You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back.

Men aren't the way they are because they want to drive women crazy they've been trained to be that way for thousands of years. And that training makes it very difficult for men to be intimate.

When you make a commitment to a relationship, you invest your attention and energy in it more profoundly because you now experience ownership of that relationship.

Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away.
