Sure, none of us women want to hear the words "He's just not that into you", but sometimes we just have to face the facts. I, myself, confess right now that i've had to realize that the man I was trying to have something with recently was "Just NOT that into me". First I want to start off saying "DONT WASTE THE PRETTY". This quote from the book "He's just not that into you" has really made me see the light. I believe it was a Monday night that my best friend Megan and I stumbled upon the book in Barnes and Noble. I just flipped open to a page only to discover the quote "DONT WASTE THE PRETTY". Stop and think about this for a minute. Are you wasting all that pretty on some loser that wont give you the time of day? Because I was! And yes ladies it is possible to waste the pretty. Sure most everyone enjoys a nice chase but when does the chase become too much? I considered sharing this blog because I decided I was not wasting the pretty anymore. And guess what girls? YOU DESERVE A PHONE CALL!! Yes, I said it and so did the book, and you do deserve a man that takes the time to call you no matter how "Busy" he is. I made the excuse for months saying "Yall he is just soooo busy he dont have time to call".. HAHAHAHA is all I have to say to myself on that one. It got to a point where I would call this man several times a day just to have him ignore my call and I could hear his voice on the voicemail. WHAT WAS I THINKING? He would go days without calling and then say "ITS NOT HOLLY'S WORLD, IM BUSY WORKING"!! What a butt hole.. and I have not called someone a butt hole since 1st grade, but this guy was the biggest one ever! Another point that "He's just not that into you" made to me was .."HANGING OUT IS NOT DATING, IF HE'S NOT DATING YOU THEN HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU"!! Bingo!! Why didnt I wake up and smell the "he's just not that into me" pot of coffee he fixed for me. I have to admit I was very naive in this situation. He would give me a call around 1am to "HANG OUT". He wouldnt even be seen with me in public! I know your probably saying "What the crap are you thinking Holly"?..but I had it bad for this guy. I have never made so many excuses before in my life. I know some of you ladies are not going to admit that your in this situation and I'm NO Dr. Phil, I just want to share to all of you my story. How could I have been so blind you ask? Well it wasnt Love thats for sure. In the book it says.. "No matter how powerful and real your feelings may be for someone, if that person cannot fully and honestly return them and therfore actively love you back, these feelings mean nothing". WOW! Deep huh? But it's true. And sometimes you just have to understand that. So therefore, my situation was not love.. simply pure infatuation! I only mentioned a few things ive been through the past couple of months but believe me I could write my own book on my story. So all if you out there who take the time and read this, I really hope it helps you in whatever your situation might be. And go get the book yall. It's worth it.

"He's just not that into you".

Holly
