she's really quite amazing with her persistence and noble attempts to maintain self-respect and dignity in the dating world. it truly does seem like we're subjected to blow after blow of booty calling and relationshipless relationships, aside from the ridiculous amounts of time spent deciphering the significance of an email, text, or voicemail message. perhaps, 'he's just not that into you' IS well put...
