| A simple compliment goes a really long way – for a guy to just come over and say, ‘You have great hair’ or ‘I really like your dress,’ and then just smile and walk away.

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 |

| Things were a lot simpler in Detroit. I didn’t care about anything but boyfriends. | Madonna Ciccone |

| 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 |
| 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 |
| Which is, I’m an optimist that two people can be together to work out their conflicts. And that commitment, I think, might be what love is, because they both grow from their relationship. | Garry Shandling |
| I think more dating stuff is scheduling. It’s needing people who understand your work schedule. | Jennifer Love Hewitt |

| Fereydun, that’s my dad’s name. My grandmother, my dad’s mom, when she was pregnant, she was dating a man from Persia, a Persian gentleman. It wasn’t his child, but he was still very supportive and said, ‘Hey, this is a great name,’ and so it stuck. So that’s what she named him. | Fred Armisen |
| 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 |

Casual attitudes about expressions of affection such as kissing can cause much grief and heartache. | John Bytheway |
| 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!

| I can’t even explain to you how terrible that feels, that I equate dating a woman with punishment, shame, guilt, disappointment, reproach, reprimand, persecution. It’s a nightmare. | John Mayer |
| Women in their thirties are much more nervous about dating. They feel time is ‘running out for them. They want to get married and have a family.

| My philosophy of dating is to just fart right away. | Jenny McCarthy |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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’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 |
| Look at the Prius. It’s a nerd car. Yeah, you’re being environmentally friendly, but your dating life is gonna suck. | Xzibit |

| I am just scared to death of online dating. | Michaela Watkins |

| No matter how liberal or modern a family is, there will always be resistance when someone discloses that they are dating someone. | Gautham Menon |
| Your goal in an online dating profile and in your first message to somebody is to strike up a conversation. | Sam Yagan |

| 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 |
| ‘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 |
| Well, dating has become a sport and not about finding the person you love. | Rashida Jones |
| Trans-dating is hardcore, and it’s really scary. And that’s coming from me, someone who couldn’t be dating in a more open-minded Manhattan pool of artsy boys and creative folk. Not saying it all sucks. I’m just saying it’s not easy. | Hari Nef |
| 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 |
| It was funny actually because that was still during the time we were dating. He would get all these calls because supposedly before we broke up, we had already broken up in the trades, in the rags or whatever. | Rosario Dawson |

| 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 |
| People think Selena and The Weeknd are dating for publicity, and that’s not how things works. These are real human beings. They don’t just date to get more famous. They’re already the most famous artists! | Madison Beer |
| 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 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 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 |
| 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. | Gordon B. Hinckley |

| Everybody’s got baggage, and not just the classic, ‘Oh I have so much baggage,’ but everyone comes with so much context, and you’re not just dating a person: you’re dating all their context, too. Part of relationships is negotiating each other’s context. | Emily V. Gordon |
| It’s a common misunderstanding, that when a bisexual person is dating someone of the opposite sex that they are now straight, or if they are dating someone of the same sex they are now gay. | Courtney Act |

| I was a late starter on the romantic front. I didn’t start dating until I was in my 30s. | Geri Halliwell |
| 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 |
| There were dozens of dating apps when Bumble came on the scene, but they weren’t able to attract critical mass in a young professional group. | Whitney Wolfe Herd |

| When I started dating I had this kind of Romeo and Juliet, fateful romantic idea about love which was almost that you were a victim and there was a lot of pain involved and that was how it should be. | Emma Watson |
| I’ve thought long and hard about this, and I think a lot of the dysfunction around dating has to do with men having the control. | Whitney Wolfe Herd |

| 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 |
| 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. |
| It’s just me and my 6-month-old puppy. I am not dating anyone. | Bridget Hall |
| 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 |

| I’ve never been speed dating! I sort of wish I had, just for the experience of it. | America Ferrera |
| 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 |
| I had a crazy life for a teenager. I lived in New Jersey, but I’d go to Vermont for three weeks, join a commune, take pictures with the guy I was dating, come back home, and post photos. | Halsey |
| 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 |
| All my life, men have told me I wasn’t pretty enough – even the men I was dating. And I’d be like, ‘Well, why are you with me, then?’ It’s always been men putting me down just like my dad. To this day when someone says I’m cute, I can’t see it. I don’t see it no matter what anybody says. | Lil’ Kim |
| I don’t need to make an announcement about who I’m dating. It’s up to me to decide when and what I want to share about my personal life, and it is up to the audience to decide how they look at it. | Shibani Dandekar |
| 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 was dating someone and wanted to get married to him. But just because casting couch exists in TFI and I work here, he didn’t respect me. | Tejaswi Madivada |
| 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 |
| Any online dating profile is about making us more human, more three-dimensional. | Matthew Hussey |
| 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 |
| Trade protectionism has an American lineage dating back to the Founders; that lineage is distinct from white nationalism. | Heather Mac Donald |
| 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’m not very good at dating. | Evan Peters |
| Coming through the fire and through the storm of life with a strong man, my fiance Ashanti, whom I’ve been dating for eight months and two wonderful children beside me, I’m just so happy that I have been able to maintain my integrity and get to where I am today with the right energy around me. | Angie Stone |
| I enjoy dating. I love first dates. I think they’re incredibly fascinating studies in human psychology. 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 started painting my nails and started wearing some women’s clothing, but that whole side of me always caused problems in my intimate relationships. There was a lot of shame attached to it. I’d talk to people I was dating about it but still feel ashamed. | Teddy Geiger |
| 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 stopped dating for six months a year ago. Dating requires a lot of energy and focus. | Daphne Zuniga |
| 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’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 |
| Even when I was dating a man I always said I’d never get married until marriage equality was passed in Australia. It wouldn’t feel right. | Jessica Origliasso |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| My own experience of dating cis-hetero men has really been a challenge, because of the stigma they have to endure for attempting to love us. | Trace Lysette |
| 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 |
| Golf and dating don’t mix. | Larry David |
| It’s really weird when people scrutinize every little thing about you and talk about your outfits and your weight and who you’re dating… and there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it. | Mischa Barton |
| 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 |
| The Bachelor’… and ‘The Bachelorette’… and ‘Bachelor in Paradise’… and the ‘After the Final Rose ceremony’. I love a competition dating show. | Erin Foster |
| 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 |
| It’s not always the case that when you’re dating someone that the family likes you. | Shibani Dandekar |
| 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 |
| 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 don’t hate dating people, but I’m not on social media or anything. | Jonathan Groff |
| When I first started dating my husband, I had this weird fascination with the circus and clowns and old carnival things and sideshow freaks and all that. About a month after we started dating, he bought me this amazing black-and-white photo book on the circus in the 1930s, and I started sobbing. | Christina Hendricks |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| It’s a big responsibility dating me. Because I come with a little bit of baggage, you know? | Demi Lovato |
| For a long time, I had a crazy girl dating habit. | Eli Roth |
| I go out to dinner occasionally and that’s the sum of my dating life. | Sophie Dahl |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| Dating isn’t easy. | Julian Edelman |
| The best companies in the world have all had predecessors. ‘YouTube’ was a dating site. You always have to evolve into something else. | Kevin Systrom |
| 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 |
| Good-looking individuals are treated better than homely ones in virtually every social situation, from dating to trial by jury. | Martha Beck |
| 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 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| I think for marketplace businesses, and when you think about online dating, it’s not a social network. It’s not a place where you go to talk to people you already know; it’s a place you go to interact with someone you’ve never met before. | Sam Yagan |
| 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 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 |
| 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’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 |
| It’s a really deep and layered psychological situation – making music with someone – if they’re trying to make something real and personal. It’s almost like dating: you allow yourself to be consumed by the other – not in a bad way, but in a way that happens in nature. | Arca |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| I’ve gotten a lot more disciplined since dating Sue. | Megan Rapinoe |
| Halloween might be a time that’s renowned for ghosts, but we no longer experience ghosts only on Halloween. In our dating lives, we are now used to being ‘ghosted’ the whole year round. | Matthew Hussey |
