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.

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.

Look at Jay-Z and Beyonce. Everybody knew Jay and Beyonce were dating. They were sitting around at award shows together like they weren’t together for a while before they came out and said whatever.

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.

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 Parkmovie, the solo recordssome people only know the merchandising stuff.

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

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

You have to put the best foot forward.

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.

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.

The very phraseOscar 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.

No matter how love-sick a woman is, she shouldn’t take the first pill that comes along.

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.

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.’

I don’t understand the whole dating thing. I know right off the bat if I’m interested in someone, and I don’t want them to waste their money on me and take me out to eat if I know I’m not interested in that person.

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!

You may hear the most beautiful things, you may hear promises, you may hear everything you want to hear but if the person you’re dating is not following up with their actions then they’re just words.

Nancy Juvonen
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.

If you cry over a guy, then your friends can’t date him. It can’t even be considered.

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
One can’t plan marriage or dating.

There isn’t a way to depict the gay community without at least mentioning the existence of online dating apps like Grindr.

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.

I’m dating myself by saying this, but I was the test audience for ‘Space Invaders.’ I remember when that was the first game that wasn’t a pinball game. I spent a lot of money on ‘Space Invaders,’ in the form of quarters, of course.

Golf and dating don’t mix.

I’m very open to dating and finding a guy.

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.

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.

Dating apps are brilliant for expanding your actual social network, which leads you to meet other people.

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.

If you’re dating the quarterback and then you go out with the hockey player, you just go to the hockey games. I don’t think I’ll still go to the football games.

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.’

I was so focused on advancing in my career that I didn’t have enough emotional capacity for dating.

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.

My original inspiration was my mom: a few years after the death of my dad, she started dating one my teachers!

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.

But I am not a serial dater or anything like that. Maybe when lockdown is over, I can do speed dating for weeks on end!

I go out to dinner occasionally and that’s the sum of my dating life.

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.

I dated dozens of young men, had fun with all, made commitments to none.

Oh, my dating skills are the worst. No, I pick the wrong men; it’s amazing. I am awful, the worst dater.

Paget Brewster
Dating is hard enough in the light, so I can’t wait to see what unfolds when the lights are off!

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.

My dating advice for Paris would be just to take your time.

I’m not waiting for Mr Right. I’d be open to dating, but I’m happy not. I’m not on Tinder or anything.

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.

I’m not very experienced with boys or the whole dating thingy.

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.

For a long time, I had a crazy girl dating habit.

Smart women love smart men more than smart men love smart women.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Anybody I’m dating, I don’t want them to talk about my music. I don’t talk about my music to them.

With the release of her fourth album, ‘Red,’ in 2012 and a handful of highly publicized romances, Taylor was criticized by the press and other entertainers for such sinful acts as dating people and writing songs about it, gaining a reputation as boy-crazy and love-ridden.

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.

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.

I don’t date my girlfriend because she’s a model. I date her because I love her.

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.

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.

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.

I think that dating other musicians can be complicated at times. Especially when they think highly of themselves.

Women are like cars: we all want a Ferrari, sometimes want a pickup truck, and end up with a station wagon.

Just about every young model and actress is dating somebody in the entertainment field, because these are the people you meet. You’re not going to very easily meet a normal person in this line of work.

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.

That’s the dating world. You just keep losing. Everyone does.

Riki Lindhome
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.

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.

I write about what I know: teenage dating, overly charged sexuality, all the things that make you uncomfortable.

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 think the good thing about ‘Take Me Out’, which is kind of a compliment to us really, is that when it started doing well round about the second series and people started getting into it, all of a sudden every time you turned over a channel there’s a new dating show on.

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 sea hath fish for every man.

William Camden
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.

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.

I don’t believe in casual dating. I think that’s nonsense.

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.

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.

To find a prince, you gotta kiss some toads.

Foxy Brown
For me, I’ve learned if I want a very stable, normal relationship, where I’ll be like, ‘Okay, this is nice, I know what’s going to happen in a month,’ it’s probably better to date outside the industry. But you can’t help who you fall for. It’s our dating pool.

I dated a lot, but I never really had anyone who was worthy of an anniversary. And most girlfriends never made it to a year, anyway.

I started dating JD Samson from Le Tigre, and suddenly I was listening to more up-tempo music and old dance music, like ESG and Gang of Four, and I thought, ‘Wow. This is fun.’

I need a life outside of soccer. So I very much welcome, you know, new love interests and dating and friends and family.

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.

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
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.

It’s easy to blame technology for what we perceive to be a vast disconnect between people. We’re so wrapped up in social media, texting, online dating – in many ways, we’re addicted to our devices.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
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.

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.

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
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.

I was dating this guy and we would spend all day text messaging each other. And he thought that he could tell that he liked me more because he actually spelt the word ‘YOU’ and I just put the letter ‘U’.

When a girl is single, everyone wants to find out who she is dating.

Ankita Lokhande
The best dating advice I can give is… are you going in it for marriage, or are you going in it for just a date? You’ve got to be open about it right away, because the other person could be in it for marriage, but you’re not.

If your best friend has stolen your girlfriend, it does become life and death.

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.

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.

I got married at 18 after dating my boyfriend for about a year. It was quick, I know. My husband joined the Army, and I thought I’d go to college. But we moved to Fort Hood for his job with no money, not even a car.

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 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 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.

Dating and getting attention from boys was something that came later to me.

Rachelle Lefevre
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?

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.

I used to be a real prince charming if I went on a date with a girl. But then I’d get to where I was likely to have a stroke from the stress of keeping up my act. I’ve since learned the key to a good date is to pay attention on her.

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.

Anything I take up or do, I have to consult Shilpa. From what I wear to who I am dating, I make her a part of everything as I have faith in her judgment.

I like the bad-boy types. Generally the guy I’m attracted to is the guy in the club with all the tattoos and nail polish. He’s usually the lead singer in a punk band and plays guitar. But my serious boyfriends are relatively clean-cut, nice guys. So it’s strange.

Megan Fox
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.

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.

I have put gay dating on the map.

I’m often dating people, but I don’t say it because you sort of know it won’t last long.

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
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.

In the age of social media and dating apps, so many people are able to hide behind their Instagram page or their Raya page or Facebook. And it’s like, ‘Let’s set something up! I want to meet face-to-face.’ And ‘Take Me’ was about, ‘Are you going to take me out? Do I have to be the first person to make the move?’

Dating is hard in general, especially in places like L.A. and New York.

I normally don’t ever talk about my dating life or anything super personal in the press just because I feel like there’s this fine line between what to keep to myself and what to share.

A bachelor never quite gets over the idea that he is a thing of beauty and a boy forever.

We had a much bigger vision than creating a dating site.

No man should marry until he has studied anatomy and dissected at least one woman.

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.

I was single for a while and dating and… I just didn’t know how to do it! I’ve always been like that: when I was 15, there was a guy I liked, and we made out, and I thought that meant he was my boyfriend.

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.

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.

When you’re dating a rock star, it’s not about commitment and marriage.

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.

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.

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

I am a young girl, and I am open to dating, but at the risk of sounding cliched, I really don’t have the time for it.

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.

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.

No matter how liberal or modern a family is, there will always be resistance when someone discloses that they are dating someone.

I think we are the first feminist or first attempt at a feminist dating app.

No way will I put my family and my life on the TV or be involved with something like a dating show or any type of reality show.

My wife and I started dating in 11th grade.

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.’

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.

I left my husband and I thought ‘I’m never dating ever again.’

Women always try to see the one good part of The Weird Guy because the dating landscape is so bleak. Women will say, ‘He’s very odd, but he likes to cook. He’s creepy, but he makes good pancakes!’

Zoe Lister-Jones
A month alone would make me so happy. Not good for my dating prospects.

Sometimes when people start dating a hot piece, they take on some of their boo‘s characteristics unintentionally.

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.

I was 34 years old, and I knew that I wanted a possibility of having a family one day, but I wasn’t dating anyone obviously because I’m living at the mansion. But I just wanted to make sure I had the possibility, so I froze my eggs back then and that was my insurance policy for later on in life.

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