Maybe He's Just Not THAT Into You

And so what? You deserve more than a boy too immature to tell you how he truly feels.

You know exactly what I'm talking about: the cute guy in your history lecture or maybe the smooth talker you met at an off-campus party. You've barely talked to him but you've already got a crush. Sometimes you're not sure why because he doesn't even give you the time of day. A snapchat here. A quick hello there. And those annoying 3 am "are you up?" text messages.

News flash: he's just not that into you, and if he is than boy does he need to change his tactics. We've all been there, girls and guys alike, and it sucks. Not just because your feelings aren't being reciprocated, but he also doesn't have the guts to let you off the hook. And if he does let you off the hook it's by not replying to your messages and maybe even going as far as to ignore you in public. The moral of this tragic tale is that some people are too immature and can't do the respectful thing of telling you the truth. I don't know if it's because of this new "ghosting" fad or that dating in college just isn't how it use to be, but can we all agree that it needs to change.

I think the worst part of it all is that we blame ourselves. We think we're not good enough, or we've said something wrong. Some of us even go as far to try to change ourselves, which is completely ridiculous considering he wouldn't notice us if we smacked him in the face. So don't go shopping for a new outfit because you think he might like it; don't jump at the chance to hang out with him after he's ignored you all week. Instead, as hard as it may be, begin the journey of moving on and remind yourself that you deserve better.

I've seen what this kind of behavior has done to people and I know what it's done to me. There's that famous line from Perks of Being a Wallflower, "We accept the love we think we deserve", so start by thinking you deserve more. You shouldn't have to pry a response out of him or put in all the effort to hang out - he should want to. And if he doesn't then it's his loss. I know what you're probably thinking right about now. Yeah sure that's great and all but it's a lot harder than you think to just start demanding more for yourself. And you're absolutely right, but you've got to start sometime. You may have clicked on this article because you wanted to figure out whether he's into you or maybe you came to the realization that he's not. Well, I'm here to tell you that it doesn't matter. If he hasn't revealed his true intentions after all your efforts to figure it out, he needs to go and that time is now.

So confront him, delete his number, and move on. It's time to take the power back into your own hands. Yeah, he may not be that into you but honestly who cares because in the long run, you're going to hopefully look back and realize you weren't all that into him.

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.
