Quotes / Ladykiller in Love

Once Upon a Time, there was a young man with a beautiful face. People loved the young man, but he never showed interest in loving anyone, because all he loved was himself.

[Angrboda] saw herself through [Loki's] eyes - so solemn, does she never smile? But there is that fire behind her eyes. Nothing stands in her way. Any other woman I could run over, but not her. She is a cold red lily with steel knives for petals, a sleek and beautiful beast with deadly fangs. I wonder if I could make her smile. I need to make her smile - but all I do merely angers her! My charm falls as nothing at her feet. No, I know that she would settle for no compliments, no charms, no words even. Nothing less than my soul. And I long to give that to her...but I am so afraid. I am so afraid that I cannot even speak of it. I cannot speak, and that is something that I will not have-

Lily: Barney, how can you be in love and still be sleeping with anything that moves?

— How I Met Your Mother

Once you're kissed by Amy,
Tear up your list, it's Amy
Ply her with bonbons, poetry and flowers
Moon a million hours away...
You might be quite the fickle-hearted rover, so carefree and bold,
Who loves a girl and later thinks it over and just quits cold.
But once in love with Amy, always in love with Amy.

Naveen: You know you [Tiana] have had quite an influence on me. Which is amazing, because I have dated thousands of women and —

(Tiana gives him an annoyed look)

Naveen: Uh — No. Like two, three, just other women! And anyway you could not be more different. You know you are — you are practically one of the guys!

(Tiana gives a surprised look)

Naveen: No, no, no. You are not a guy! Let me begin again. Uh — (trips, and knocks over the minced meal) Ah, I am not myself tonight. Tiana! Sorry that was loud. This is a disaster.

Tiana: No. It's cute.

— The Princess and the Frog

I must've been through about a million girls
I'd love 'em and I'd leave 'em alone
I didn't care how much they cried, no sir
Their tears left me cold as a stone
But then I fooled around and fell in love...
It used to be when I'd see a girl that I like
I'd get out my book and write down her name
But when the grass got a little greener on the other side
I'd just tear out that page...
Free on my own, that's the way I used to be
But since I met you baby, love's got a hold on me now!

—Elvin Bishop, "Fooled Around and Fell In Love"

BoJack: Oh, yes.
Wanda: Of course I haven't had sex in 30 years. I hope.

Wanda: What is it?

BoJack: I don't know. I-I feel weird. Like I wanna spend more time with you even though I know we just had sex.
Wanda: Oh, okay.

BoJack: No. You don't understand. We already had sex, but I still want to spend time with you. Is than normal? Am I normal? What is happening to me?

Wanda: It's okay, we can spend more time together.

BoJack: I want to do things with you. Fully clothed, sober, in daylight hours

Wanda: Okay.

BoJack: I don't understand these feelings. Let's get food or walk in park. Oh, God. It's coming. I can't stop it — Do you want to go to Disneyland?

Wanda: ...Okay?

— Bojack Horseman

No fear but I think I'm falling
I'm not proud
But I'm usually the type of girl that would hit and run
No risk so I think I'm all in
When I kiss your lips, feel my heartbeat thump

And now we're way up, dancing on the roof of the house
And then we make love, right there on your best friend's couch
And then you say, "Love, this is what it's all about"
So keep on kissing my mouth and put that record on again

— Rita Ora, "Your Song"

Roz: Wait a minute! I know what you're doing! All this love stuff, it's just another way to get me into bed!

Without a love to tie me down
I always used to kiss and run,
I never wanted love to catch me...

Strangers at night were good enough
But love's not a thing you get to choose
Try to resist, you'll always lose.

You wanna run it up, I wanna lock it down...

"Look, I... had a plan. A nice, simple plan: seduce you, sleep with you, manipulate your feelings so you'd never turn on me. It was easy... instinctive. Habits from two hundred years of charming people kicked in. All you had to do... was fall for it. And all I had to do was not fall for you... which is where my nice, simple plan... fell apart."

— Astarion, Baldur's Gate III
