Quotes 

• Alicia Lawson : Look, if someone doesn't want to be on a date with me, then guess what? They don't have to be on a date with me.

  Caitlin Dowd : That guy at the club last night, when he asked me if I was with you, I should have said it. I didn't want to say it. He'd just ask me questions. Am I gay? Am I straight? Am I with you? These are things other people know about themselves that I, apparently, don't know about myself. It's really scary to realize you don't know them. I've never even had a really serious, really successful relationship. I don't think I can honestly say I've even had a semi-serious, moderately successful relationship. These are things you should probably know about me before you get in a relationship with me.

  Alicia Lawson : Caitlin, we just met a week ago. We haven't even had a complete date yet.

  Caitlin Dowd : So, too soon for the R-word then?

• Mia Mason : What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be on your "lady date"?

  Caitlin Dowd : I screwed it up! We ran into this guy I used to go out with and I should have told him to get lost, but I didn't.

  Mia Mason : Ugh!

  Caitlin Dowd : I know! I just stood there, this guy I used to go out with on one side of me, and this girl I'm going out with on the other side of me, and I'm thinking to myself, "Do I even know how to have a relationship?" 'Cause I don't think I do! My life is like a romantic comedy that's never romantic... or comedic. My life is nothing like a romantic comedy!

• Juliet Draper : [to Caitlin]  You're gay now?

  Mia Mason : Oh, she's not gay. You know what? She's hip. It's the thing to do. It's like when everyone was pregnant, you know. Lesbians are the new babies.

  Caitlin Dowd : Excuse me, can the possible lesbian answer that question? I don't know if I'm gay or I'm straight. I don't want to join a union yet or anything. I met someone I like. It happens to be a woman. That's all I got. Just please, be supportive. I don't want your opinion or permission. And don't act like this never happened to any of you.

  Mia Mason : Well, I went to Wellesley. It's practically part of the curriculum.

  Zoe Burden : I made out with Jenny McGruber at summer camp. She was really good at lanyard. I had some amazing plastic jewelry that summer.

  Juliet Draper : I was trying to process one lesbian...

  [stares at Mia and Zoe] 

  Juliet Draper : Now I have three.

• Zoe Burden : Let's do you next. What man do you want from this list?

  Caitlin Dowd : I'm good.

  Zoe Burden : What? What do you mean "You're good?" You're never "good".

  Caitlin Dowd : Thanks a lot. I am... have a date.

  Zoe Burden : Really?

  Juliet Draper : You did mention last week you kissed someone.

  Mia Mason : You've been holding out on us. With whom?

  Caitlin Dowd : With a woman.

  [Mia, Zoe, and Juliet all stare wide-eyed and shocked at Caitlin] 

  Mia Mason : You really have been holding out on us!
