The other day I watched the movie "He's Just Not That Into You." Being a huge "Sex and the City" fan, I knew the premise but whenever I saw the author Greg Behrendt in interviews about his book, I always thought he was just some metrosexual that was being way too harsh on women, and that feeling doubled after I glanced at his very straightforward book.
After brushing it off for a while, I finally took the easy road and watched the movie - and wow, he is right. That movie is great, and I can think of tons on girls, and guys for that matter, that really need to watch it.
One point it makes is "If he's not calling you," he's just not that into you. Come on face it, the movie is right, if a guy or girl really wants to see you, date you or call you, they will!
See what the movie explains that it's all about the fact that we're the rule, not the exception. The rule is that if he's not calling for a second date, it's probably because, you guessed it, he's just not that into you. Sure, he could have gotten hit by a bus or his grandma could have kicked the bucket, and he really is into you, but either he's dead or so overcome with grief that he can't call you, but that's the exception, meaning that never happens!
I wish people could just be honest and straightforward because dating does not need to be so complicated. If you like someone, tell them; if it's not working out, tell them. If you never want to get married or start liking someone else, just tell them. Yes, it can be hard, but grow up. If you're old enough to be in a relationship, you need to be mature to enough to tell your partner how it is.
Another thing I loved about the movie is that it's not directed to only women. There's a chapter called "If she's not sleeping with you," I like this one because it deals with a challenge that guys often deal with - teases. By this, I mean girls that know you like them and keep you around because they like the attention of knowing that someone wants to be with them. So they might talk to you on the phone, date you, even kiss you, but that's all. When it comes to sleeping with you, they might say something like "I'm not ready," and don't get me wrong, if a girl says that you need to respect it, but it could also mean, "I'm just not that into you." Thinking, sure I'll let you take me out and tell me that I'm pretty, but I'm saving that for someone who I really like. Get it?
All in all, the movie had some great points for both sexes. Whether you're married, dating or single, I recommend checking it out, because you might learn that you've been a little delusional about your relationships.
