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 days
3. 3 weeks
4. 7 months
5. 1.5 years/18 months
6. 18 years
7. death

as 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.
robin: i usually don’t get this far in a relationship. i usually take the 3 week exit.
lily: don’t tell me you’re actually buying into barney’s “freeway theory”
