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

3 things to remember about boys

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
