My road to wisdom

I believe I have a pretty good sense of self worth and self esteem.  
I know there are "plenty of fish in the sea" and I have faith that someday my prince will come.  
 
I was not always this wise.  I have on more occasions than I would like to admit freaked out that HE didn't call. I called all my girl friends to cry to them over this injustice and ask them over and over again why??  Looking back I can also remember one particular drunken night I went a bit crazy and paged this guy I was really into repeatedly.  What it was the late 90's before cells phones. I left at least 5 long drunken messages declaring my love for him. I ended up leaving at least 5 messages, maybe even more, because his pager voicemail system kept cutting me off.  Why didnt my friend stop me???  About 10 years later I saw him at a Halloween party .......I wasn't sure he remembered or recognized me but, I avoided eye contact.  

It took many years but I finally grew wiser and learned that maybe he's just not that into me.  And that's ok.  I had made significant steps toward understanding this even before I read the book. 

But the book is fantastic.......way better than the movie.  I included the review from amazon.com for anyone that has never read the book.  I adds a lot of humor to the truth. 

He's Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys

For ages women have come together over coffee, cocktails, or late-night phone chats to analyze and obsess over the puzzling behavior of men. Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo are here to say that—despite good intentions—it’s an utter waste of time. Men are not complicated, although they’d like women to think they are. And there are no mixed messages. The truth may be: He’s just not that into you.
Straightforward and sensible, He’s Just Not That Into You educates otherwise smart women on how to tell when a guy just doesn’t like them enough, so they can stop wasting time making excuses for a dead-end relationship.
