he's just not that into you - I

Hello !

Time and again, women have been wondering why they don't get picked from a crowd to be a lawfully wedded wife of a handsome young man; to walk alongside a very cute tall boy as his chirpy girlfriend; blah; blah; blah !

They are told lies. The are sometimes misled. They are very often misguided.

By whom ?

Their own kind !

On a very special day a year ago, my group of frandships gave me a small pink book. I haven't had the "courage" and most importantly the need to open it - as yet ! Finally I did. Besides the pink-ness making me happy - the words of wisdom that flow from this tiny collection of wholesome truths (by Greg Behrendt & Liz Tuccillo) - make me happier !

As Kiki, I have decided to share a few sections of this "gift" with You !

Because you're worth it !

# If a (sane) guy really likes you, there ain't nothing that's going to get in his way. And if he's not sane, why would you want him ?

#We're taught in life, we should try to look on the bright side, to be optimistic. Not in this case. In this case, look on the dark side. Assume rejection first. Assume you're the rule, not the exception. It's intoxicatingly liberating.

# If a dude isn't calling you when he says he will, or making sure you know that he's dating you, then you already have your answer. Stop making excuses for him; his actions are screaming the truth: He's just not that into you.

# One hundred percent of men polled said they've never been too busy to call a woman they were really into. As one fine man said, "A man has got to have his priorities."

# It doesn't count unless he says it when he's sober. An "I Love You" (or any semblance thereof) while under the influence of anything stronger than grape juice won't hold up in court or in life.

# "Doesn't want to get married" and "Doesn't want to get married to me" are very different things. Be sure about which category he falls under.
