He's just not that into you.

The first time I read this book (He's Just Not That Into You), I read it with the notion that I knew everything Greg was saying and that I didn’t need to really pay attention. But now with the preparation for watching the He’s Just Not Into You movie, I’ve been reading the book again.

After a week and a half of not hearing from the guy I’m sort of dating, I’ve decided that I’m not going to be the one keep emailing or calling him. Is he into me? I’m thinking not. Am I concerned? Yes, I really fell for this guy and feel we have a lot in common. However, as noted, I’ve been through too much in the past few months to deal with more of these crazy “but I like him so much” emotions. If you’re into me sunshine let me know.

But I’m also wondering how us, as women, we can be so thick that we need a book to tell us what we already know on some level. I guess sometimes we just need someone else to confirm our thoughts and if your friends are too thick to have opinions on guys and feel you should stick with a relationship because it’s better then being alone, then read the damn book! Don’t stick it out and compromise happiness for companionship. It’s 2009, we can have kids without them, drive without them, climb up the corporate ladder without them and we can pay our own bills without them.

I’m sorry, I’m sounding like Greg.

I once, in probably a very bitter stage, told a friend that she was afraid to be single. I don’t remember saying it, but know it’s something I’ve most likely thought. And though it was probably hard to hear, she has since dumped his ass and loves being single.

Loves it ladies, and you will to. I do admit that I have times of being lonely, and feel the need for affection and physical attention, but I’d rather save it for someone who’s not dicking around with my heart strings.

Read it, and don’t be afraid to be a Greg, your friends need it!

life or something like it...

I wish i could say that I've accomplished a lot in the past two years that i've been away from the blog. But unfortunately, I haven't. I'm back to being broke, back to the world of trying to figure out boys and I'm back on my own two feet, blogging, hoping for any answers to life you feel like dishing out.

Like any new grad, I've spend the past four and a half years trying hard to save up money and get my foot in a door in order to establish some sort of career. After being awarded a contract job in October of 2006, I moved in with my parents, and the blogging decreased. In February of 2008 I was handed a full time job at a different office and though i often thought of blogging, i didn't want the record of the blog address on either computer I was using.

Life happened and as much as I refused to life it, it didn't give me any other choice. I'm sure in future blogs I will post the struggles I've dealt with and where the outcomes have brought me. In the meantime, I'm excited to be back and blogging and i look forward to the following communications.

night.
