Quote from Ted in Pilot
Ted: You know what? I'm done being single. I'm not good at it. Look, obviously you can't tell a woman you just met you love her. But it sucks that you can't. I'll tell you something though, if a woman - not you, just some hypothetical woman - were to bare with me through all this. I think I'd make a damn good husband. Because that's the stuff I'd be good at. Stuff like making her laugh and being a good father. And walking her five hypothetical dogs. Being a good kisser. Robin: Everyone thinks they're a good kisser. Ted: Oh, I've got references.
