He's Just Not That Into You

Seeing as most of the people I know who read this are probably female, I figured you would appreciate this topic.

The movie "He's Just Not That Into You" is the most sickingly (real word??)accurate movie ever. Just the opinions it poses are so true. If you haven't seen it these are some quotes from the movie.

Gigi (main character) "We are all programmed to believe that if a guy acts like a total jerk that means he likes you." - maybe a stretch but pretty much truth

Alex (main guy) "So trust me when I say if a guy is treating you like he doesn't give a sh-- he genuinely doesn't give a sh--. No exceptions." - EXACTLY, yet we think of every excuse we can to put our minds at ease.

"If you can find him, then he can find you. If he wants to find you, he will." - I love this because men know when they want you, and if they do, they will come after you, you shouldn't have to chase him.

Gigi: "Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up. If a guy punches you he likes you. Never try to trim your own bangs and someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending. Every movie we see, Every story we're told implores us to wait for it, the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule. But sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. How to tell from the ones who want us and the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave. And maybe a happy ending doesn't include a 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. Or maybe the happy ending is this, knowing after all the unreturned phone calls, broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment you never gave up hope."
- I love this last one, it's the ending montage of the movie and it makes me feel a lot better because I am such a sap, and hopeless, hopeless romantic, but it is so unrealistic, movies and tv shows make you feel like it's gonna be this beautiful moment or just sweep you off your feet experience, but the cynic I am will believe it when I see it.

I love this movie, because it helps me see how silly I am being when I overanalyze every little minute detail and twist things around to make them seem favorable, even if I am totally off. My roommate Heather also kind of talked some sense in to me and was pretty bluntly honest, which I appreciate, because I feel like a lot of times (just like in the movie) women tell their friends what they want to hear, and I have respect for the truth. It also makes me trust even more that because the Lord said he will be with me wherever I go and he has a plan for me, that I don't have to worry about every little detail, it is all in his hands, and one day I will be the exception, instead of the rule (movie reference again). I stress so much about every facet of life, and I feel here lately God has really been telling me to just let it go, to give it up to him and know that my life is all taken care of. Something I also struggle with is uncertainty, I am uncertain of the Lord's plan for my life and that makes me really anxious, I want to know now where I am going to be in 5 years, what is my life going to be like?

Anyway He's Just Not That Into You is a great movie ladies so watch for sure!!

I can't believe it is almost Halloween, and that there is legit like a month of the semester left.
