Ding dong, the bells are gonna chime

Let's run through a hypothetical. Jill is out one day doing whatever it is she may be doing and quite unexpectedly runs into an attractive stranger named Jack. Jack is great. He's cute, he's fun, and he's got loads of personality. Jack is an all around good guy. Not only that, but Jack is very attentive. He flirts with Jill, makes her feel cute, and gives her the time of freaking day. So, what does Jill think? He likes me! And why shouldn't she feel like that? Jack is sending all the right signals. He's saying things only interested guys say, doing things only interested guys do, he's acting interested. He calls her things like 'babe' and 'cutie', and to Jill (and every other girl on the planet) he seems like he likes Jill. So Jill, being a typical girl puts herself in a certain mindset. The mindset of the pursued. Jill tries out Jack's last name with hers. She waits longingly for phone calls and/or texts from Jack. She talks excitedly to her girlfriends about Jack. Sound familiar? Well Jill, STOP! Jack means nothing by any of this. Jack is a guy. They send these signals out without realizing that we girls will pick up on them. And then once we read these signals the way they, technically, should be read, and begin to act on them, they run away wondering, why do girls always take everything we do and turn it into some 'clue' that we like them? Well, I'll tell you Jack! Because that's how you put it out there. If you didn't act like you're interested in Jill, Jill won't think you're interested. It's not Jill, Jack. It's you...

  1. THIS IS SO TRUE!!! I love you Gaby, and I love how you put it so plain. But honestly, this has happened to me a total of 3 times this semester, including once today, when a guy talks to you, hugs you, smiles at you when your apart, and then... NOTHING! Boys are so dumb, and I love how you have a whole blog dedicated to that!!
