I was cleaning out my inbox this evening and came across an article I’d sent to myself quite some time ago, called Dating 101: Why Guys Dump Girls They Dig. I gave it a quick read, and realized it’s sort of like the opposite of that literary atrocity He’s Just Not That Into You (I’m being bombarded with the commercials for the movie version as I write). After reading the article, what I came away with was this: You just can’t win.

According to Yahoo! Personals these are the reasons guys up and dump girls they seem to like:

• Bad timing
• He still likes the (other) ladies
• He can’t stop thinking the worst
• Not “in love”
• A little too “in love”

Assuming Yahoo! isn’t lying to us, we can only assume that the guys in our lives are going to bail, pretty much no matter what. Happy (almost) Valentines Day!
