“Girls
are taught a lot of stuff growing up. If a guy punches you, he likes you. 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 that 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.”
- He's just not that into you
