That really is a truism. If the guy's into you, you don't have to beg him to call you. You don't have to worry about him asking you out. He will call.

Call Her Daddy

Maria mentioned reading a book called "You're Just Not That Into Him" before going on the Bachelor. She said that it helped her to accept that she wasn't going to be the prettiest girl in the room, and that she wasn't going to be the best dressed, but that she was going to be herself and if it worked, it worked.

"

So before going into the house, I had read something and it was like some book and it was called, you're just not that you're there's like, you're not that great or something like that.

So before going into the house, I had read something and it was like some book and it was called, you're just not that you're there's like, you're not that great or something like that.

And it was just like acknowledging the fact that you're not that great. And like, I never know, wait, just wait. I don't ever think of myself as like, like when you say like, like it's weird to me even believing when someone's like, Oh, someone's jealous of you.

Like I went into this bachelor world being like, I'm not going to be the prettiest girl in the room. I'm not going to be the best dress. I'm not going to be the most like exciting to look at or be with.

Like I just said, I'm going to be myself and if it works, it works.

Their comments highlighted the book’s relevance as a cultural reference for dating misunderstandings.

But how do you feel about the whole, like, when I watched He's Just Not That Into You, I was very young when that came out. Not very young, but I wasn't, I certainly wasn't out here trying to find my life partner. No. We're the same age. So we're the same. And I loved it because all the conversations that you have with girlfriends, it just like, it was perfectly presented, right? Where it's like, we don't need to sit here for hours and figure out what this text means or the lack of text, what that means. He doesn't, he's not fucking into you.
