Don't Analyze

I went the library today and started looking for books about playing hard to get. I found The Rules and The Rules II written by Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider. In the second books I read the part about applying the rules to a guy friend and it discussed whether your guy friend was interested in you or not. He isn't if he talks about other girls and solicits you for women advice because he really wants it. He would still have your back and call and care about you. He would be jealous if you dated someone but just as a girlfriend would. But the main thing is that he doesn't feel that spark. It said the only way that a guy friend would become more was if he was interested you from the beginning (more than a friend) but something prevented it from working out at the time.

Ugh. There is no hope. I was wrong the ENTIRE time. This hurts.
