Mr. Megalomaniac

HE talks too much about himself until I was speechless! Often times I was lost for words. Hardly asked about me. And he had the nerve to put his tongue into my mouth! Euww.. Definitely NOT the one I want.

I want a guy who treats me like a princess, makes me laugh, pampers me, spoils me silly and takes care about me. Makes me happy, relaxes me. Neither easy, sleazy nor selfish. Basically treat me like a queen or else he's just not that into me!

Taken from the book "He's Just Not That Into You" (a movie about it coming soon!) where one part, a reader writes about her situation she's facing related to dating guys, and it sound just a bit waaay too familiar...

Dear Greg, (the author)

I've been on three dates with a guy who's a really great catch. He's a journalist (well not really in my case) who has an incredibly exciting life - he travels, goes on adventures, and has incredibly interesting observations about it all. He's also really funny (nah). He compliments me and seems to like me and keeps asking me out. He always says he's had a great time with me (uh huh..) But in fact, in the three dates we've had together, he actually hasn't asked me one question about myself (hell yeah, right on!). He's obviously really into me otherwise why would he keep asking me out and telling me how nice I look? Maybe this is what it's like dating exciting guys. He's a great catch, Greg!

And this was Greg's reply to Ronda's letter in his book "He's Just Not That Into You"...

Dear Captive Audience,

You are so lucky to be with such an exciting guy. You get to watch him perform conversational masturbation on you (err..). Hot. He's clearly as impressed with himself as you are. I hate to tell you this, but he's just not that into you; he's into how you look listening to him (ouch!). When I met my wife, all I wanted to do was ask her questions. How else was I going to know what she's all about? Yes, I like telling her my story too - I wanted to impress her with feats of glory - but it was an even exchange, because I thought she was the catch. When two people are connecting, they hunger for information about each other, a sliver of what life is like when you're not together, a glimpse into their past, a peek into their mind, all in hopes of getting under their skin. This guy sounds like a megalomaniac. At the very least he should be asking you what kind of underwear you're wearing (LOL!)
