hes_just_not_that_into_you.jpg'He's just not that into you' that familiar Sex and the City phrase and now the title of an entire film.
I was reading a piece in Style magazine on the train back to London last weekend which centered largely around the topics said statement and film title bring up. I must admit I don't usually read the editorial, more glance over where I can buy what that week but I got stuck into this one when I read the first paragraph.

'This, I promise is exactly what he said to me "right, I m calling you tomorrow and you'd better have your phone with you. I absolutely adore you. I have to know when I m seeing you again'

Of course the man this quote came from never contacted the writer of the piece again. Surprise. Surprise. It grabbed me because I have had exactly the same thing happen as have the vast majority of my female friends.
After meeting you once or possibly twice the boy/man goes all goey at the knees and starts professing what is almost love it seems! These declarations come in many forms, examples below:
'I want you to book out next weekend so we can have more time together'
'I've never felt so comfortable with anyone before, we fit together so perfectly'
'I could fall in love with you so easily'
These are just gathered from a couple of friends experiences, there are many more.
I could go on.
If a girl said these sorts of things surely the guy would be running for the hills? So why then after going out on a limb after such a relatively short time do these boys say such things when their intention is to never see you again? Then of course we as the female population have to accept that he is simply 'just not that into you'.
One of my more straight talking friends asked a male perpetrator outright as to why he would say such things only to act the exact opposite. The reply being 'I'm just crap'. ok. Food for thought there I guess? Maybe rather than 'he's just not that into you' we should be saying to each 'maybe he is just a bit crap'. A later text message read 'I think we should leave this as I am useless and can't be relied on for anything'.

I would urge you girls to let me know your thoughts and experiences on this in your comments. I'm sure there are a few other similar stories out there.
