“‘Am I your boyfriend?’ is the kind of question a nine-year-old asks another nine-year-old. It had no place in a sophisticated relationship. I knew the rules — I was meant to be cool and relaxed, laid-back and casual. At first maybe we’d ‘see’ each other (which meant that she’d still ‘see’ other people), then maybe we’d date (which would mean that she wouldn’t see other people even though she might want to), and then finally we’d be boyfriend and girlfriend (by which time she wouldn’t want to see other people because she’d be happy with me).” – My Legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
