Epiphany

I finally figured it out. I'm such a genius.

I finally figured out why girls think guys are so confusing and why mixed signals even exist and why it never made sense to me when people say that men are simple creatures.

Because they are. Men are simple creatures. And a guy will tell a girl exactly what he means and what he wants.

The problem?

Girls don't listen.

We as females take what we hear a guy we like tell us and change the meaning and morph it into what we want to hear, even if its a stretch and there are plenty of reasons why he didn't mean what we think he did. HE DIDN'T MEAN WHAT WE THINK HE DID. Girls need to start taking things that guys say at face value. Guys aren't about hidden meanings and encryptions and Morse code. If a guy says the word friends to you, whether he literally says friends or he says something like, I don't know, buddies, then he doesn't want a relationship with you. Friends = friends. So since our regular ol' friends don't take us on dates, kiss us in public (or private really, but I'm just trying to make my point), and call us their girlfriend, that guy doesn't want that with you either.

So thats the problem. And although it may not seem like it, every problem has a solution.

And what, Olivia, might I ask that would be in a situation like this?

Well, I'm glad you asked. I'll tell you what the solution is.

GET OVER IT.

You know what, its not even that big of a deal. Whether you knew the guy for two weeks or two years, getting over it is so much more possible than we girls want it to be. And you know what, thats also our fault. Because we sit there for weeks and weeks, crying about it on the off chance that maybe if we don't change our minds they'll come around. This also won't happen. So the best thing to do is just put your big girl panties on, put a smile on your face, and decide that you're going to be okay. Its all a choice, and the choice, ladies, is yours.

And for any guys reading this post, I hope I hit the nail on the head.

And that, ladies and gents, is my nugget of wisdom for the night.
