As I await for Lunch hour to began, I began reading this book called He's Just that Not into You by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo . It depicts guys as being absolutely indirect in matters of relationship and committment issues. Trust me, guys can be very straighforward and direct when necessary. I know this because I happen to be one. A good one at that. I know what it's like.
I will present what chapter title says, which speaks for itself without the details, and I will post my opposing argument.
Here's are excerpts or rather the chapter titles from the book:
Chatper 1: "He's just not that into you if he's not Asking out"
My Argument: Just because he doesn't ask you out doesn't mean he doesn't like you. It could be that he's shy or intidimated by your presense. Or Maybe he's married or in a relationship. Or Maybe he has a terminal disease that makes getting into relationships virtually impossible.
Chapter 2: "He's just not that into you if he's not calling you"
My Argument: Again, he might be experiencing some phobia about calling you. He might think that you are not interested in him.
Chapter 3: "He's Just not that into you if he's not dating you"
My Argument: He maybe in a difficult emotion time in his life. A relationship could make his already problematic life even more complicated. Besides, friendship should exist before any talk of dating or a relationship
Chapter 4: "He's Just not that into you if he's not Having Sex"
My Argument: The guy has morals. He doesn't want/have to commit a sin(fornication) just to prove that he likes you.
Chapter 10: "He's Just not into you if he's married"
My Argument: Doh! Why breakup a happy marriage for something adulterous and forbidden. This chapter is probably the most sensible and reasonable of them all
I think this book is heavily biased and discriminating of the male species. Male Reader beware!

That is biased,but you have to remember the book was written by worldies, who consider having sex as a must if you're "involved" with someone romantically, married or no.
You,Kevis, are one of the very few guys I've met that are direct with everything.
I mean, Jeremy(for example) is direct but he drops a lot of sutble hints before he actually says what he wants.
I know that's frustrating for a lot of other women, but I can read his mind, so all he really needs to do is drop a hint and I can very easily pick up on it.
But it's not like that with most relationships. I know that for a fact.
Good entry.
Always Yours,
Diane
