There's something about this actor that allows him to know all the right things to say and when to say them. I mean, who knew Tom Hiddleston's quotes about love would form my new guide to dating, but here we are. It seems that in his years of being single, he's become that one friend of yours who doesn't date a lot but who has a lot of knowledge about dating and is therefore your goto whenever you have relationship problems.
It helps that Hiddleston is a pretty inspirational speaker who uses big words and flowery sentences to charm everyone. If you think he sounds poetic talking about every day life, just wait until you actually hear him talk about love. Over the years since his Hollywood debut, the actor has opened up about his former flames, his definition of intimacy, and the importance of spreading love. His words are wonderful and whether you're in a relationship or not, they hold a lot of truth and wisdom for everyone alike.
Here are 11 of his best quotes about love that will make you smile and melt your heart all at the same time.
"I THINK IF YOU’RE GOING TO BE CONVENTIONALLY ROMANTIC YOU’VE GOT TO GO ALL THE WAY: A BEAUTIFUL DINNER SOMEWHERE LOVELY, WITH BOAT-LOADS OF FLOWERS, CHOCOLATES AND CHAMPAGNE. BUT IT MIGHT ALSO BE NICE TO WRAP UP WARM AND SIT ON A ROOF SOMEWHERE, WITH A CUP OF HOT SOUP AND YOUR GIRL, WATCH THE PLANES COME IN OVER LONDON AND LISTEN TO THE NIGHT."
Attention: we now know Tom Hiddleston's perfect date and it just made me like him even more, the romantic bastard.
"I GUESS THE SEXIEST THING IN THE WORLD IS WHEN I MEET SOMEONE AND THEY SEEM LIKE THEY ARE THEMSELVES. YOU KNOW, BE YOURSELF."
So now you know what Hiddles considers sexy. Do with that information what you will.
"YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH A POSSIBILITY ... THERE'S NO SELF PERSUASION. IT'S JUST 'I HAVE TO DO THAT, AND THAT'S WHERE I'M GOING.'"
If anyone can capture that feeling of being in love, it's wordsmith Hiddleston.
"‘OH. SO YOU LIKE STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM AND YOU LIKE VANILLA ICE CREAM.’ IT’S ALL GOOD. IT’S ALL ICE CREAM."
Tom Hiddleston's way of defining sexual orientation is amazing. Everyone needs to understand it like this.
"IT’S ALL ABOUT SPREADING THE LOVE."
I'm pretty sure in another life Hiddleston was a nonviolent peace protester or something because he just gets it.
"YOU CAN’T REALLY LEGISLATE FOR THE DECISIONS THAT YOUR HEART MAKES."
Someone tell that to all the anti-gay marriage politicians ASAP.
"TRUE LOVE IS AN ACCEPTANCE OF SOMEONE ELSE FOR WHO THEY ARE."
"HONESTY IS A GIFT—TO BE HONEST ABOUT WHO YOU ARE AND HOW YOU FEEL—BECAUSE IT ENCOURAGES INTIMACY, AND INTIMACY IS REALLY WHERE’S IT AT."
I love that intimacy for Hiddleston goes beyond the physical into the emotional connection a pair shares through being honest with one another.
"MAKE SURE YOU TELL THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE THAT YOU LOVE THEM. LOUDLY AND OFTEN. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT MIGHT BE TOO LATE.”
Always good advice.
"[I DECIDED TO SURPRISE MY GIRLFRIEND IN PARIS] ... SHE WAS STANDING IN FRONT OF A STAND WITH DIFFERENT FLAVORS OF ICE CREAM AND COULDN’T DECIDE WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE. I CAME, STOOD UP BEHIND HER AND GENTLY WHISPERED: 'IT’S A HARD CHOICE, ISN’T IT?' ... MY DEED WAS EVEN TOO ROMANTIC AS MY GIRLFRIEND HAD ALMOST FAINTED FROM FEAR. SINCE THEN I’VE BECOME MORE CAREFUL IN ROMANTIC ACTIONS."
Tom Hiddleston: making women faint since even before he was a movie star.
"OF COURSE, THERE’S SO MUCH LOVE TO GIVE."
This was something he said after a fan asked for a hug. I rest my case, Hiddleston is the sweetest man on the planet.
