8. "You Should Put Yourself Out There"
"You need to make yourself more presentable and maybe have a wash because those books aren't going to be able to keep you warm at night." Maybe not, but you know that you'd rather fall hopelessly in love with a fictional character every night of the week than have to share a bed with someone that you don't love anymore. As for putting yourself out there, where are you supposed to go? You're out there living your life like you normally would so why are your friends telling you take a break from your routine and go to another book shop or pay to go sky diving - because falling in love with your instructor will happen, that's why.
