The Ugly Truth - He's just not that into you

It’s been a while since my words touched this territory. Forgive me if I fail to keep you updated with my interestingly boring life but I suddenly felt like a widow when Michael Jackson died. Yeah, it’s crazy. I can’t write anything but him. He seemed to be everywhere and I just can’t stop loving his songs. I wonder if Lisa and Debbie felt the same way. Something tells me he was just not that into them.

What would you do if you have found out that the guy you’re crazy in love with is not into you? Would you just move on and accept the ugly truth? Or stick with him until he’s finally into you?



Two weeks ago, I went out to see my collegiala friends. Yeah right! Now this is the female conyotic version of Ryan Agoncillo. As usual, we talked about the number of jobs we hated and we the number of boys we dated. Don’t ask for the figures for there’s no need for recount and we only ended up thinking why our civil status are all the same.

SINGLE


And it’s complicated.


Lately, I’m getting fed up of thinking of reasons why I haven’t found the mythical one. Am I just looking for someone (a problem) that I will regret wishing for in the end? Or am I so good enough to be asked out? It’s so Chucked-up. I’m beginning to let go and let God.



Oh praise the Lord, I saw someone. But hold your horses, I’m still not sure if he’s just bored of being single in Friendster but committed in real life or if he really likes me. This sounds so high school. Why do guys love mind games?


TIPS


Aside from the Time Traveler’s Wife, another movie to look forward to is The Ugly Truth. But before you watch this film, you might want to watch He’s Just Not That Into You first. Although Justin Long’s lecture on Dating 101 would make anyone fall asleep, his tips on how to get the right guy make sense. Here are quotes from the movie that will help all of us figure out whatever needs to be figured out:


"If you can find him, then he can find you. If he wants to find you, he will."


“What if you meet the love of your life? Are you suppose to let that pass you by?”


"Men don’t forget how much they like you. So put down the phone."


“How stupid is that a girl has to wait for a guy’s call anyway, right?”


“If a guy treats you like he doesn’t give a s--- it’s because he doesn’t give a s---.”


“We are all programmed to believe that if a guy acts like a total jerk that means he likes you.”


"An excuse is a polite rejection. Men are not afraid of “ruining the friendship.”


"You are good enough to be asked out."


"Just because you like to lead doesn’t mean he wants to dance. Some traditions are born of nature and last through time for a reason."

“- Maybe he lost my number or is out of town or got hit by a cab.

- Or maybe he is not interested in seeing you again?”

"Don’t get tricked into asking him out. If he likes you, he’ll do the asking."


For now, I would just let things stay normal. If he likes me, then he likes me. That’s his problem.

I wish that he does because it’s not easy to buy his glances if he’s not really into me.
