If he likes you, he will find you
Just today I read the interview of Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo, authors of the best selling book "He’s Just Not That Into You." I was laughing and laughing in my seat that I went straight to the Internet shop to look for exerpts of the book. EVERYTHING HE SAID, IT’S SO TRUE!!!
Boys should do the chasing. They want to and they would love to if they want the girls so bad. If he doesn’t make the effort to ask the girl out, well, he’s just not into her. I believe that. Secondly, women deserve to be chased.
I know I am worthy to be pursued to the ends of the earth by the guy who loves me. If he wants me, he should find me. I am that precious.
So I’m posting an excerpt because I enjoyed reading it so much that I’m grinning ear to ear.
"THIS IS WHAT IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE, by Greg
One night I was drinking in a bar and flirting with the bartender. I asked for her number. She said, "I don’t give out my phone number because guys rarely call me when they say they’re going to. My name is Lindsey Adams, and if you want to call me, find my phone number." Which I did — the very next day. Do you know how many Lindsey Adams there are in the phone book of a major city? Let’s just say I talked to about eight or nine before I found mine.
An actor we work with met a girl while he was making a public appearance on an aircraft carrier. He lost track of her in about ten minutes. And yet, because he was so smitten, he somehow managed to track her down in the army, and they are now married.
The "Maybe He Forgot to Remember Me" Excuse
Dear Greg,
Okay, Greg. Listen to this one: I was at a conference for work and met a guy from another branch of my company. We hit it off immediately. He was just about to ask for my number, I swear, when the Big Blackout of 2003 happened. In the mayhem, I didn’t get to give him my number. I think the Big Blackout of 2003 is a good enough excuse to call him, don’t you think? It’s only common courtesy for me to check up on him, right? If I don’t call, he’s probably going to be all sad thinking that I’m just not that into him.

Dear Judy Blackout,
The city blacked out. He didn’t. You said you work for different branches of the same company. Certainly he wouldn’t have to break a sweat to scroll through the company staff roster or interoffice e-mail listing to find you. And should he not be as resourceful as you are…I imagine that he has a mother, sister, or female friend that could show him how, if he was really interested.
P.S.: Shame on you for using an eastern seaboard disaster as an excuse to call a guy up.
Have faith. You made an impression. Leave it at that. If he likes you, he’ll still remember you after the tsunami, flood, or Red Sox loss. If he doesn’t, he’s not worth your time. Know why? You are great. (Now, don’t get cocky.)"
