Serendipity

The laws of chance, strange as it seems,
Take us exactly where we most likely need to be

He’s just not that into you: o livro

He's Just Not That Into You — based on a popular episode of Sex and the City — educates otherwise smart women on how to tell when a guy just doesn't like them enough, so they can stop wasting time making excuses for a dead-end relationship.

Oh sure, they say they're busy. They say that they didn't have even a moment in their insanely busy day to pick up the phone. It was just that crazy. All lies. With the advent of cell phones and speed dialing, it is almost impossible not to call you. Sometimes I call people from my pants pocket when I don't even mean to. If I were into you, you would be the bright spot in my horribly busy day. Which would be a day that I would never be too busy to call you.

For ages, women have come together over coffee, cocktails or late-night phone chats to analyze the puzzling behavior of men.

He's afraid to get hurt again.
Maybe he doesn't want to ruin the friendship.
Maybe he's intimidated by me.
He just got out of a relationship.

He's Just Not That Into You is provocative, hilarious and, above all, intoxicatingly liberating. It deserves a place on every woman's night table. It knows you're a beautiful, smart, funny woman who deserves better. The next time you feel the need to start "figuring him out," consider the glorious thought that maybe he's just not that into you. And then set yourself loose to go find the one who is.

Se tivesse lido este livro aos quinze anos...o que não se tinha poupado em energia...
Mas, como disse a avó numa inspirada observação a que não prestámos a devida atenção: será que havia outros, diferentes?
Lembro-me, pelo menos, de três!
O problema é que "I was just not that into them"! O livro e o Autor, que foi entrevistado pela Oprah, não ajudam a resolver os desencontros no tempo e no espaço que temos na vida. Até pode ser irritantemente simplista. Mas não há dúvida que se imaginarmos as complexas e pouco compensadoras histórias que alimentam, por vezes, as nossas fantasias, contadas pelo vizinho do lado tudo se resume a essa frase.
O tema não tem fim...

Boa Páscoa para todas as meninas do Serendipity!
