She's Just Not That Into You

I was talking to one of my good guy friends today and realized that men are utterly clueless when it comes to women. Obviously this is a well known fact, but I think their ignorance goes deeper than what I had originally imagined. Below I have compiled a list, with the help of a few of my girlfriends, to aid men when they are trying to date. The most important thing to remember, guys, is that women won’t actually SAY what they want to, they will try to signal you to their true feelings by a series of actions. Also, keep in mind that you are not deserving of all women, no matter how great you think you are. Some women aren’t just playing hard to get, they ARE.

SIGNS SHE DOESN’T CONSIDER IT A DATE:

-She looks pissed when you try to pay for her

-Her arms are crossed throughout the entire movie

-She doesn’t talk to you much during the movie (not even during previews)

-She talks about herself throughout dinner and doesn’t ask about you

-She keeps looking at her watch

-She says she is inviting friends to come with

-She wears a tshirt and jeans when she normally dresses up

-She leaps out of your car as soon as you pull up by her apartment


THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:

-Just because a girl snuggles with you doesn’t mean she’s into you

-Sometimes girls will kiss you goodbye just so you’ll leave

-If you have been friends with a girl for awhile, and she asks if you are still dating someone, this DOES NOT MEAN SHE HAS FEELINGS FOR YOU. Sometimes girls are just your friends, and that is it. Making conversation about significant others is something friends do, it is a common practice. Get over yourself and realize she is just trying to be friendly. If she wanted to come on to you, she would.

-If she cancels plans, she doesn’t want to date you

-If she kisses you when she is drunk, it doesn’t count as a kiss. Refer to this quote from the movie Death at a Funeral:
Justin: You can't fight what we had together. Martha: Justin, it was one night. It was a massive mistake. I was drunk out of my mind. You could have been a donkey!

-If she always tells you about plans she has later in the evening, she doesn’t want to date you

-If you tell her to pick a restaurant and she picks one that is geared towards children, she doesn’t want to date you

-If she talks more about her cat and tv shows than her actual interests, she doesn’t want to date you

-If she never calls you except to cancel or see what your status is on plans that you made, she doesn’t want to date you

-If she hasn’t added you on Facebook and you know she has an account, she doesn’t have a thing for you

-If she flat out ignores every compliment like you didn’t say it, she doesn’t want to date you

-If you are hanging out with her and some of your guy friends, and she starts flirting with them, she is looking for a way out

-If she mentions her ex in passing conversation, she is not ready to date you

-If she avoids your phone calls/texts/emails/instant messages/Facebook messages she doesn’t want to date you

-If you write on her Facebook wall and she deletes it, she doesn’t want to date you

-If she refers to you as her “friend” to everyone she introduces you to, she doesn’t want to date you

-If you work with her and you aren’t having sex in the broom closet, she doesn’t want to date you

-If you are the one that asks her to spend time with you, and never the other way around, she doesn’t want to date you


Perhaps these clues can help the clueless among you to take a hint, and quit going after girls that have no intention at all of dating you. These should also help you recognize the ones that might be interested.
