| 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 |

| 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 |
| 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 |

| People get married for a wide array of reasons and have all sorts of expectations of how marriage will change the relationship.

Gordon |
| 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 |

| I grew up, I had three uncles and… I loved Uncle Donald because he gave me dating advice, and I was, like, 5.

| 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.

Instead, take a step back and say, ‘I’m OK alone.’ | Whitney Wolfe Herd |
| Even though many couples are choosing to marry later in life, our laws haven’t been updated to address dating partner abuse. | Gabrielle Giffords |

| The fact that Manti Te’o thought for a long time that he was dating, like, a fake girl and then that she died and did the tribute and the girl never existed. I mean inherently that’s funny. | Dave Portnoy |
| 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 |
| This is what I hate about dating – when you just don’t know where you stand. I’m pretty honest, I’ll say, ‘Hey I don’t know what’s going on,’ but I don’t like the game of it. Like, do we like each other? Great, well let’s explore that. | Hannah Brown |
| 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. | Richard Shelby |
| 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 |

| So if I was dating somebody now and the relationship didn’t work out, I’d take that as failing. | Gavin DeGraw |

| 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 |
| I’ve been in plenty of situations where someone I’m dating had more time for a console than me. | Josie Maran |
| 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 |

| I want my audience to know me for my work, not because of who I’m dating or what drugs I’m on or what club I went to. | Shia LaBeouf |
| 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’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’m honest about the journey I’ve been on, so I definitely don’t take dating lightly anymore. | Demi Lovato |
| 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 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 not great at dating, but I need to do it to relax. | Lena Dunham |

| 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’m finally dating. It’s fun. | Kristin Chenoweth |
| 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 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 |

| I don’t mind dating younger men now. | Jackee Harry |
| 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 |
| 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. | Zosia Mamet |
| 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 |
| 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 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 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 |
| Yeah, I think everybody has the crises of questioning themselves at some point or other in their lives. Is this where I should live? The job I should have? The girl I should be dating? Is this the friend I should have? | Chris Messina |

| I don’t have dating tips. | Bill Keller |
| Dating co-stars is natural. When you’re working with someone, it’s habit. | Rachel Bilson |
| I don’t really talk about my personal life. It’s a strange and funny and weird thing. Sometimes you have a conversation with someone and the paparazzi snaps a picture of you and people decide you’re dating. If I try to answer everything people say, I would be up all night. | Tracee Ellis Ross |
| Here’s the funny thing about the response I’ve been aware of to my dating famous people: It’s been very negative. I’m either not good-looking enough, not a good enough actor or not successful enough for these people. | Dax Shepard |
| Dating in Los Angeles can be hard, which makes it all the better when you meet a really nice guy. | Lauren Conrad |
| I’m not old-fashioned when it comes to dating, but there’s something nice about a guy pulling out a girl’s chair and opening the door for her, even if it’s just in the beginning. | Lauren Conrad |
| I don’t have the best dating track record. | Lauren Conrad |
| Dating is all about the chase. It’s fun! | Lauren Conrad |

| 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. | Jesse Metcalfe |
| 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’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 |
| Dating is for tools. | Neil Strauss |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| Dating has taught me what I want and don’t want, who I am, and who I want to be. | Jennifer Love Hewitt |
| 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 |

| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 never going to say anything about who I’m dating unless I’m married or engaged. | Kirsten Dunst |
| 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 |
| I’ve been dating since I was 15 years old, and I just don’t seem to do it well. | Harvey Fierstein |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 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 |
| 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 |
| People tend to look at dating sort of like a safari – like they’re trying to land the trophy. | Henry Cloud |
| ‘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 |
| 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 |
| 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 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 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 |
| Smallpox, which spreads by respiration and kills roughly one in three of those infected, took hundreds of millions of lives during a recorded history dating to Pharaonic Egypt. The last case was in 1978, and the disease was declared eradicated on May 8, 1980. | Barton Gellman |
| I’m doin’ something different. I mean, I talk a little bit about race and interracial dating, but it’s not the heart of my act. I just try to do what I think is funny; there’s no huge message or through line. | Hannibal Buress |
| My husband’s a little younger than me. When I first started dating him, I just fell mad for him. I made a deal with myself: I was like, ‘I’m not gonna get weird about what the future might be. I’m just going to be in every moment I can and enjoy us to the fullest.’ I told him that, too. | Joelle Carter |
| Good-looking individuals are treated better than homely ones in virtually every social situation, from dating to trial by jury. If everyday experience hasn’t convinced you of this, there’s research that will. | Martha Beck |
| When you’re young and dating someone, just play it safe and don’t try so hard. | Matt Prokop |
| 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 |
| 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 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 |
| The thing about dating someone who listens to a totally different genre than you is they can help you find things to appreciate in that genre. | Hannah Simone |
| ‘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 |
| 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. | Scott Westerfeld |
| Honestly, I think dating is hard. Period. | Sevyn Streeter |
| Dating someone on the opposite end of the happy spectrum teaches you an incredible amount of patience. | Chris Pine |
| It’s tough to be 68 and dating. I’ve given it up now. | Ian McLagan |
| I’m not very good at dating. I’m very decisive. If I like someone, then they’re my boyfriend. It’s pretty straightforward. | Vinessa Shaw |
| When I was in high school, the genders were so separate from each other. If you weren’t ‘dating’ somebody, you couldn’t just be friends with somebody. | S. E. Hinton |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 can’t imagine dating someone famous. I try to stay away from that as much as I can. | Dylan Penn |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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’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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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’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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
