Nuggets of truth

I know I haven't posted for a while, but I just haven't been feeling all that inspired recently. But now I have a new topic. For Christmas, my mom got me a calendar: 365 days of "He's Just Not That Into You." Have you heard of the book? (My brother suggested we write a book called "She Ain't That Into Your Sorry Self Either. Get Over It. And Go Play Video Games.")

Anyway, I thought I'd share a few nuggets of truth that I found. Here's what I found for the month of January:

Grab a pen and list five reasons why you think you have every right or good reason to call him. Wait an hour. Or at least ten minutes. Then ask yourself: Do I seem pathetic? Do I sound like someone who doesn't trust my own innate hotness? Yes, you do! Now put your dialing finger away, get out of the house, and go find some fun.

PS: You just did a workbook exercise about a guy who hasn't even extended to you the energy of a phone call. Why would you want to chase that down?

A man would rather be trampled by elephants that are on fire than tell you he's just not that into you.

Liz says:
We go out with someone, we get excited about them, and then they do something that mildly disappoints us. Then they keep doing a lot more things that disappoint us. Then we go into hyperexcuse mode for weeks or possibly months, because the last thing we want to think is that this great guy who we are so excited about is in the process of turning into a creep.

In a poll of twenty males, 100 percent of the guys said "fear of intimacy" has never stopped them from getting into a relationship. One guy even remarked, "Fear of intimacy is an urban myth." Another one said, "That's just what we say to girls when we're just not that into them."

Beware of the word "friend." It can often be used by men or the women who love them to excuse the most unfriendly behavior. Personally, when I'm picking friends, I like the ones who don't make me cry myself to sleep.

January 28/29
Don't put an absurdly high value on him. Think of the millions of other girls doing without him, yet able to bear it!

Okay, folks, I'd LOVE to read your comments on this post!! Let me have it!
