Want to know how to deal with those type of boys, those f*** boys as they are called. Well here are quotes that can directly relate to any interaction with these type of guys.
1. "A girl likes to be a crossed in love a little now and then. It is something to think of, and gives her a sort of distinction among her companions" (Pride and Prejudice).
When you knowingly take on a f***boy to shake things up. The gossiping about him with friends is always the best part: before, during, after.
2. "A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment" (Pride and Prejudice).
When you get a "what's up?" text from that cute guy in your econ class and immediately see your entirely future flash before your eyes: beagle puppy, stylish mid-sized car, successful careers.
3. "He is a rogue of course, but a civil one" (Letter, October 1815).
When he might just be a bad boy, and you just might like it. He's got Wickham written all over him!
4. "One fatal swoon has cost me my Life...Beware of swoons" (Love and Friendship, 1790).
When you get drawn in by twinkling eyes and deep dimples that could rival Fitzwilliam Darcy. You swoon and you swoon hard, girl.
5. "My hair was at least tidy, which was all my ambition" (Letter, November 1800).
When you arrive back to your room post-hookup and through your roommates disapproving looks you remind her it could be worse.
6. "It would be mortifying to the feelings of many ladies, could they be made to understand how little the heart of man is affected by what is costly or new in their attire" (Northanger Abbey).
When you spend tons on a new outfit and begrudgingly blow dry your hair for him to barely look at you.
7. "A man always imagines a woman to be ready for anybody who asks her" (Emma).
When he's not used to hearing no. Put him in his place, girl.
8. "If there is anything disagreeable going on men are always sure to get out of it" (Persuasion).
When he bails on you the second you need a ride from the grocery store, just one or two of his French fries, or the notes from class. Basically, whenever he bails. Which is often.
9. "We certainly do not forget you as soon as you forget us" (Persuasion).
When you're writing in your journal about how much he sucks for the umpteenth time. Even though you swore you would never better his name again.
10. "You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion for my poor nerves" (Pride and Prejudice."
When you finally tell him off. YES GIRL.
11. "Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love" (Northanger Abbey).
When you know that no matter how many times they shook their heads at you for putting up with his f***boy-ness, your friends will always be there with a movie night and some pizza when you're sad.
12. "Mr. Digweed has used us basely. Handsome is as handsome does; he is therefore a very ill-looking man" (Letter, January 1813
When the perfect arms and killer smile mean nothing with an ugly personality. Also, totally going to start using Mr. Digweed as an insult. Thank you, Ms. Austen.
