It's Not You, And It's Not Him
theidleman

We all have had the day where we are walking to class and we are nervous about the upcoming tests.We close our lockers, look up, and it hits you.As you are looking up, the man of your dreams is looking right at you as he walks down the hall to the same classroom you two have shared since freshman year. You slowly catch your breath and slow your heart rate down as you look away.You never imagined when you would see someone who would make your heart race just by the look of him.

I, too, have been in the same situation.

There are many thoughts the cross your mind "Has he noticed me since freshman year? Does he think that I’m really pretty? Does he have a girlfriend? How do I try to get him to notice me without seeming too forward?"

I’m here to try and clear the air when it comes to the minds of men. All men are different, in fact some of them can’t really be classified as men when it comes to their goals and personality traits. I have three different reasons why a man could not be into you:

  • He is only looking at you because you happened to be in his line of sight.

It could be as simple as that.Men will sometimes only look up at women because they noticed something that is beside or behind you. Don’t take it to heart, as Chad Eastham says in his book, “the truth about dating” men are only able to talk or look at one thing at a time and all of their attention is focused on one item.If you are wanting to switch topics you have to be patient in order for them to switch “compartments” if you will in order to pay attention to you.

  • He only wants to hang out with you because he wants to just be your friend.

This can be heartbreaking if you think the world of him at first sight. Love at first sight can be misleading to some girls who think they can get any man they want. Don’t worry, there are plenty of other men in the world that would be worth your time, but don’t forget to take your time and enjoy your time hanging out with them without any limits or obligations.Try not to let your feelings get in the way when you’re simply getting to know them.Guys and girls are able to become best friends without the friendships being torn apart.I have three guys who I am best friends with and I have no worries with any of them.

  • He’s simply not ready for a relationship right now

Not every man that you come in contact with is emotionally, mentally or physically ready to have a relationship right now.No matter how insanely gorgeous he may be, or where he’s at in life, he may not want to add another commitment in his life at this point in time.Patience is a virtue.Keep in mind that you’re not the only girl that’s in his life.

I hope that these three ways help you better understand how to deal with men who are hard to understand.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
