A few months ago, I bought a used book at a thrift store called, Hes Just Not That Into You. Although it is a book written by an author who has different standards of what defines an honorable man (to me), I cant tell you how many of those quotes come to mind when we are in a counseling room with a young woman. And the thing is, ALL the rules apply to ALL women at any age. Here are some: 1) Don’t spend your time on and give your heart to any guy who makes you wonder about anything related to his feelings for you. 2) A man who wants to make a relationship work will move mountains to keep the woman he loves. 3) When it comes to men, deal with them as they are, not how you’d like them to be. 4) Dont you want the guy wholl forget about all the other things in his life before he forgets about you? 5) The word “busy” is the relationship Weapon of Mass Destruction. It seems like a good excuse, but in fact, in every silo you uncover, all you’re going to find is a man who didn’t care enough to call. Remember: Men are never too busy to get what they want. 6) He doesnt need to be reminded youre great. 7) We’re taught that in life, we should try to look on the bright side, to be optimistic. Not in this case. In this case, look on the dark side. Assume rejection first. Assume you’re the rule, not the exception. 8) There will never be a good time, financially, to get married, unless youre Shaq or Ray Romano. But somehow people manage. If your man is using money as an excuse not to marry you, its your relationship thats insecure, not his bank account. 9) People are inspired to do remarkable things to find and be with the one they love. 10) If the guy you’re dating doesn’t seem to be completely into you, or you feel the need to start “figuring him out,” please consider the glorious thought that he might just not be that into you. And then free yourself to go find the one that is. 11) An excuse is a polite rejection. Men are not afraid of ruining the friendship. 12) Advice from the author: PLEASE let us do the pursuing. We love the chase and were good at it. When you come after us, we completely lose interest. And all respect. Were looking for the girl who keeps us guessing. I know all these statements seem hurtful (and there are hundreds of others), but they are ALL TRUE. I am constantly amazed at how todays girls/women settle for something less. I dont know if their mothers failed to tell them that chasing guys is a waste of time or what...But Im thinking that most of todays women would benefit enormously from reading Pride and Prejudice and learning the Im so worth pursuing game. Because the alternative is just heartbreaking to watch. And lets face it...no woman wants to appear pathetic and desperate. We are, after all, princesses underneath.
