Just not that into you

I got a call late yesterday afternoon from one of I went out with a few weeks ago. I was in the middle of doing something so I let the call go to voice mail. I checked it a bit later and got the message of "Hey, it's me. You know how to call me if you want to. I haven't heard from you for a while."

To clarify, this call was from the woman who when I asked for some time and space proceeded to call every ten minutes for two hours.

Needless to say, I'm not in any hurry to call back.

Which you think she'd get the message.

But she doesn't, hasn't or refuses to do so.

I was talking to a friend earlier today about this phenomenon. There was a book a few years ago called He's Just Not That Into You and was trying to help women realize that when a guy doesn't call, call back or make definite plans that should be a huge sign that maybe he's just not that interested. I think the same can be said for girls in relation to guys. If she isn't calling back or responding in a timely manner, it might be time to move on.

But then we see all these movies and tv shows were one party isn't into the other but that doesn't things. I'm thinking Niles and Daphne from Frasier here kind of thing. Niles suffers for years of loving Daphne from afar, only to end up with her at the end of the show. Nice fantasy but I am not sure that it translates well into the real world. Instead, we end up with potential stalking and being a doormat for the other person.

Or simply not getting the message that he or she isn't that into you.
