He's Just Not That Into You (the movie) debuted at #1 this past weekend. Quick backstory - the book is co-written by comedian Greg Behrendt, who is one of my favorites and actually inspired me to start doing stand-up. Greg was a consultant for Sex and the City, this phrase was said by him and it caught on when the show aired. Then, he co-authored a book of relationship advice and somehow ended up with a talkshow where he helped people out with problems. Even though he's a comedian.

Certainly, there are MANY people out there in very unhappy relationships that aren't going anywhere. If this book helped you out, that is fantastic. I've seen some of my own friends not getting back what they put into a relationship and really, there comes a point where you need to move on. The person you're with should dig you.

I looked up the Wiki and here's what it says in reference to the episode - "Because the man declined Miranda's invitation to come up to her apartment after the date, stating that he has an early meeting, Jack concludes, "he's just not that into you," adding, "When a guy's really into you, he's coming upstairs, meeting or no meeting."

Taken to the extreme - where does it end? If a girl asks a guy to come upstairs but his Mom has open heart surgery in the morning, is he not that into her? If a girl asks a guy to get together for breakfast but he's flying to Tokyo in the morning or he's going to lose his job, is he not that into her? Do we have to do everything a girl requests now, lest she think we're not that into her?
