He's Just Not That Into You



Gigi:
 "Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up. If a guy punches you he likes you. Never try to trim your own bangs & someday you will meet a wonderful guy & 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 & the ones who will leave. & maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe... it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces & 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 & misread signals, through all the pain & embarrassment.... you never gave up hope."
