Quote by Ryan Landry

“If you claim to want a family, then you must seek a woman who wants a family. She may not say so at 22, but does she have the signs of a future mother? Place a baby in her arms. The more she looks at it and the less she looks at you holding the baby, the better. Watch her around children. Watch her around her grandparents. Watch her behavior when a friend is ill. Watch her with her dog. If a woman can dress up a dog and cry at its vet visits, she will cry for a child and already wants one, even if she doesn’t know it yet. She just has not found a man to lead her to motherhood, one who satisfied her primal standards.”

The man who never gets his woman flowers leaves open a powerful possibility. The week that he does will be the one she will always remember. There is no sense in being a harmless rabbit, even if it is your nature. She wants a mysterious or dangerous animal who can show clemency and make an exception for her benefit.”

“Eventually, Coleen calls. We have coffee. Coleen asks, “Why haven’t you called?” I’m inadequate at breaking up too. I say, “I’ve been really busy.” “Will you call later?” “Not sure.” Our relationship won’t end in fireworks. Instead, it’ll end in a whimper. I see myself as she does, a bad boyfriend. Coleen is frustrated, exasperated that I’ve kept her at a distance. We sip coffee. The world passes. I’m convinced that if I continue trying, one day I’ll succeed.”
