David Levithan
But if I didn’t want to be alone, then why didn’t I want to be with anyone else?
David Levithan
The way you argued with me, you would have thought that we were debating the existence of God or whether or not we should move in together. These kinds of fights can never be won – even if you’re the victor, you’ve hurt the other person, and there has to be some loss associated with that.
David Levithan
I can flirt with the best of them, but only when it doesn't matter.
David Levithan
He’ll have to prove it to you. Every day, he’ll have to prove he’s worthy of you. And if he doesn’t, that’s it. But I think he will.
David Levithan
