Just because I’m single and don’t date a lot, that doesn’t make me a lesbian.
Oh God. She probably thinks we were off doing—you know—romantic type, um, things—
Never assume that the guy understands that you and he have a relationship.
Coming from a family where the parents had been together for 40 years, you never imagine that divorce is going to happen to you.
I've dated all kinds of guys and didn't know who I'd end up with. But I kind of assumed it would be someone more like my dad than not.
The most hurtful thing to me is when people try to put assumptions on me and my relationship because that is not OK. Love is something that's really serious and private that you can't try to claim or know.
People always assume that bachelors are single by choice and spinsters because nobody asked them. It never enters their heads that poor bachelors might have worn the knees of their trousers out proposing to girls who rejected them or that a girl might deliberately stay unmarried.
People are going to make their own minds up, and seeing how happy people are together and how much fun they're having, people are always going to think 'ooh are they in a relationship? They look so happy together.'
Sadly, people think a guy and a girl can't be friends without something romantic going on.
Especially in writing love stories, there's always the assumption that once you've said 'I do,' once you get to the point where you're married, well, the hard part is over.
