freeway theory
Formulated by
Barney Stinson of "How I Met Your Mother", detailing how relationships are like freeways, and there are exits that can be taken to get out of them:1. 6 hours (aka one night stand)2. 4 days3. 3 weeks4. 7 months5. 1.5 years/
18 months6. 18 years7. deathAs Robin would later put it, if one person says, "I love you", then the relationship moves into the
carpool lane, where there is a big diamond.
