He’s just not that into you

The movie version of the best seller He’s just not that into you” is being released during February.

The movie stars Jennifer Aniston and Ben Affleck amongst a host of other recognizable Hollywood actors.

Most people became aware of the book through the Oprah show and since then girlfriends all over the world at one time or another would have heard those words directed at them from their best friends.

The book was written by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo who were writers on the series version of Sex and the City and while writing a script for an episode, came up with the idea of the book and mantra for single women in relationships.

Of course when Oprah got wind of the book, a few women were brought into the studio to talk about the uhmmm loser boyfriends and told: “Honey, he’s just not that into you!”

Many men probably heard about it that very night of the Oprah episode. 

He doesn’t want to marry me…must mean he’s just not into me.  He works late often…he’s not just not that into me.  He ignores me during a rugby match…you get my drift?

My boyfriend at the time certainly heard all about it.  I asked him a truly ridiculous question (neither of us even remember what I asked) that just us women could come up with (in times of PMS). 

The poor man stared at me in total confusion, probably wondering what I was on about this time.

After a long speech I told him: You’re not that into me , right. 

Wrong, he said.  I’m into you plenty.

But Oprah said..

It eventually turned out that I was just not that into him.
