They’re just not that into you…
Not a great photo, but us enjoying ourselves
I always felt a little sorry for Ron Livingston as Jack Berger telling Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) during an episode of Sex and the City that the man she was waiting for a call from just wasn’t that into her.
As someone who’s been married nearly 10 years (crikey) it seems like a blatantly obvious thing for someone to say, but Miranda’s character hadn’t figured that out yet. Which got me thinking: when do you figure this one out?
I was largely single for a good 10 years before I met my husband and there were many relationships where there were quandaries about should I move to be with them or stay rather than move away, live with them, get more serious, is this worth the effort. My partner was in similar situations, but he was the one it wasn’t a question. The mechanics became the interesting part and things just happen.
Some friends seem to be having issues with their relationships and I always think, does it have to be difficult? If it is, are they the right person? But then, is it just luck that I’ve ended up with the right person for me (80% of the time 😉 ).
Which is weird, right?
