Natalie Bemoans the Realities of Modern Dating
“It has been said in Greek mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs, and a head with two faces.

And if that’s true, then Zeus is an asshole.”

Natalie Takes a Chance on a Christmas Miracle
“What if I write a piece about a girl on the verge of completely giving up on love when she comes to find the perfect guy might actually exist? So she risks it all. Her sanity, her common sense, her ability to ever be on The Bachelor, and it’s worth it because they fall in love just in time for Christmas.”
Josh Reveals Why He Resorted to Catfishing
“I had my profile up for a year, and guess how many matches I got? Three. And one of them was my old English teacher. She’s 70 now, and has a pacemaker. Having sex with her would literally kill her.”

Josh: “Well, I don’t know how to show that in a photo.”
Natalie: “Well, for starters, you have to believe that it’s true. And then, once you do, trust me, it’ll show.”
Josh Realizes the Error of His Catfishing Ways
“Here’s the thing. You’re not just fooling yourself. There’s someone else on the other side of that lie falling in love with a version of you that doesn’t exist. And that’s not fair, because the only way it ends for them is disappointment. And the only way it ends for you is heartbreak. If I’ve learned anything, it’s that love doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be honest.”
