The Friend Zone Quotes

Shawn Calvert: The biggest mistake I ever made was believing at nineteen years old that I needed to have my whole life figured out. That's when I fell in love for the first time. But while I was home planning our wedding and naming our future children, she was going out with what seemed like any guy besides me.
