It is the definition of sad. I’ve spent the evening knitting and watching Oprah.
The knitting was important though. I started to make my brother-in-law-to-be a hat for his birthday. Months ago. It is basically Christmas. So tonight I set myself the task of finishing it. And I did. So hot right now.
And Oprah was important too.
It was a ‘prime time special’ (and, I think, repeat) of the “he’s just not that into you” show. It’s bollocks, like the John Gray book. Mostly because it seems to confirm that it’s a man’s world. It seems that women are supposed to sit around and wait to be swept off their feet because that is what will happen if a man is into you. Anything less = he’s just not that into you.
But it is also infinitely more interesting than the John Gray book because it is about singles as opposed to couples and therefore much more relevant to my life.
a) if you have to analyse what his actions mean, then: he’s just not that into you.
b) text messages and phone calls about how great you are, but no action around this(ie no hooking in), then: he’s just not that into you. CG note!
c) if he has reasons to not spend time with you, eg work, then: he’s just not that into you
d) if he talks about not wanting to ruin your friendship, then he’s actually afraid of how he’s not attracted to you. Which, in short, means he’s just not that into you.
Anyway this may be the last of my self help book related blog entries. And to end it on a non-self help note, Classic Albums: Def Leppard’s hysteria is on tele. White leather never looked so good. And I want, and I need, and I love: ANIMAL.

Gonna have to disagree with you there, Jess. Granted, the book has a whole lotta weak points (see: the title for one) but really, if someone wants to make time (granted that they're not in their medical residency/rockstar/secret agent), they will. Simple as that. I guess I just figure why sit around waiting for something to happen when it's pretty clear that although you're expending energy, no matter what you seem to do, they don't do shit back & usually use some lame excuses as to what's really up when the truth is that they're prolly just sissies or leading you around so that they can get sex/date/motivation...whenever they want it. Been there too many times to ignore it.
