Maybe it's time for us to read "He's Just Not That Into You."

I don't try to figure out guys' excuses anymore since I took this to heart. In fact, I am kind of ruthless now and don't stand for too much hesitation or coyness; I mean, within reason. I just don't take their calls, emails, etc, much less go out with them anymore.

It has been my experience that if a guy really wants to be with you, nothing on this earth will stop him. They will give you the full court press, unless they are painfully shy. And that doesn't seem to be the problem with surfer dude.

Maybe I'm just too impatient, or it's because I'm getting older, but I just don't believe in wasting time on this crap anymore.

Life is too short.
