<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Yesterday as I waited at the <a href="http://gansevoortsouth.com">hotel</a> elevator feeling sad it was time to cram sundresses back into my carryon (it was a work trip, people!), Mary* shared with me and everyone waiting at the elevator bank "I was up until 3AM having phone sex with Jim*".
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">"Have you no shame, woman?!" The words rushed out of my mouth before I could stop them.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">The look on my face was pretty easy to read. I even told her I couldn't hear anymore. But of course she continued in front of everyone standing there trying to enjoy their South Beach getaway. I was embarrassed for her. My reaction may seem harsh but this is the same Mary who told me she went to see Jim a few days ago and it was "awkward" so she left pretty quickly.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Awkward but when he calls and says he's stressed, she should be the one to "help him relax"? (Her words, not mine.)
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Along with her best friend, I've given her advice. It was to "Delete, Delete, Delete" - his number from her cell, his email address out her 'Berry, his name off her Facebook friends list (so she can stop checking to see if he's online and then wondering why he hasn't said Hello yet.) I don't think she'll ever realize he's just not that into her. She has to wake up on her own.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">She could waste $12 to see <em>He's Just Not That Into You</em> and the message would skip right over her as she texts Jim during the movie. Right now, she's not listening to anyone who is telling her to move on. All of her attention is focused on Jim. So of course she's disappointed because he's not doing the same.

<span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:Georgia">Today begins February – the month where half the country is hopeful Cupid will hit them in the ass but they will instead spend their Valentine's Day alone eating Thai as they watch Lifetime. Or if they are lucky, they celebrate being single with some friends. Before they go home alone. To watch Lifetime. I really want Mary to have a different Valentine's Day but I'm not getting through to her. She's going to be crushed in a two weeks. </span><span style="font-family:Wingdings">L</span><span style="font-family:Georgia">
</span></span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Tuesday night, I'm going to a screening of the movie <em>He's Just Not That Into You</em>, maybe something silly will be said and I can pass it along to her.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I have to ask, how do you get someone to finally see the light?
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:7pt">*Jim is really not Jim. His name has been changed. He's an ass no matter what name you give him though. * Mary is not really Mary. One day she'll realize Jim is not just that into her. Although it probably won't happen before he announces his engagement to someone else.</span>
