Someone Needs a Copy of The Rules
While we were at Sunday brunch, I overheard a young urbanite explaining her dating situation to her friends: "we've been dating for three years, if you call it that. I mean, we've never done anything together sober. Maybe a movie. Once."
I was half expecting Annie Hall to show up and club her with a tennis racket.
Did I mention my pancakes were absolutely horrible? Do not eat in at Bagelworks in Canton.

You can eat there; just stick with the omelettes. Or the bagels. But they also have a mouse problem, so beware of the "seeds" on your everything bagel.
That young urbanite needs to read "He's Just Not That Into You." I believe there was an actual chapter called, "If he's always impaired when he sees you, he's just not that into you." Yeah, I would imagine that's a pretty big red flag. Aaaaah...
People really do allow too much bad behavior, I think.
Is this a "friendship with benefits" chapter? I guess that's how he's likes to think of it. Where the hell did you get this book? I remember you blogging about it a while back--do they carry it at the library? I think I'm going to suggest it for this book club I'm joining.
Hmm, I would imagine it would be at the library. It was published fairly recently though, since it got a lot of press about a month ago.
It's based on a "Sex and the City" episode, which was based on a real conversation... the writers were sitting around vetting an episode when they started to talk about real-life dating scenarios, and the male writer (who was with a bunch of females who were trying to analyze a guy's bad behavior) cut to the chase: "He's just not that into you." It sounds strange, but it's supposed to be oddly liberating -- like, all those women who sit around waiting for jerks they date to call should really just see the signs, move along and find somebody who treats them well.
It's a quick read, and really more "self-help" than anything else. But fairly amusing with some good points on why people shouldn't let others treat them shittily. (Hmm, "shittily." Hmm.)
