I'm just not that into you

Have you read the book He's Just Not That Into You? Maybe you've seen the movie instead. Perhaps both. I have yet to see the movie, but I've read the book and unlike a lot of women out there most of what I read I had kind of already guessed at. Reading it all in print just reaffirmed what I already knew.

Men will go after what they want. If they really like you, they'll do whatever they have to do to get in touch. Its a big reason I rarely make first contact. In the past I made first contact quite often but when I discovered I was the only one reaching out I decided, why bother? The only time I ever heard from the guy was when I initiated conversation so I stopped completely.

It wasn't until I stopped initiating that he reached out. He didn't reach out to start a conversation however, oh no, he just wanted to say how sad he was that "I wasn't thinking of him anymore and saying hi". I told him it was a two-way street and if he liked me that much he could be bothered to say hey when he saw I was online or whenever. That ended that conversation oretty quickly.

Since then I've got no problem waiting for him to make first contact. I'm not going to lie and say there haven't been times when I've really wanted to say something, anything, but we both know it wouldn't do any good. So I've resisted.

I've resisted many times recently and still I didn't hear from you. Well, no I did earlier, and boy what a conversation that was. Its nice to know you care.* I've decided I'm done with you. I'm tired of wasting my time waiting around for some indication that you really like me. I don't even get the feeling you want to be good friends. No, definitely not even that. My friends don't ask how it went when I say I just had an MRI, they ask if everything is okay. Yeah, I'm definitely not that into you.
