Ok, maybe not the best idea for the first post. I'm sure not everyone wants to read about how I'm 32, still single and yes, I've been the stupid girl before that thinks, that maybe, just maybe after a week goes by and a guy still doesn't call...there's still hope. He's busy, he's lost my number, he's shy and is building up the courage. UGH!! Really?? Did I really think that AND admit that I really thought that!! Pitiful.
So, the movie was cute. I normally LOVE movies and books that jump around and have two or three stories going on at the same time, especially when the characters all tie together in some fashion, but I stayed confused for a good portion of the movie because I kept trying to think of how it was following to the book. Seriously, I hadn't read the book in like three years so I gave up, went to scene selections, started over with a clear mind. Much better!! This movie is perfect for guys and girls, everybody can relate to at least one of the characters in the movie. I truly thought it would be a "self-help" movie, like the book, but it wasn't. It was creatively done for the enjoyment of a movie but yet clearly a message for the "sit by the phone, check your service on your cell every five seconds, don't go out because you might miss a call" girl that is waiting to hear back from her future husband. Not to mention there were so many great actors in the movie, Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Anniston, Ben Affleck and Kevin Connolly, just to name a few.
I was talking to a girl today who stated she hated the book because it made her feel stupid. Of course it made you feel stupid....stupid, it's supposed to make you feel this way, so you can stop acting like the guy who didn't call you and doesn't want to call you is "the one" who is missing out on the perfect opportunity of a lifetime. Bottom line and the basis of the movie and the book, if he wants to go out with you....he'll call you. If he doesn't call you...forgetaboutit!!! If he wants to be with you, he'll fight for you and make it happen. If this doesn't happen....keep on fishin. It's not a game people (guys listen up) I learned this a long time ago. There is this unspoken rule, you have to wait a day or two, because you don't want to seem too eager...freakin call.....people like it. We want to know you are eager to call us. But on the other side of the spectrum, a girl that calls too much and throws herself at a guy is a psycho and a guy that does the same thing is weak. There shouldn't be games, maybe in middle school the game was fun, but now...yeah...not so much. If you like someone and you like them enough that you WANT to call them and learn more about them.....you won...game over. Who knows...again...32....single!!!

Love Heather Kimberling
I read that book RIGHT WHEN I MET MY HUSBAND. And, actually, Brian totally rejected me at first. I just let it go, didn't argue. He still wanted to be friends, so we went to Keeneland a couple of days later. I even pointed out a couple of girls who seemed like his "type" while we were there.
By the end of the night, we were a couple. Eight months later we got married.
NOBODY should chase a guy. Ever. Backing off totally works.
Thanks Janie, I agree with you 100%. You and Brian are perfect together!! I would rather be single forever then chase a guy who didn't even know I existed....that's why I stalk guys I think are cute!! KIDDING!!!
dang, it took us many years to learn this great life lesson (*ahem* we chased, we worried when he would call--if he would call, the epitome of the crazy/psycho girl). well, maybe i did all of the above a little bit more than you did, but it feels good to have strength in numbers. Lesson learned.
