Daily Snippets: He's just not that into you

I just happily clicked on an interesting article written by match.com on 5 reasons why the men don't call you back and I started wondering how many single ladies are still reading my blog, helloooo are you still out there? I'm sharing my dating secrets and you don't want to miss this.

I came up with my own 5 theories of why the men don't call you back. Now mind you i've no diploma in dating but i do speak from personal rejection experiences and have friends who wondered why the men stopped calling.

Sometimes i talk to Mountain Man and ask him why men are such jerks and he'll tell me that men often suffer in silence and take the blame when actually it's the girl who was responsible. Can't expect a man to continue dating a girl he finds out he doesn't like right? How else to let her down gently except to just, stop calling. Of course i told him that an expensive offering such as a handbag or shoes would be effective in taming an angry rejected girl.

Anyway, here's the 5 in order of equal importance.

Reason 1
You have BO or your breath stinks. Sometimes it's simple as that...

Reason 2
You are desperate. Sadly, men like to pursue, not be pursued. And by desperate, i don't mean holding a bowl under your chin to catch your drool. Don't try so hard to impress him because chances are he is already impressed with you tht's why he asked you out. If you asked him out, good for you cos if he agreed to go out with you and in that way he is also impressed.

Reason 3
You are not interested in him. Pay genuine interest in his life- army stories, taekwando championships, xbox games. It's OK if you are not interested in these topics, but be a good listener. Say how you're not into xbox, it is OK to disagree. But don't write off his interests...

Reason 4
You know everything and is right about everything. I think men prefer boring women (who looks pretty) to women who has an opinion about absolutely everything (and looks pretty). If you know everything how can the men add value?

Play the game of the modern damsel in distress so the men get to be the knight in shining armor.

Reason 5
You have no self-awareness. There's a fine line between confidence and arrogance, knowledgable and "talk too much too loud". Know your flaws and try to hide them till date 15.

Good ways of leaving opportunities for future dates is to make them during the date. Like "Hey so you like the chicken wings at East Coast right? Let's go next week!". And if agrees but then he still doesn't call maybe he's just not that into you.

Well good luck single ladies...

Thanks Aunt Heather for wishing us both. I know there's a lot going on and as you said, it doesn't define our friendship. But for the record, We're EVEN! haha
