    Quote from He's just not that into you! (And vice versa, I suppose)

    I had this guy leave me a voicemail at work, so I called him at home, and then he emailed me to my BlackBerry, and so I texted to his cell, and now you just have to go around checking all these different portals just to get rejected by seven different technologies. 
    It's exhausting.
     
    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 may dissect each little thing and put myself out there so much but at least that means that I still care. Oh! You've think you won because women are expendable to you. You may not get hurt or make an ass of yourself that way but you don't fall in love that way either. You have not won. You're alone. I may do a lot of stupid shit but I'm still a lot closer to love than you are.
     
    Anyway, all my friends used to tell me about how things might work out with these dipsticks because they knew someone, who knew someone, who dated a dipstick just like mine. That girl ended up getting married and living happily ever after. That the exception and we're not the exception we're the rule.
    We have to stop listening to these stories because the rule is most guys who cheat on you up front don't really care about you very much.
     
    So trust me when I say if a guy is treating you like he doesn't give a shit, he genuinely doesn't give a shit. No exceptions.
     
      每天,当我又忍不住困惑和纠结时,当种种糟糕的记忆再次侵扰时,我总是提醒自己不要忘记“洒脱”,即使做不到也要"fake it till make it".幸好这个世界上困扰的人不止我,幸好总有高明的文字工作者对生活时不时进行一针见血的总结。现实总是很残酷,不是人人都能顺利坠入爱河,功德圆满。看电影时,某些情节和对话会让我感慨万千,可是回头想想,并不是只有男人们会act like an asshole,问题的关键不在性别,不在于火星和金星的思维方式 -- just not that into。
      如果忘了这一点,就时常上来看看上面那些台词吧。
