he's just not that into you

After Oprah's show, 'He's JUst NOt That INto You,' which I missed, sadly and now the book of the same name, we got into a huge discussion at culture club last night about whether our bloke(s) were actually into us at all.

WE forgot half the criteria though.

Please help me out here. What are they exactly?
1)He doesn't phone you a loy. Or call your back.
2)He always has time. He'd move mountains to see you if he wanted to.
3)He lets you walk through a door first.

Right, now what are the rest? Apparently a woman in Oprah's audience raised their hands and asked whether he guy was into her or not.
"I haven't heard from in in eight months, but I'm just not sure."
I'm not going to be thick about this, I need non-obvious signs here.

We also discussed, in sordid detail:
- how we are actually independent fun-loving women that don't need men at all. But we all have boyfriends. So this makes no sense.
- How Louise subliminally wants Rafe.
- How Rafe very non-subliminally wants Louise.
- Paris Hilton's huge feet. (Size 11 to be precise)
- What it would be like to grow up in South Carolina in the 60s
- The goth party on FRiday
- How guys get more jealous than girls
- Then it was all a blur

Thanks Janie.
That's the thing-you're so right. Women make excuses for men's assholic behaviour, and I say enough already! I hope your daughter manages to find someone nice.
I also have big feet, it's a pain to get my size a lot.

Big feet are evil- mine are 10 U.S. size. All the shoes look soooo cute in the little sizes, and either they don't have them larger, or they just don't look right. Grrr.

so...is he into you?

Still trying to work out the rest of the criteria Ho. I guess he is...but you never know :)

I haven't seen the show, but the book is my bible. Basically if the guy doesn't fall at your feet and go to the ends of the earth to date you, he ain't worth it!

which may explain why I'm always bloody single ;)

Nice one Zuzula. I have GOT to get my hands on this book.
Picky is where its at, and guys should be falling at our feet I say.
At least when you find someone he's worth it and you're not just dating around for the sake of it.

it is good - but very idealistic, especially given the state of most of the men that I meet!

But one point they make is that if you start a relationship being disappointed with the guy then you're never really going to make a go of it. And if you do the chasing you'll always have it in the back of your mind that if you hadn't done all the hard work, he wouldn't be there!
