I have a friend/co-worker that needs to read this book and educate herself, even if it came out about 10 years ago.
This woman who is a friend, and a co-worker, is bending over backwards and forwards to convince herself that this guy she just "knows" is the love of her life is going to marry her, when in fact, it is so obvious that he has very little serious interest in her at all (other than convenient hook-ups, etc.).
I'm tired of hearing about the un-returned phone calls and texts, the excuses he gives her for why he is not present or available to see her, and basically the "unrequited" feelings and love that my friend has to endure from someone that is, obviously to everyone else, just not there for her in return. How do other's cope with friends in this situation without insulting them too much or seriously hurting their feelings? Do you just let them find out the painful truth on their own? Give them a copy of "He's Just Not That Into You" ?
We are in our middle years, and I realize it's lonely "out there". But, I'm losing my patience and about to just be probably too overly blunt about the whole thing. What would you do?
