I imagine Pink and Carey Hart fight."
Nikki Glaser"Dating is different when you get older. You're not as trusting, or as eager to get back out there and expose yourself to someone."
Toni Braxton"While I am aware of no counsel on whether kissing should be reserved only for post-mission dating or courtship, I am aware of plenty of counsel concerning honesty in our actions and treating others with respect and kindness. Casual attitudes about expressions of affection such as kissing can cause much grief and heartache."
John Bytheway"I think in order to really create something special, it has to be built on some foundation. And I think friendship is a good foundation you could always tap back on if you don't agree. So for me, it's not dating, it's more so friendship."
Omarion"The presence of industrial quantities of Byzantine pottery dating from the sixth century AD on the headland at Tintagel, Chinese silk in the tombs around Mecca and 'Arabic' numerals in the 13th-century beams of Salisbury Cathedral tell us we have been interdependent not for decades but across millennia."
Bettany Hughes"I like to think I'll just be walking down the street one day and stop and meet someone, like, 'Oh my God, you're awesome,' and then we start dating."
Laura Prepon"I don't have a type. But one thing I can say from my dating experience is that a physical attraction will only take you so far. So you definitely have to have a strong intellectual connection as well."
Jesse Metcalfe"The funniest thing is I never understood why actors were so shady about who they're dating. Then I realized the things you say get printed and the people you're involved with read them. That's what's tricky. Nothing goes unnoticed. I don't want to get myself in trouble!"
Emily Meade"I'd been dating my husband for about a year, and I'd already kissed George Clooney, Ashton Kutcher and Gerard Butler. Awesome year, right?"
Judy Greer"I was dating a guy that was a huge wrestling fan and I'm embarrassed to say it now but I used to make fun of him for watching it."
Torrie Wilson"I always hated high-school shows and high-school movies, because they were always about the cool kids. It was always about dating and sex, and all the popular kids, and the good-looking kids. And the nerds were super-nerdy cartoons, with tape on their glasses. I never saw 'my people' portrayed accurately."
Paul Feig"People say, 'Just say who you're dating. Then people will stop being so ravenous about it.' It's like, No they won't! They'll ask for specifics."
Kristen Stewart"I think that dating other musicians can be complicated at times. Especially when they think highly of themselves."
Nick Jonas"The earliest example known to me of replaced body parts is exemplified by a Mayan skull dating back to 1400 BC. In this skull, false teeth made of stone had been implanted."
John Gurdon"I tried to tell them about the dating process because I'm single now and how horrible it is and how many foolish experiences I had had dating. So I was really selling him hard, but the whole time he really wanted me!"
Andie MacDowell"I can't imagine dating a boy, meeting him only outside the home. What's a home and family for if it's not the center of one's life?"
Loretta Young"I also find it interesting that a lot of people in their 30s are not married and don't have kids. There are a lot of people in this age bracket that are out there dating and trying to find love. And I never thought that at my age I would be."
John Stamos"I can't wait for my little sisters to start dating, because it will really be fun to pick on their boyfriends."
David Gallagher"I have very little experience with dating websites. My feeling toward dating websites is what most people's is: If it works, great. If you're serious and legitimate about it and know what you're looking for, then from what I hear, it's definitely effective."
Nev Schulman"I don't really comment on my personal life because I feel like any comment at all is opening up a whole can of worms. I'd just rather not talk about who I'm dating."
Josh Hartnett"If I've been dating someone for, say, five months, and she cheats on me, I don't think it would be worth it. I'm not committed enough to the situation to give her a second chance."
Avan Jogia"It's difficult dating as an actor because your free time is precious. The guy I end up with someday is going to have to love traveling."
Serinda Swan"I'm dating a very high-maintenance career."
Aimee Garcia"Dating is fun. It's light: There's courting; there's the interesting, exciting text messaging and flirting. There's no weight. When you start getting into relationships, you really start having to consider each other in your lives, and I think that's really important."
Denise Vasi"In Indonesia, where I am from, the Dutch-imposed Civil Code dating back to the colonial 1870s prevailed until the 1974 Law on Marriage granted married women greater rights, including the ability to open individual bank accounts."
Sri Mulyani Indrawati"There are big parts of my life that I don't share. I don't share myself eating dinner with my family. I don't talk about who I'm dating. That's private; that's me."
Ansel Elgort"If you're a good Amish girl, you're courting, you have three or four different beaus, and you go out and stay out all night. That's just their tradition. They date under the covering of night. No one knows who they're dating or seeing until two weeks before they're going to be married. It's how they've done it for 300 years."
Beverly Lewis"I have a distinct memory, dating back to 1989 or so, of sitting around with my college dorm mates talking about a new term that was popping up everywhere: 'political correctness.'"
Meghan Daum"Last year my boyfriend gave me a painting - a very personal one. I really prefer personal gifts or ones made by someone for me. Except diamonds. That's the exception to the rule."
Minnie Driver"Am I still interested in a guy's body? Now that I have grown up, I am much more of a 'vibe' kind of person! If a man has a good body, that is an added plus."
Carmen Electra"Things were a lot simpler in Detroit. I didn't care about anything but boyfriends."
Madonna Ciccone"People could rationally decide that prolonged relationships take up too much time and effort and that they'd much rather do other kinds of things. But most people are afraid of rejection."
Albert Ellis"I'd got to that age when I was out on a date with a guy and I would be thinking: Don't mention your age, don't mention that you want a child - because they would just run out the door."
Denise Van Outen"The trail of dating sites relying heavily on Facebook is littered with failures."
Sunil Nagaraj"I wouldn't mind telling my five good friends that I'm dating, but I don't want my loose connections to know."
Sunil Nagaraj"When I first got started in this whole world of online connecting, we were combating this antiquated stereotype of who used online dating, and we really set out to make it popular with millennials. What I find to be so fascinating now is, I'm seeing an inverse in that trend."
Whitney Wolfe Herd"I truly believe that what we're seeing with online dating is very similar to what happened with the Myspace-Facebook era, where Myspace was once this place for online connecting for a very select group of young people. And then Facebook kind of hit at this moment where it was acceptable for everybody to do it."
Whitney Wolfe Herd"When I left Tinder, I had no intention of getting back into the dating industry. What I ultimately wanted to do was start this contagious complimentary social network, where kindness was at the helm."
Whitney Wolfe Herd"There's nothing wrong with taking yourself out of the dating pool. You don't need to be in a relationship because that's what society expects of you or because your grandmother thinks you need to be married by a certain date. Those days are over. Instead, take a step back and say, 'I'm OK alone.'"
Whitney Wolfe Herd"A seersucker suit is one of the most iconic styles dating from the 1920s and is still a gentleman's best bet when it's hot and sticky."
Roger Stone"There are hundreds of millions of people on dating apps every day, but apparently, no such apps cater solely to sports fans."
Rich Eisen"I'm a fixer, unfortunately. I'm like, 'Oh, I can fix you.' But it's not just guys I'm dating anymore. It's this entire legion of young girls who tell me they need me to maintain any sort of sanity or peace."
Halsey"I've had a little bad, bad media luck the new year. Well, apparently I'm dating Bill Clinton, which makes me nervous. I didn't know, though."
Julie Bowen"Julianne Moore and Michael Keaton began in 1980s soap operas and 1970s sitcoms, respectively, such ancient history by show business standards that you need carbon dating to measure their careers."
Steve Erickson"'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."
Seth Shostak"It's usually drawing on personal experience. I don't think I could dig deep enough trying to get into somebody else's life. Like 'Far From Me' - I wrote it about this waitress that I was dating when I was fifteen or so, and she broke up with me."
John Prine"I don't want to be the person who has the gigantic headlines: 'Look Who So-and-So Is Dating Now.' That, to me, isn't really who I am."
Chris Young"I don't really believe in rules, but I do like old-fashioned dating where you don't call the guy until he calls you. I don't think it's like he's got to do this and that's the rule."
Ashley Tisdale"I'm friends with a lot of my exes, but it took time. We didn't just get into it. I don't think you can be friends until you're cool with them dating someone else. That's when you know."
Rashida Jones"When I started 'DailyGrace,' I was dating a 26-year-old guy I thought was the funniest person in the world. My creation process every day was imagining him watching my videos and wondering, 'Will he laugh at this?' But somehow that's turned into an audience that's mostly 15-year-old girls."
Grace Helbig"Stuff about me dating Kim Kardashian - I have no idea where that came from and all these other rumors. I don't think I'm that type."
Jeremy Lin"My wife and I have been together since 1986. I graduated in '86 and she graduated in '88. We began dating when she was 17. Actually she turned 18 when we started kissing and stuff."
Cuba Gooding, Jr."Are you kidding? I'm a terrible cook, but John is a really great one. Literally, I never cook. The whole time we were dating, I prepared two officially romantic meals. Both of them were such disasters that he begs me never to go into the kitchen again."
Rebecca Romijn"My original inspiration was my mom: a few years after the death of my dad, she started dating one my teachers!"
Meg Cabot"After a number of years dating, we decided we were good partners."
Melinda Gates"You know, I had my mother and my father convincing me that he would be going back to Hollywood and he'd be back with the actresses and dating them and that he wasn't serious about me at all. So I had him saying one thing to me and my parents telling me something else."
Priscilla Presley"You're talking to someone who has been married to various people for the last 40 years of her life. Dating is not really something familiar. I've never really been a dater."
Stockard Channing"That's the awful thing about dating. Tight underwear. We would all like to be in a big bra and pants and when you are in a secure relationship you can do that."
Dawn French"I don't have much experience, but the few times when I would go on a date with a girl - like when I was 12 - there was a lot of sharing, and a lot of talking, and a lot of asking how I am. They thought we were dating, and I was sort of hoping to meet their brothers."
Anderson Cooper"What online dating did was offer me the opportunity to go out with a bunch of different people from different industries; I really didn't want to limit myself with people who are in the entertainment industry."
Essence Atkins"I'm single, and I hate dating."
Keshia Knight Pulliam"I need a life outside of soccer. So I very much welcome, you know, new love interests and dating and friends and family."
Hope Solo"My husband, after two weeks of dating, asked me, if our relationship were to work out, would I be OK with our first boy being named Ace."
Jennie Finch"I must have been yearning for some Jewish content beyond my genetic makeup because soon after my 21st birthday, I noticed I was no longer dating WASPs."
Susan Isaacs"I've always been intellectually restless, but it is the building part of it that most interests me. It is the constructing of the team that is my favorite part. Anyone who is familiar with the history of the A's franchise, even dating back to Philadelphia, knows that every five or 10 years, you have to tear it apart and rebuild it."
Billy Beane"I knew a ton of actors and was friends with them, but I never dated actresses. I tried to date 'normal' people because the Hollywood dating rule is 'one star per couple' because it's quite a challenge to match the egos of two actors."
Zach Galligan"OKCupid's model is almost entirely based on advertising, which is the way most online media is monetized these days, whether it's the news or whether it's sports, and we think online dating is going to evolve in the exact same way."
Sam Yagan"The sort of the most efficient way for online dating marketplace to evolve and, in fact, any marketplace to evolve is to have one really big market where people can enter and exit as they please, where people have really advanced search, sort, and filtering technology."
Sam Yagan"When you're thinking about building your own online dating profile, especially on OkCupid, you should go through the same steps you're thinking about when you're going out to meet someone new. You want to put your best foot forward."
Sam Yagan"All men that date me have to know that their name may end up in a pop song."
Kesha"It's the fashion, I tell you: big, tall women going out with tiny, tiny men."
Nicholas Haslam"I suppose I was a little bit of what would be called today a nerd. I didn't have girlfriends, and really I wasn't a very social boy."
Charles Kuralt"I think more dating stuff is scheduling. It's needing people who understand your work schedule."
Jennifer Love Hewitt"No matter how love-sick a woman is, she shouldn't take the first pill that comes along."
Joyce Brothers"As far as the men who are running for president are concerned, they aren't even people I would date."
Nora Ephron"When you're setting up your dating profile, choose the photos according to who you are today. A variety of recent shots that are a true representation of your character."
Whitney Wolfe Herd"It's lonely. That's why, in many ways, the CIA is the world's biggest dating agency, I think. I imagine it's much like two actors that get married because they understand that universe. You know, I'm pretty sure the agency's divorce rate is rather high."
Valerie Plame"We have known Hillary Clinton both professionally and personally for close to 20 years, dating back to before President Bill Clinton's first trip to Africa in 1998 - a trip that they both acknowledge changed their lives and gave considerable meaning to their post-White House years and to the activities of the Clinton Foundation."
Valerie Plame"I have run from a lot of relationships in favor of being alone. And I tend to find men who use their money and status as a dating tool to be unattractive."
Erin Foster"My mum wants me to get married - and have children, of course. She's met Gaga; we've been dating a while. We're in a committed relationship, and I'm really happy in my relationship. I'm a very lucky guy. As far as having more of a domestic life and settling down into my relationship, we have to see what happens."
Taylor Kinney"Dating has taught me what I want and don't want, who I am, and who I want to be."
Jennifer Love Hewitt"I always say, if a guy writes the same lead female character type over and over, we are not seeing their writing chops so much as their dating website wishlist."
Gail Simone"Each NFL team has its own policy about their own players dating their own cheerleaders. And in the Raiders there is no policy against it, though it is not encouraged. Yes, there are successful relationships between players and Raiderettes."
Emily Compagno"When I was a boy, I took over the shed at the bottom of the garden and displayed fossils and potsherds and coins in it and proudly called it my 'museum'. I charged people to come in, and my most prized possession was a Saracen shield dating from the Crusades. -Kevin Crossley"
Holland"The term 'alpha female' originated in my field of animal behavior, but has acquired new meaning. It refers to women who are in charge, for example, by flirting and dating on their own terms. It is also used maliciously for a loud-mouthed, controlling woman who has no patience with deviating opinions."
Frans de Waal"Both the guys in Nightwish and I have experiences with previous band breakups and all emotions that come with it. It's almost like dating."
Floor Jansen"I'm much more interested in what an actor has to say about something substantial and important than who they're dating or what clothes they're wearing or some other asinine, insignificant aspect of their life."
Ben Affleck"I don't hate dating people, but I'm not on social media or anything."
Jonathan Groff"We all prospect, and don't even know we're doing it. When you start the dating process, you are actually prospecting for the person you want to marry. When you're interviewing employees, you are prospecting for someone who will best fit your needs."
Zig Ziglar"I don't think I'm misunderstood, but there is definitely a certain side of me that the press focuses on - my body, my hair, or who I'm dating - which has never really served me as an actor. It's served me in the commercial world, making money as a model, but the media perception has really hindered my acting career."
Kelly Brook"I had to deal with being somewhat of an outcast because it's not socially acceptable to be a struggling musician. There have been times where I've felt sorry for the person I was dating. I felt she deserved better."
Taylor Hicks"I guess there are all these women with a big secret - they're hiding men they are ashamed of. They come up to me and say: 'I've been dating this guy for six months in secret but none of my friends know. I can't give him up even though he's embarrassing.'"
Hannah Simone"I've been in plenty of situations where someone I'm dating had more time for a console than me."
Josie Maran"The learned are not agreed as to the time when the Gospel of John was written; some dating it as early as the year 68, others as late as the year 98; but it is generally conceded to have been written after all the others."
Simon Greenleaf"Dating is just awkward moments and one person wants more than the other. It's just that constant strangeness. I think it's a very real thing."
Jason Schwartzman"The woman I am currently crazy about was a vegetarian for a year until I started dating her. As is the case with most vegetarians, she had never eaten properly prepared meat, only commercially packaged or otherwise abused flesh."
Steve Albini"At the time that I knew them, they were not living together. They began dating again after their divorce, so I didn't really see fighting."
Kato Kaelin"I grew up between the two world wars and received a rather solid general education, the kind middle class children enjoyed in a country whose educational system had its roots dating back to the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy."
George Andrew Olah"I always wanted so much glamour in my life, so I have always been obsessed with class, and from dating a few people who were from old money and a few from new money in my 20s, I just sort of became obsessed with this idea of clueless rich people."
Natasha Leggero"I think audiences can relate to the guys I'm playing, those large-and-in-charge idiots. Or maybe I just make them feel better about who they are, or who they're dating."
Rob Riggle"Anybody I'm dating, I don't want them to talk about my music. I don't talk about my music to them."
Nas"Mum left school at 15, and after a few years of modelling and dating jazz musicians, was married by 21 to my father, Mike Taylor, a journalist on the 'Daily Mirror.' They had my brother and me pretty quickly and had split up by the time I was two. I don't really have any memories of them as a couple."
Natascha McElhone"I've got mates who have got married through meeting on Internet dating sites, so it really can work out - even if sometimes it does go disastrously wrong."
Sheridan Smith"Your goal in an online dating profile and in your first message to somebody is to strike up a conversation."
Sam Yagan"I get to be the nosiest friend or acquaintance that anyone has because it's - my job is to ask you about your dating life all the time."
Sam Yagan"My friends and the people I know understand that I'm going to ask them what they're doing, how they're dating, who they're dating, where they're going and what they're doing. I'm constantly asking those questions and making sure I'm in touch with the customer."
Sam Yagan"If you don't have a valentine, hang out with your girlfriends, don't go looking for someone. When it's right, they'll come to you."
Carmen Electra"I didn't want to be short. I've tried to pretend that being a short guy didn't matter. I tried to make up for being short by affecting a strut, by adopting the voice of a much bigger man, by spending more money than I made, by tipping double or triple at bars and restaurants, by dating tall, beautiful women."
Mickey Rooney"It's always been my personal feeling that unless you are married, there is something that is not very dignified about talking about who you are dating."
Luke Wilson"I've never dated anywhere else, so I only know L.A. dating, and I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. I've pulled back and taken the pressure off of myself to figure it out, because there's so much pressure about status that dating has become this game where you pull out all your tricks."
Erin Foster"The thing is, in the dating profiles it says 'spiritual,' but not with a specific religion. And so I pretty much try to meditate, but I have a very hard time concentrating on things other than me."
Lisa Lampanelli"I'm way too famous and rich to be on a dating app, but if I get very desperate by the time I'm 60, I'll go on Tinder. Or I'll go on 'Millionaire Matchmaker'; I'll call Patti Stanger."
Lisa Lampanelli"The United States has a long tradition of preserving the all-American outdoor experience, dating back to the days of President Theodore Roosevelt."
Sarah Huckabee Sanders"The first time I was pregnant, Kanye and I were dating, and I was just being introduced to the world of fashion. I wanted to work with a bunch of different stylists, and when you work with a new stylist, everyone wants to possess your look."
Kim Kardashian"I'm Canadian. The only difference between dating American and Canadian guys is whether you'll be watching football or hockey. I have no preference."
Serinda Swan"Dating is hard. It's difficult and not quantity, but quality. Finding a good person."
Chris Harrison"The Google algorithm was a significant development. I've had thank-you emails from people whose lives have been saved by information on a medical website or who have found the love of their life on a dating website. -Tim Berners"
Lee"I'm a bit of a romantic, to a fault. It's led me to some great things and also some sad things. It's made me a better person, to keep a good spirit about dating."
Alexander Koch"I have used dating apps a couple of times in the past and met people, but it is a difficult thing because you're meeting someone who you really don't know and you have no link to. I have friends who have had great relationships after meeting on Tinder or Bumble, so I'd never say never, but it hasn't worked for me."
Georgina Campbell"'Christian Mingle' is about a young, modern, single woman. She's trying to achieve it all - a successful career, amazing friends, and finding Mr. Right. She stumbles into the world of online dating looking for an instant 'soul mate solution,' but ultimately ends up taking a personal journey transforming her life."
Corbin Bernsen"We live in a world of social media, dating apps, online profiles where everyone is portraying themselves in 2D, trying to look cool. Portray yourself in three dimensions."
Matthew Hussey"I want to start dating the man that I'm gonna marry. I want to start having some fun with someone that I know I'm gonna be with. I don't play any games. I'm too old for that. I've been there; I've been around the block. -LisaRaye McCoy"
Misick"I learned how quickly I could go from having never met someone to having the world think I'm dating them."
Halsey"We don't do 'dating' in Sweden."
Caroline Winberg"I still have a crush on Johnny Depp, and I literally only started dating my husband because he looked like Johnny Depp - and he knows that. We've been together for twelve years, and he still looks like Johnny Depp."
Eliza Coupe"When my parents were dating, they were very poor, so my dad couldn't take my mom out. They would go to the grocery store and pick out funny looking vegetables. When I grew up, we'd still go and find the ones with personality."
Parker Posey"Dating shows should exist for people who aren't straight. They're out there, there aren't enough of them. Whether you try and squeeze a format that already works into something else. I don't know.'"
Olly Alexander"I always felt that, for me, as a woman, I always had to wait around. In all other arenas, I was ambitious and a go-getter, but when it came to dating, I wasn't supposed to go after what I wanted."
Whitney Wolfe Herd"I stopped dating for six months a year ago. Dating requires a lot of energy and focus."
Daphne Zuniga"Workshops and seminars are basically financial speed dating for clueless people."
Douglas Coupland"I wouldn't tell you anything about anybody I cared about because it becomes entertainment for other people, and it sort of just cheapens everything in your life. I would never tell you if I was dating anybody."
Kristen Stewart"I'm opening up my heart to the idea of dating. It's funny - my friends would always come to me for romantic advice. I know nothing, and things have changed since I was dating in high school! I'm really trying hard to spend this time working on myself."
Olivia Wilde"I wish I was dating one of the ladies in 'Bollywood Hero.' They're gorgeous. Any of them."
Chris Kattan"When it comes to dating, I'm straightforward and traditional with a twist."
Luke Pasqualino"As and when I get into a relationship, I'll flaunt her to the world. I'm looking for a soul mate, and in any case, I'm not very much for casual dating. I'm such a simple guy away from this dating-shating business."
Suresh Raina"When I was five years old, I told my parents that I wanted to take ballet. So, ballet was the focus of my life... until puberty. Then I discovered boys and started dating a guy with a mohawk who'd come to my ballet class and freak everybody out. Shortly after that is when I quit."
Chandra West"I'm not interested in serial dating; I'd honestly rather be single."
Tamsin Egerton"One thing matters more than anything else for a dating product, and that is the quantity and quality of the people who use the product. It's really freaking hard to get critical mass."
Sam Yagan"My work involves online dating, but I believe almost every behavior exhibited online has an offline corollary. Really, the medium doesn't change human nature."
Sam Yagan"Dating is a numbers game. What we try to promise is good first dates. Once that first date happens, it's really up to you."
Sam Yagan"When people talk about the impact of mobile dating, everyone focuses on real-time meeting - this idea that my pocket will vibrate every time a hot girl walks by. That's important. But it's not transformative."
Sam Yagan"In dating, the question is how many Tinder knockoffs are we going to have, and are any of them going to take off?"
Sam Yagan"If you're a sports fan you realize that when you meet somebody, like a girlfriend, they kind of have to root for your team. They don't have a choice."
Jimmy Fallon"Right now I'm pretty single... My career is my boyfriend."
Christina Aguilera"We are constantly protecting the male ego, and it's a disservice to men. If a man has any sensitivity or intelligence, he wants to get the straight scoop from his girlfriend."
Betty Dodson"Appearance is something you should definitely consider when you're going out. Have your girlfriend clip your nails or something like that."
Usher"If you kiss on the first date and it's not right, then there will be no second date. Sometimes it's better to hold out and not kiss for a long time. I am a strong believer in kissing being very intimate, and the minute you kiss, the floodgates open for everything else."
Jennifer Lopez"I'm really critical of my posture, it makes a big difference. And I try to suck my belly in. Everyone should do that whether you're on a red carpet or not. Even if you're just going out to dinner with your boyfriend you should try and suck it in."
Katy Perry"I was dating girls who were actresses, and that was fun, so I took a playwriting class. But that was short-lived. That was one year. Around that time, I was seeing movies that were making me think in terms of images."
Richard Linklater"I came out to my parents when I was a junior in college. And it was pretty fine. They were more concerned with why I wasn't dating anyone. But now I'm 36, and I still don't date anyone."
Billy Eichner"I write about what I know: teenage dating, overly charged sexuality, all the things that make you uncomfortable."
Bo Burnham"When I went off to college in 1997, I didn't go back and watch 'Conan.' I was out partying and dating women."
Jason Momoa"Jon has always been the romantic. He started dating before I did. I was more awkward and nervous in front of girls in high school."
Drew Scott"I'm not interested in dating. I like being with my own best friend, me. Certain women, particularly older women, cannot believe I like going to a social event by myself. But I do."
Gloria Allred"The Bachelor'... and 'The Bachelorette'... and 'Bachelor in Paradise'... and the 'After the Final Rose ceremony'. I love a competition dating show."
Erin Foster"I think a nice romantic dinner should be saved for when you and the girl you're dating or seeing have something special and it's a more special occasion."
Ben Savage"I just don't like when there's a rumor that says I'm dating someone who is below my standards. But when I got divorced, my ex-wife said I was spending all my time with Lindsay Lohan and Angelina Jolie. I was like, 'Thank you for the big ups!'"
Marilyn Manson"I urge you children to be patient with your parents. If they seem to be out of touch on such vital issues as dating, clothing styles, modern music, and use of family cars, listen to them anyway. They have the experience that you lack."
Joseph B. Wirthlin"Our nation is built upon a history of immigration, dating back to our first pioneers, the Pilgrims. For more than three centuries, we have welcomed generations of immigrants to our melting pot of hyphenated America: British-Americans; Italian-Americans; Irish-Americans; Jewish-Americans; Mexican-Americans; Chinese-Americans; Indian-Americans."
Ami Bera"Is Amazon truly the best online buying experience? Absolutely not. Is eBay the best platform for auction? Probably not. Are dating sites like match.com really a reflection of the way people date? Probably not."
Danny Rimer"I was bullied. I was a bit of a geek. Good-looking guys were off-limits. I didn't start dating until I was 18."
Michelle Ryan"When someone is good, but it doesn't seem like their world will collapse if they don't get the part, it's more appealing. It's like dating someone: You don't want someone who's too into you."
Steve Carell"We were intrigued by the fact that we had so much actual behavior among people on our dating site, OKCupid."
Sam Yagan"It's weird to have people so interested in your personal life. It's a part of the business that grosses me out. I'm always bummed out for people who just happen to be dating a celebrity, and they're also famous, and they can't live their life."
Andy Samberg"I've had two romances since moving to Las Vegas. One was with somebody 12 years older than me, and the other was the same age, and neither worked out. I know people still think of me as one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends, and he of course was much older than me, but that was a whole different lifestyle and a different kind of dating."
Holly Madison"My daughter's mother and I are no longer dating, and the people I'm most likely to date are those around me, who are athletes."
Tyson Gay"I ain't scared to do another dating show, but I ain't really trying to. I want to do a talk show or something. I've done enough dating on television. I'm ready to spread my wings, and go down other avenues."
Flavor Flav"I feel like I am a real artist and I want to be able to feel what I am singing about. So when I sing, 'Leave (Get Out),' I have been through that. I think it is just a new generation, whether people are ready for it or not. Teenagers are dating."
JoJo"All my freakouts have been pretty private and directed at family pets and/or people I have been dating for too short a time to freak out at in that way."
Lena Dunham"I'm not great at dating, but I need to do it to relax."
Lena Dunham"You can draw inspiration from anything. If you're a good storyteller, you can take a dirty look somebody gives you, or if a guy you used to have flirtations with starts dating a new girl, or somebody you're casually talking to says something that makes you so mad - you can create an entire scenario around that."
Taylor Swift"I'm the girl who - I call it girl-next-door-itis - the hot guy is friends with and gets all his relationship advice from but never considers dating."
Taylor Swift"People with film careers get a whole onslaught of people they spend 12 hours a day with every three months. It's like speed dating. You've got a fast-track to social intimacy with a whole bunch of people."
Christine Elise"Women need to know that not all guys are going to hurt them the way that the guy did before they started dating me. I know guys I wouldn't go out with."
Garry Shandling"Facebook and pictures on the Internet have created such a different way of dating. It's not necessarily good because an obsessive quality can develop in people."
Alexander Koch"Golf and dating don't mix."
Larry David"I'm a South Asian female that talks about relationships and periods and dating and all these things."
Lilly Singh"People usually spend the first two months playing themselves up, not really being themselves. You waste those two months - and then they tell you, 'You're not who I was dating the first month!'"
Manny Montana"That's the dating world. You just keep losing. Everyone does."
Riki Lindhome"Dating, like almost every other male-female interaction in present-day society, is based on outmoded and unequal social roles and expectations."
Lynn Coady"I'm not a dating person."
Kourtney Kardashian"That's the miracle of Amazon! It's like Internet dating. In the early days, you could get slimed as an author on Amazon by someone bearing a grudge, or jealous, or whatever. And because there were so few reviews posted, this stank."
Nigel Hamilton"I hated the idea of a high school sweetheart. Growing up, oh my God, it just made me sick. I wanted to have a range of cool boyfriends. I wanted to travel around and date these interesting men. Then it just happened. You fall in love."
Charlotte Arnold"I've dated some women who have turned me on to some funny things that are strange for men to actually do, but these things have become part of my process. I think the things I do for my appearance help make me look better. I even colour my hair because I like how it makes me look."
Ryan Seacrest"It's ironic, really. Guys should be excited that I got Kristen Bell. If Brad Pitt gets Kristen Bell, it's like, 'Well, of course he did.' With me, it should be, 'Oh good, a normal-looking guy got her. Maybe I'll get me a Kristen Bell.' But guys hate my guts for always dating women I have no right to be with."
Dax Shepard"Some women flirt more with what they say, and some with what they do."
Anna Held"I have spent a decade of my life dating. I am thrilled about never going on another bad date for the rest of my life. I'm also so excited to learn and grow with the person I respect most in this world."
Leah Pipes"I do bits about dating but mainly about what I did and how incompetent I am, not any genuine people writing to me."
James Veitch"When you're really young, dating girls, and trying to explain Kiss, they just look at you like you're kind of crazy. I think they got so big in the Seventies and were such a phenomenon - they did the 'Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park' movie, the solo records - some people only know the merchandising stuff."
Mike McCready"Married life is the same as dating life, except now you have a ring, and the state of California has a vested financial interest in the outcome of your marriage."
Thomas Middleditch"I think it's important to figure out you and to have fun and to be dating and to figure out what you like and what you don't like. It's what growing up is all about."
Lily Collins"I love having boyfriends. I love dating. I do not want a husband in my house."
Shonda Rhimes"People's sexuality is often defined by who we're partnered with at any given moment, which can be a frustrating limitation for me. I've had countless tiny 'coming out' moments in my life, often simply to explain to someone else that they have misjudged my sexuality based on who they saw me dating."
Stephanie Beatriz"You don't need to know who I'm dating. You don't need to know what I'm doing. I'm fine with everybody not knowing that."
Eva Longoria"It's just me and my 6-month-old puppy. I am not dating anyone."
Bridget Hall"I have a Tinder account. Now I've done Bumble, and I've tried this other one, and the way I justified it is that... because I'm on TV, I shouldn't be eliminated from participating in what's going on in the world. But people are always like, 'I can't believe you're on a dating app!'"
Eric Stonestreet"Dating someone on the opposite end of the happy spectrum teaches you an incredible amount of patience."
Chris Pine"I've said many times how big a wrestling fan I am, but all my bias aside as her husband, I'm a huge Candice LeRae fan. I was a huge Candice LeRae fan before we started dating. I was a huge Candice LeRae fan before we got married."
Johnny Gargano"When I don't have a girlfriend, who I am answerable to, I can go out and hang with people. But whether you go for a movie with someone or a meal or a drive, it is assumed that you are dating that person."
Shahid Kapoor"It took me until my 40s to realize the five essential areas that are important to at least have a real dating chance. Obviously, beyond the physical compatibility, which is where we all start in junior high school, I think that intellectual compatibility and spiritual compatibility, emotional intelligence, and financial compatibility are important."
Malik Yoba"A lot of people - boys - look at me differently. They think that if they date me, they are gay because they are dating another boy. In instances like this, I feel almost excluded, if that's the right word. I feel like I'm being put on a different shelf."
Jazz Jennings"Dodi got a lot of criticism when he began dating Princess Diana. No one seemed to think he was good enough for her."
Lorna Luft"Humans have continued to evolve quite a lot over the past ten thousand years, and certainly over 100 thousand. Sure, our biology affects our behavior. But it's unlikely that humans' early evolution is deeply relevant to contemporary psychological questions about dating or the willpower to complete a dissertation."
Annalee Newitz"I don't talk about who I'm dating because when you break up, you wind up reliving it in the media."
Bridget Fonda"I'm a bad dater - I'm just not good at it. It's so weird dating in this town. It's like high school. I get a lot of people who have their publicist call my agent to ask, 'Is she dating anyone?'"
Jules Asner"Dating is kind of hard. Like dinner or something like that. Like a forced awkward situation is very strange. Especially for me, for some reason."
Zac Efron"I give dating advice on a regular basis. It's not that I'm any expert, but it's always nice to share that with your friends."
Ashley Tisdale"Dating is really hard because everyone puts on a front. It's really difficult to see who is who, so it is important to be yourself."
Brooke Burke"I'm very open to dating and finding a guy."
Kristin Cavallari"I'm typically single. I'm the girl who - I call it girl-next-door-itis - the hot guy is friends with and gets all his relationship advice from but never considers dating."
Taylor Swift"I'm definitely old-school when it comes to dating. I'm not into the 'game' so much. If I like you, I'll confront you and be open about it. Then I expect you to come after me."
Ashley Tisdale"I have experienced bad dating and ineptitude with women all across the globe, from Vietnam to Paris. When I was 21, women were an enigma; they were this code that had to be cracked. They were 'The Other.' I have often thought writing this stuff into stand-up and shows would be an exorcism, but it hasn't been; it makes no difference."
Stephen Merchant"I feel like there is always a rumor that I'm dating someone that I never met before. People have their judgments and ideas of who I am, and they know nothing."
Lauren London"First and foremost when you're doing comedy, you gotta be relevant and applicable to the times that you're living in. When you try and just do comedy about who is dating who and lifestyle jokes, it gets tiring after a while. It's hard to be funny in that realm."
Adam McKay"Insider trading by hedge funds has a long and distinguished history, dating to the days when people didn't know that there was such a thing as a hedge fund."
Gary Weiss"While actors are great and awesome, writers literally create new worlds from scratch. What is sexier than that? Personally, I don't know why every last person out there isn't dating a writer."
Rachel Bloom"There are some guys you definitely would not want dating your sister - especially hockey players."
Patrick Kane"I don't do a lot of dating. I guess it's kind of like everyone is always trying to set me up with somebody, so we go out and hang out at a club or somewhere. I think dates are weird."
Matt Cohen"Do not just look at your boyfriend as just a boyfriend. Look at him as a friend, too."
Vanessa Hudgens"I'm not cynical about marriage or romance. I enjoyed being married. And although being single was fun for a while, there was always the risk of dating someone who'd owned a lunch box with my picture on it."
Shaun Cassidy"Dating can be painful, can be great, can be confusing, can be weird, but I don't do it online because I'm not really an online person."
Jonathan Groff"I started dating at 16."
Ashley Graham"The way I was raised, you get a new pair of sneakers when the old one gets messed up. But when I got to high school, I started dating girls and trying to fit in, and I realized everybody was collecting Jordans. When I would get my paychecks, I wouldn't even take money. I would just trade them for sneakers. -Kerby Jean"
Raymond"'Sticky' is about reaching a point in a relationship where you both realize you guys shouldn't be dating, but you're doing it anyway just because you like to have that sense of just being able to be honest with the person and comfortable with the person. You kind of ignore all of the signs and red flags because you really want to like the person."
Ravyn Lenae"I tried to make up for being 5 ft. 3 in. by affecting a strut and adopting the voice of a much bigger man... dating tall, beautiful women... But nothing I could do, after Ava had left me, would add a single inch to my height."
Mickey Rooney"As I've told Tyler, there's not a really easy place between being single and being married for us now. We're just so busy that the logistics of our career make dating impossible. I think I'll find a girl at some point that makes all of the extra work and effort that needs to be put into it worth it. But for right now, I just date my drums."
Josh Dun"I'm not really on dating apps. I used to be when I was younger. I'd rather meet people in real life."
Noah Centineo"'How I Built This With Guy Raz' asks entrepreneurs to tell the story of how they made their name and, in some cases, their fortune. Whether they're in the business of selling burritos or dating apps, there's inevitably something you can learn from their stories."
David Hepworth"My mom is going to kill me for talking about sleeping with people. But I don't want to put myself in the position where I'm in a monogamous relationship right now. I'm not dating just one person. 'Sex and the City' changed everything for me because those girls would sleep with so many people."
Lindsay Lohan"One of the most overwhelming things about dating is imagining going on an entire dinner date for an evening with someone you don't even know you have chemistry with yet."
Matthew Hussey"I've gotten a lot more disciplined since dating Sue."
Megan Rapinoe"With all the things like Tinder and these different online sites that people use, 'Love Island' actually goes back to the traditional side of dating."
Caroline Flack"I like the idea of dating, but I'm not dating anyone exclusively, particularly right now. It's hard to be in a relationship unless you're ready to go public with it. So it's a lot easier for me to not be in a relationship. I really don't want that part of my life to be tabloid fodder."
Cory Monteith"Celebrities say they date other celebrities because they have the same job. But I think they just like dating famous people. Celebrities attract each other, like cattle."
Jason Lee"I don't mind dating younger men now."
Jackee Harry"I was dating my first boyfriend in high school for a long time, and we broke up before prom. I hadn't met anyone else that I really wanted to go with, and my friends have always been amazing. So I went with my friends and got a million photos with them!"
Shay Mitchell"Taylor Swift dates guys so she can write a breakup song about them. I don't think she's dating for love - I think she's dating for creativity. So let's get her off the market and put her in dating detox. If she really wants love, she has to stop writing music about them."
Patti Stanger"Who would want to get back together with Taylor Swift after having dated her? I'm sure dating her is like talking to a white sheet of paper with a little bit of vanilla ice cream on it that doesn't say anything."
Kurt Braunohler"Just ask for what you want. I requested a six-month break from Facebook to visit my parents; I asked to switch projects. I told my husband it was time to get married after six years of dating!"
Ruchi Sanghvi"I'm very heterosexual, so dating women is something I'm not ashamed of. But my love life is not as exciting as it is reported to be."
Ranbir Kapoor"I think once you enter the dating world and you realise it's nothing like those Disney movies you watched when you were a little girl, you just become more guarded."
Megan Fox"I've surfed the Web and the whole dating connection. I find that pretty fascinating, but no real leads."
Taylor Hicks"I'm very happy to be part of a generation where you don't have to say that you're gay. It's just like, 'I'm dating a dude,' or, 'I'm dating a girl,' and I love it. I think it's a great time."
Keke Palmer"For a lot of the time I was in Berkeley, I was single. I was living in a kind of collegiate apartment by myself - it was like a protracted summer vacation. So at least in hindsight, I have gloomy emotions attached to Berkeley, whereas I started coming to New York because I was dating someone, and it was very exciting and romantic."
Adrian Tomine"I believe that often people even stay in bad relationships longer than they should because the fear of the pain of dating is scarier than the pain of a bad relationship!"
Karen Salmansohn"My views are very fluctuating. I have very contradictory takes on the subject. Dating is easier, while marriage is hard work. You see your friends having early divorces, and on the other hand, you see your parents having a successful marriage."
Kangana Ranaut"Comedy helped me out in my teenage years. It saw me through puberty and helped me to deal with dating."
Rhys Darby"I fantasize about going back to high school with the knowledge I have now. I would shine. I would have a good time, I would have a girlfriend. I think that's where a lot of my pain comes from. I think I never had any teenage years to go back to."
Spalding Gray"I didn't have a financial need, and I wasn't very gifted at relationships. I probably was more like what we think of boys as being: hard to pin down and wary of commitment."
Candice Bergen"If I talk to a woman for more than five minutes I can tell you exactly whether she's an Aidan girl or a Mr. Big girl. Aidan girls are more interested in nurturing relationships and building a nest while Mr. Big girls are more about show and having fun."
Michael Patrick King"What I remember most about junior homecoming was my date getting sick afterwards. That kinda sucked. Then, senior year, someone got gum in her hair when we were dancing. She had to get one of the chaperones to take her to the office and cut up her hair. I felt really bad for her, but it worked out fine."
James Lafferty"Some black women hug me and walk away. A lot of black men talk about dating white women and how they've been there, too. People open up about their racial experiences. I feel like I'm a walking therapy session. It's quite intense. But it means a lot to people."
Daniel Kaluuya"If we made the 'Batman' games more realistic, you'd have to be Bruce Wayne for half the game, counting his money and dating supermodels."
Paul Dini"People get married for a wide array of reasons and have all sorts of expectations of how marriage will change the relationship. And while it's true that turning the person you're dating into a legal partner does affect certain things, those who expect marriage to be a cure-all for all your relationship woes are sorely mistaken."
Emily V. Gordon"Sometimes we put so much effort into things we're doing, like dating or wedding planning, that we don't stop to think about whether or not we even want the results of that effort."
Emily V. Gordon"No one knew me until I met my wife Lulu. Lulu's mother used to ask, Which one is Maurice? For six months she thought Lulu was dating Barry."
Maurice Gibb"Everyone in the dating business wants to know what women want - it's the billion-dollar question. But it's simple: put one in charge, and you find out."
Whitney Wolfe Herd"Back when I was dating, the dreaded C word was Commitment. As soon as most men found out I had a child, they ran. If I ever got close enough to say the words, 'I love you,' they ran faster."
Regina Brett"I have no wisdom to share on dating."
Rachel Dratch"I know some people who've gotten tattoos that they probably shouldn't have, like the name of somebody they were dating, and that never ends well."
Nikki Sixx"I don't know why anyone would want to ask an actor for dating advice. We are not the poster children for healthy relationships."
Ginnifer Goodwin"I have put gay dating on the map."
Patti Stanger"The rich are different. Their wants are very high maintenance. They'll pick eye color and hair color, all the way down to what she does for a living, what school she went to. Their list can be extremely long. But at the end of the day, dating is dating, because they're human beings."
Patti Stanger"I'm so an all-or-nothing person in dating, always. I'm big on not wasting time. And so, yeah, if something's not working, it's time to not hold people back."
Ginnifer Goodwin"I've always gone out with much younger guys. But I rushed into relationships before really getting to know the person. What would come up as a warning sign within the first two weeks of dating would usually be the exact reason the relationship would end!"
Carrie Ann Inaba"Oh, yeah, I did the online dating thing. I did Nerve, I did Match. On Nerve there was this one guy who, when I asked him what he did for a living, said he 'used to be in a band.' I was like, 'That is not an occupation.'"
Julie Klausner"I didn't write my book, 'I Don't Care About Your Band,' in order to give women a brand-new set of dating rules they need to feel terrible about not abiding. I wrote my book to make the women who read it feel good about themselves, and a little more entitled to be treated well by the guys they go out with."
Julie Klausner"Ever since the infamous quiz show scandals of the 1950s, the feds had insisted that TV game shows be honest - or that at least they didn't cheat. So as a 'Dating Game' bachelor, I didn't know what I was going to be asked. The other bachelors and I were required to concoct our answers in real time."
Seth Shostak"When you start dating another country star, the first question is, 'When are y'all gonna do a duet?' And what sucks about that is people expect you to do it whether you want to or not."
Blake Shelton"Early on, when my wife and I were dating, we went to the grocery store, and I told her that sometimes I just buy birthday cakes, and I eat them. And she said: 'Really? I do, too.'"
Tom Cotton"I don't actually watch that much TV, but I was obsessed with 'Dawson's Creek' growing up. And 'Freaks and Geeks.' And '8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter.' -Anya Taylor"
Joy"Everybody knows now that Marie Lightfoot, the true crime writer, is dating Franklin DeWeese, the state attorney of Howard County, Florida. They know I'm a white woman; they know he's a black man. That's not news anymore."
Nancy Pickard"I'm not traditional at all. It's not that I'm against marriage; it just never mattered that much to me. If I was dating someone who getting married was very important to them, then absolutely. I'd have no problem. I love the idea of finding someone to be a great father figure to Jasper and to share my life with."
Georgina Bloomberg"Dating in college and dating in Hollywood are actually really similar in that the relationships don't last long. Other than that, lots of people in Hollywood tend to be narcissistic, and it's hard to have a relationship with someone like that."
Julia Stiles"Every single young person is reachable. Ask them what dating is like in their country. Ask them if they have a girlfriend. Ask them what their type is. There's nobody who's too conservative to talk about that."
Jared Cohen"Dating in the closet is torture. It's one of the most difficult things, especially if you are completely closeted."
Gus Kenworthy"I think probably - I think, you know, when you're first dating somebody, if they're just not that physical with you, if they don't want to make concrete plans with you, you know, if they're sort of ambiguous about where everything is going, I think that's a pretty good sign that they're not into you."
Greg Behrendt"I left my husband and I thought 'I'm never dating ever again.'"
Lady Colin Campbell"Dating is all about the chase. It's fun!"
Lauren Conrad"In the dating game, the world is difficult because people don't communicate, or they communicate, but then their actions speak louder than words."
Hayley Kiyoko"Mary Tyler Moore was a working woman whose story lines were not always about dating and men. They were about work friendships and relationships, which is what I feel my adult life has mostly been about."
Tina Fey"Someone who'll bring some normalcy into my life and help me stay in touch with reality. That is something I'm curious about. There are so many actors who are married to people from non-film backgrounds, and their marriages are successful. I'm tired of dating actresses."
Shahid Kapoor"As much of a privilege as it is to pass, it's painful. You have to compartmentalize your life. That's awkward. Dating can be horrible."
Trace Lysette"I started my blog back in 2009 because every Internet business and marketing seminar I watched at the time told me I had to. I had been trying to get a business started selling dating and life advice and was struggling."
Mark Manson"I do like dating cynics - they tend to be incredibly funny."
Chris Pine"Work takes up a lot of my brain space. So when I work, it's one thing. I don't have a lot of time to think about dating."
Chris Pine"I heard on public radio recently, there's a thing called Weed Dating. Singles get together in a garden and weed and then they take turns, they keep matching up with other people. Two people will weed down one row and switch over with two other people. It's in Vermont. I don't think I'd be very good at Weed Dating."
Roy Blount, Jr."In my own relationships, I know that I should break up with someone who doesn't encourage me to be strong and make my own choices and do what's best in my life, so if you're dating someone who doesn't want you to be the best person you can be, you shouldn't be dating them."
Veronica Roth"I'm the one who's dating the craft-service guy instead of the producer. Plus, if a producer is going to date a hot young thing, I'm probably not the first person on their list - the weird, quirky, funny girl."
Whitney Cummings"Years later I would hear my father say the divorce had left him dating his children. That still meant picking us up every Sunday for a matinee and, if he had the money, an early dinner somewhere."
Andre Dubus III"I had a few dating disasters along the way with girls cheating on me. One girl was the inspiration for me singing 'Cry Me A River' on 'The X Factor.' That was my payback to her because she was unfaithful."
Liam Payne"I've never done online dating, but first of all, I have a book out called 'Make It Last Forever: The Do's and The Dont's,' which led me to do the online dating thing. A lot of people respect my relationship songs, so they can pretty much trust me."
Keith Sweat"I have no dating life."
Sara Sampaio"My parents always looked like they loved being together. That's what I took from them, and that's how my wife and I are. I still feel like we're dating."
Billy Crystal"In this day and age, I ask anyone I date right away: 'Are you married? Are you in a relationship with anyone? Does anyone think they're in a relationship with you?' And by the way, if someone says, 'Yes, I am dating other people,' that's not necessarily a deal breaker. But you have to communicate it, not hide it."
Tracee Ellis Ross"There isn't a way to depict the gay community without at least mentioning the existence of online dating apps like Grindr. -Andrew Keenan"
Bolger"Anyone who has to have the word 'charming' in their name probably isn't - just take a look at any dating site where men use 'prince charming' in their description."
Sarah Pinborough"The whole thing about dating was the scariest thing in the world. And I would tell my friends, 'I'm never going to find anyone. Where am I going to find someone? By now, I'm 59 years old. Where do you meet men?' It was really funny. So I just focused on myself."
Tina Knowles"I met my future husband Andy fighting for trans equality, and we fell in love. A couple of months after we started dating, Andy was diagnosed with cancer, and despite getting a clean bill of health several months later, eventually his cancer came back, and it was terminal."
Sarah McBride"Once a date asked me what I do, so I said that my company empowers women in their dating lives. Her response? 'Aw, that's so cute!' Cute is how my babysitter described me when I was 7 years old. Simple fix: Replace cute with hot and he'll feel like James Bond."
Matthew Hussey"We sold OkCupid to Match in January of 2011. In September of 2012, I became CEO of all of Match, which is the operating segment of IAC that contains all of the dating properties."
Sam Yagan"Women were very, very good at 'Pong'. It was part of the dating scene. The number of people who told me they met their wife or husband playing 'Pong' was huge. They were shoulder to shoulder, talking and playing. It was body contact and verbal contact."
Nolan Bushnell"I don't have dating tips."
Bill Keller"Sometimes people will approach me on the street and ask me very personal questions about my dating life. Fans talk to me like they know me, and it's like, 'You don't know me. You know my character, but you really don't know me.'"
Lili Reinhart"I was inspired by the men who walked on the moon. It really was my inspiration, I think, you know, as a kid of 9 years old - I know I'm dating myself, but - I thought, 'What a cool job!'"
Peggy Whitson"In 10 years of being together - 6 while dating and 4 in marriage - my wife has never once complained about my physical or mental absence in our relationship."
Bhavish Aggarwal
