Quote from Frasier in I'm Listening
Frasier: Dad, when are you going to stop playing games and tell her how you feel? Martin: It's too soon. We've only been seeing each other a few weeks. I don't want to scare her off. Frasier: How do you know you're going to scare her off? Martin: Well, look at her, Fras. She's young, she's got all these guys after her. I'm lucky she even gave me a second glance. I don't want to blow it by looking like some desperate old guy with no options. Frasier: It's not desperate to tell somebody how you feel about them. Martin: What if she doesn't feel the same way? Frasier: What if she does and you never find out?
