I can’t make any promises. I have no idea what the future…
““I can’t make any promises. I have no idea what the future holds and I’ve never been in a monogamous relationship before. And to be clear, that’s what this would be. But I’m not going to tell you that everything will work out all right, because I don’t know that. Unlike my father, I’m not going to make promises I can’t keep. What I can tell you is that I want to spend time with you. I want to find out what side of the bed you like to sleep on. I want to know where that little scar on your inner thigh came from. I want to figure out whether you’re a morning person or a night owl. I want it to be me you ask what dress you should wear on a night out. I want to know how you take your coffee in the morning and what kind of movies make you cry. I want to know everything there is to know about you…and I want you to want all those things, too.” That was the single most romantic thing anyone had ever said to me.””
