By Jess Catcher

No matter what time of life you’re in, looking for love and romance can be a difficult task. Meeting someone new can bring back all those nervous jitters you used to get as a teen when you’d see your crush in the hallways. Being older doesn’t make much of a difference to matters of the heart. This is proof that there’s no time limit on dating — it doesn’t matter if you’re on your second or third round of searching for “the one,” everyone deserves the chance to feel that love from their perfect match.

Of course, that search also tends to come with a couple of bumps along the road while looking for Mr. Right. Those lucky enough to fall effortlessly in love are few and far between, which makes all of the quotes below so darn relatable. Whether they’re celebrating the way a kiss feels or hilariously highlighting the uncertainty of diving into a new relationship, each one will definitely resonate with anyone who’s ever been on a date. Take a look to see which quote you relate to most and share it with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest by using the circular buttons under each one!

  2. "Love is like a virus: It can happen to anybody at any time." - Maya Angelou

    We're used to the beloved poet taking a more serious tone in her quotes, which is what makes this tongue-in-cheek statement about love even more fun!

  4. "No matter how 'lovesick' a woman is, she shouldn't take the first 'pill' that comes along." - Joyce Brothers

    The renowned psychiatrist had a knack for putting things succinctly, just like this advice for making sure we don't settle for the first romance that happens to come around if it isn't truly the best for us.

  5. "I want a man who is kind and understanding. Is that too much to ask of a millionaire?" - Zsa Zsa Gabor

    Zsa Zsa and her sister Eva were known for their luxurious lifestyles and collection of sparkling accessories, but really, who wouldn't want to fall in love with a millionaire?

  6. "Don't look for a partner who is eye candy. Look for a partner who is soul food." - Karen Salmansohn

    You have to admit, the best-selling author has a point when it comes to falling for a pretty face rather than the whole package.

  8. "A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous." - Ingrid Bergman

    This quote is admittedly difficult to really pin down, but we can totally imagine the glamorous actress saying this in one of her films.

  9. "Basically, dating is like climbing into a volcano and you never know when it's going to erupt, dumping molten lava and burning you." - Robin Bielman
