This movie is the truth. Every woman should go out and see it. Basically it's about how women make excuses to themselves about why he didn't call, why he didn't kiss you at the end of the date, why he didn't do x,y, or z, when the reality is that he's really not interested aka "he's just not that into you." I know I've rationalized a man's behavior (more than once or twice). But you know what? No more. It will save me a lot of time and heartache if I admit the truth early on. Yes it will hurt but it will hurt more when I get wrapped all up in the relationship. I do believe that there may be some instances where there may be larger issues at play, but I know that I'm going to pay closer attention to what he does (instead of says) and the progress of the relationship. No more pulling the wool over my eyes here! I'm sure I'll stumble and try to rationalize the b.s. but I'm going to remind myself that he's really JUST NOT THAT INTO ME. *steps of soapbox*
Yep, so true. I haven't seen the movie yet but there came a point in my life where I made this same realization. We always want to "understand" men but the irony is that they are brutally simple: they act on whatever they are feeling so if you're not getting attention from them, it means they aren't feeling anything special for you. End of story. May you stay free of pain from this point on, hautecocoa!
