It's Not You, And It's Not Him

We all have had the day where we are walking to class and we are nervous about the upcoming tests.We close our lockers, look up, and it hits you.As you are looking up, the man of your dreams is looking right at you as he walks down the hall to the same classroom you two have shared since freshman year. You slowly catch your breath and slow your heart rate down as you look away.You never imagined when you would see someone who would make your heart race just by the look of him.

I, too, have been in the same situation.

There are many thoughts the cross your mind "Has he noticed me since freshman year? Does he think that I’m really pretty? Does he have a girlfriend? How do I try to get him to notice me without seeming too forward?"

I’m here to try and clear the air when it comes to the minds of men. All men are different, in fact some of them can’t really be classified as men when it comes to their goals and personality traits. I have three different reasons why a man could not be into you:

  • He is only looking at you because you happened to be in his line of sight.

It could be as simple as that.Men will sometimes only look up at women because they noticed something that is beside or behind you. Don’t take it to heart, as Chad Eastham says in his book, “the truth about dating” men are only able to talk or look at one thing at a time and all of their attention is focused on one item.If you are wanting to switch topics you have to be patient in order for them to switch “compartments” if you will in order to pay attention to you.

  • He only wants to hang out with you because he wants to just be your friend.

This can be heartbreaking if you think the world of him at first sight. Love at first sight can be misleading to some girls who think they can get any man they want. Don’t worry, there are plenty of other men in the world that would be worth your time, but don’t forget to take your time and enjoy your time hanging out with them without any limits or obligations.Try not to let your feelings get in the way when you’re simply getting to know them.Guys and girls are able to become best friends without the friendships being torn apart.I have three guys who I am best friends with and I have no worries with any of them.

  • He’s simply not ready for a relationship right now

Not every man that you come in contact with is emotionally, mentally or physically ready to have a relationship right now.No matter how insanely gorgeous he may be, or where he’s at in life, he may not want to add another commitment in his life at this point in time.Patience is a virtue.Keep in mind that you’re not the only girl that’s in his life.

I hope that these three ways help you better understand how to deal with men who are hard to understand.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
