He's Just Not That Into You
So yes, this is the title of the 2009 classic movie, "He's Just Not That Into You," featuring the great talents of Jennifer Aniston, Bradley Cooper, and Scarlett Johansen (just to name a few).
However, I felt like it needed to be the title of this blog post because it's just so relevant to females today. We make many excuses for why he's not calling back or why he hasn't asked you out on the second date. I've heard them all, "he forgot your number," "he's afraid of commitment," or "he just got out of a serious relationship." The truth is, he's just not that into you. And I think we should be able to accept that and move on with our lives.
Seriously, a friend of mine was a wreck over a guy that she had seen for a few times before, but nothing serious. He never has really asked her on a date and so she spent most of her time waiting for her cell phone to buzz or spent hours making herself look good just in the mere chance that she might "run" into him. The sad thing is, she's not the only one. I've seen thousands of girls do this before and frankly they would have had a lot more fun if they had used that time to go out with friends on a Friday night, get drunk, and eat pizza.
This may not be everyone's ideal, but it's a hell of a lot better than getting drunk alone.
My problem is that I don't want just any regular guy. I always want the guy I can't get. Sort of like Scarlett Johansen with Bradley Cooper, I want that guy who is interested, but has something about him that makes him difficult to obtain. It's the chase that really gets me going. But this usually runs into multiple problems and never seems to work out the way I want it to. Then, when I finally get a good guy, I'm not happy with him and the endless cycle continues.
The worst part about it all is that now we have this dreaded thing that is the sole hinderance to any blossoming relationship. The internet. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, you name it. All of these social media platforms will kill anybodies hope that he will text or call you back because you just saw that he put on his story that he was going out to party without you or is checking his phone and just plain not texting you back. Plus, it's so hard to resist the temptation not to look at their profile and check out their most recent flings.
Sometimes I wish it was that easy to just say, "Hey, I like you so we shoudl date," but if dating was that easy, we wouldn't have any chick flicks made. And who the hell wants to live in a world without a good chick flick?
