I Heart You...
For Valentine's Day, I was going to buy copies of He's Just Not That Into You for a few women I know (the ones who don't read my blog). In case you've been asleep or without a television since last September, it's the book that a couple of the writers from Sex and the City authored that's supposed to explain that you need to quit making excuses for Mr. Mixed Messages.
But instead of gifting the book, I've since decided that I'm just going to hit each one of them upside the head with it. The hardback version. Just once. Because (how many times do you have to hear it?) it's not that I don't want to hear you tell those sad stories over and over and it's not like I haven't been there myself a time or two but we both know you deserve so much better and HE'S JUST NOT THAT F*CKING INTO YOU.
Now go find someone who is, mm'kay?
You might think its funny but that book really changed my life around. If your want to be like Samantha and Carey and Charlotte and those other girls who have no relationships, they just spend all there time with each other, then just keep on hitting people with that book instead of reading it. And I'll just sit here with my happy relationship.ok?
ReplyDeleteWell, I still think that HJNTIY deserves to be called a "book." It's more like a pamphlet. But it definitely is kind of freeing in the sense that you don't have to spend a psychotically long number of hours analyzing what you did to drive him away or scare him off. The answer that he just wasn't that into you allows you to just say, "Hmph!" and brush him off your sleeve like the ass biting piece of s*** he is.
ReplyDeleteOh, don't get me wrong - I think it's a great book and has done some very good things. I just believe there are women out there who will never get it. Those are the ones that make me want to hit them with a book. Any book, doesn't have to be that one. It could be the Bible, or Men are From Mars, or Dr Phil Speaks...
