Since I spent all of last week writing about Sex and the Single Girl, I think I might as well confess that a couple of months ago I actually bought and read He's Just Not That Into You. It was insanely depressing and I didn't add it to the list of books I've read because it's not so much a book as a very long Cosmo article written with the aim of convincing you that no one you've ever dated as ever been into you. Or at least that's what I took away from it. Reading it did, however, inspire me to come up with some criteria of my own compiled from personal experience.
He's Just Not That Into You If . . .
He cancels a date because it's raining.
He misspells your name on your birthday card.
He sends you an email telling you he's way too busy to spend time with you, then goes on to say that he's been sleeping until noon every day and going to tons of awesome shows.
He shows up 30 minutes late for your first date without apologizing, then asks you to pay for everything because he lost his credit card.
He cuts you then steals your stash. (This last example might be from The Wire. It and the movie adaptation of HJNTIY were both set in Baltimore so I sometimes get them mixed-up.)
