Brett:
[talking to Rob about the complexity of dating]
Getting into a relationship with a woman these days is like... [gives him an example] Brett: it's like getting into a cab with a driver that doesn't speak English. I mean you tell them where you wanna go when you start off, and they nod and smile and you think they've understood. And then all of a sudden you look up, and you're driving down 'moving in' street, or 'having a baby' street, and you say 'no I never wanted to go here' and then they start yelling at you in some language you don't even understand. Man I tell you something, from now on I'm walking. See more » |
