Literal Trinket #8

Tonight, just what I needed happened. The movie He's Just Not That Into You was on TV. I think every single girl should watch it once a month-just as a reminder.We all know deep down whether someone is really into us or not, the rest of what we do is false hoping. So if we could just stop ourselves right there-at that false hoping thought stream-we wouldn't get so wrapped up in what we think is such a mystery. These rules provided by the book and movie are all very realistic guidelines, but what really needs to happen is for us to just listen to the voice in the very back of our head. I mean we can't know exactly what the other person is thinking, but we have a gut feeling that comes up after the date. We feel restless about it- he hasn't called but the date wasn't bad. Well, it was probably just ok for him too and he has moved on. Otherwise he would have given you a little text because you were on his mind. If you already left his mind, he's not going to reach out.

 It isn't wrong or right. Guys are just more practical. Most girls are either a straight yes or no to them post date 1 or 2. There's no "iffy" prospects left like with us girls. And that's why we need to do the same. Don't date someone that you think would make good company for a while just because you're lonely. If you didn't feel something in your gut that says, "I can't let this one go. There's something about him." Don't reach out again just because you're bored. Yes, you will still be bored, but take that time to invest in yourself. When you least expect it, the right guy, the right situation, the right timing will come into your life so fast you won't even have time to worry or feel restless at all. You'll just be, and it will be wonderful.

And oh, that scene with Scarlet Johansson and Bradley Cooper, where they discuss the possibility of being friends. I think it gave me my answer regarding B O'B. as discussed in Literal Trinket #6.
