He's Just Not That Into You

I realized today that I missed the second episode of Glee earlier this week. Thanks to Hulu I was able to catch the whole thing on my computer. I don't know exactly what it is, but I really like this show. Maybe it's because I'm far enough removed from high school that I can appreciate the uncomfortableness without it affecting me anymore.

Which brings me to a very interesting revelation that my sister-in-law laid on me a couple of weeks ago. Her middle-school age son broke up with his first girlfriend. She talked about it with him afterwards and found out he may not have been very nice about the break-up. Probing further, he divulged that he needed to be callus in order to protect himself. He didn't want to cry in front of his girlfriend...so he made her cry instead.

Wow! If I had only had this nugget back in the day. It's like the Sex and the City episode where Burger lets Miranda know that when a guy has no follow through...he's just not that into you. The whole concept was spun off into a successful movie.

If my nephew could parlay this revelation into some sort of Hollywood script, maybe it would make the heartbreak worth it. But then again...maybe not.
