lessons from sex & the city

i get sad when women keep trying really hard to catch someone's attention despite no signs of give from the other party. when they complain about what a jerk this guy has been recently, i want to say no, he's not being an asshole because he still hasn't asked you out on an actual date. like buerger from sex & the city, i want to say, "HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU!"

but it just makes me irritated if they use me as a negative comparison to bolster their own image. you can use whatever tricks you want to pull to trap the guy--just don't use putting down your own friends as one of them. i don't think miranda ever gossiped to a guy, "but carrie throws all her money away on ridiculous $400 shoes, so don't tease me about frivolous spending!"

i'm not mad. just saying, be careful before your insecurities shine through.

Valorie! This is the most valuable lesson i got from SATC. And that book is nice too for getting over situations like that where we are too blind to see.
By the way Buerger was a cool guy despite his "issues".
