Few things are harder than dating in your 20s. Through the break ups, let downs, and all the surprises along the way, sometimes a girl just needs a lifeline. Over the course of six seasons and two films, "Sex and the City" has provided women with that lifeline. Here are the top ten quotes from our favorite foursome—Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha—to help you sort through the dating world.
1. For when your heart is broken by someone you’ve never even met—like maybe your secret crush in chemistry class—or in Miranda’s case, the man who stands you up.
“He doesn't even know me, the least he could do is get to know me before he rejects me.” – Miranda Hobbs
2. For when, despite your best efforts, what happened in the bedroom has to be a deal breaker.
“He raped my face. I'm never dating again.” – Charlotte York
3. For when you need a reminder that being single is absolutely fabulous.
“Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you. Now it means you’re pretty sexy and you’re taking your time deciding how you want your life to be and who you want to spend it with.” – Carrie Bradshaw
4. For when your relationship feels all consuming.
“Maybe all men are a drug. Sometimes they bring you down, and sometimes, like now, they get you so high.” – Carrie Bradshaw
5. For when your love life feels completely hopeless.
“Eventually all the pieces fall into place….until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moment, and know that everything happens for a reason.” – Carrie Bradshaw
6. For when the slut shamers get you down and you need the perfect reminder to own your personal decisions and sexuality.
“I will not be judged by you or society. I will wear whatever and blow whomever I want as long as I can breathe—and kneel.” – Samantha Jones
7. For when you feel guilty about your need for revenge against your ex.
“Oh please, there’s always a competition with an ex, it’s called ‘who’ll die miserable?'” –Samantha Jones
8. For when you realize the relationship really is over.
“And finally, the most important break up rule: no matter who broke your heart, or how long it takes to heal, you’ll never get through it, without your friends.” – Carrie Bradshaw
9. For when realize exactly what you need.
“I’m someone who is looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can’t live without each other love.” – Carrie Bradshaw
10. For when you need a reminder that boyfriends aren’t everything.
