P/S : This post created by watching the movie " He's Just Not Into You". Well I already watched that movie longgg longggg time ago but suddenly feeling the urge to write about the movie. And I copy some (banyak sebenarnya) of the scripts in the movie. Here and there. So, yeah..
A girl will never forget the first boy she likes.
Even if things don't quite work out.
But, we're all encouraged, no, programmed.. to believe that if a guy acts like a total jerk..
That means he likes you.
Woman... *sigh
Tellin ya the truth. Thats how woman works.
Even if the guy acts like a total jerk, totally ignore her the whole time, give as many sign he can to tell the girl that he doesn't like her,
Some girl (well I guess many many of us) tends to pretend the hint bring another sign.
Just because we. woman. like them.
* double sigh~
Then we will covered up the truth by saying,
" Ouh, maybe he's too busy with his work. Or maybe with his family. "
" He's not asking you out because he's intimidated by your professional success. "
" I'm sure he just forgot your number.. Or... was eaten by lion? "
Denying all the hints sure is easy.
Why do we say this stuff to each other?
Is it possible that it's because we're too scared..
and it's too hard to say the one obvious truth that's staring everyone in the face?
HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU
But woman, please don't be toooooooo desperate. Your times will come. Eventually.
Everyone got their own timeline.
.... if he's not calling you
You might think you reserve the right to call him at 15-minute intervals until he picks up.
But if he looks down and sees your numbers, he's gonna think you're some kind of psycho or something.
well, I dont do that. But maybe.. (just maybe!) I'm some kind of psycho too when I searched about that person background through his faceboook, twitter, instagram and etc.
But hey, it's a MUST. Dont you think?
You know someone through socmed, a total stranger. And you give him your telegram ID to get know each other. Dont you think you deserve the right to do some digging? HAHA.
Afterall, I'm being honest when I told him what I found out.
Personal things? Yeah yeah I kno. *sigh
But, thats it. Tu je la aku cari pon. Nak tengok dia betul betul wujud ke idok.
From a guy view,
" If he's not calling you. He's never gonna call you."
" It's just how we do it. "
" If a guy doesn't call you, he doesn't wanna call you."
Really.
Always.
Titik. Noktah.
" If a guy is treating you like he doesn't give a shit.. He genuinely doesn't give a shit. "
No exception.
" ... if he's not marrying you. "
or maybe he said he's not ready yet or worse, he doesn't even want to talk about it even though you guys already being together for about 5 years and more,
runnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn girl! YOU. BETTER. RUN!
" If a guy want to see you. Believe me, he will see you. "
If a guy wants to date you, believe me, he will make it happen. He will ask you out.
Sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending, we don't learn how to read signs.
How to tell ones who want us from the ones who don't.
The ones who will stay from the ones who will leave.
And maybe this happy ending doesn't include a wonderful guy.
Maybe it's you..
On your own..
Picking up the pieces and starting over.
Freeing yourself up for something better in the future.
Maybe the happy ending is just,
Moving on.
and maybe the happy ending is this,
Knowing that through all the unreturned phone calls and broken hearts
through all the blunders and misread signals
through all of the pain and embarassment
you never, ever gave up hope.
So, just know when to stop. STOP hurting yourself by ignoring all the signals. STOP being in delusional. STOP if the guy being a jerk to you all the times. STOP when you think it is okay to ignore your own feeling if that's make him feels better.
You are a wonderful person. Just because you are getting old (me!), doesn't mean you really need to endure all the hurt and pain to accept someone just because everyone already met their soulmates.
Your times will come.
:)
