    Memorable Quotes"The reality is, when we get into relationships, until a lot of us do this work on ourselves: man, woman, doesn't matter what gender, it's an inner child in a relationship with another inner child.""A misconception is, what's wrong with being a nice guy? I want a nice guy in my life. But over time, you're not going to want that because he won't let you go."“The fear of speaking up, the fear of making decisions, being indecisive, that's all signs of being the nice guy."Connect with Kevin
