In the movie, “He’s Just Not That Into You” (seen on the plane on the way home from San Francisco), Drew Barrymore’s character laments the sorry state of communication with the opposite sex:
“I had this guy leave me a voicemail at work, so I called him at home, and then he emailed me to my BlackBerry, and so I texted to his cell, and now you just have to go around checking all these different portals just to get rejected by seven different technologies. It’s exhausting.”
She didn’t mention it, but you can get rejected by Twitter, too. Or at least, this is what I imagine are the Twitter signs he’s just not that into you (inspired by a friend who shall be nameless):
- He doesn’t retweet your clever tweets.
- He tweets when he’s out with you, but doesn’t mention you.
- He doesn’t send you sexy DMs any more.
- He unfollows you, and then…
- He blocks you.
What other signs are there?

Anyone who tweets in any way when he’s spending time with me is not that into me. Put another way, I would not be into anyone who tweets when we’re supposed to be together. I can’t even believe that people put up with others talking on cell phones while they’re supposed to be out together. Call me old fashioned, but if I’m with a friend or someone even more into me, I expect the focus to be on us.
Oh, I agree! I’ve just noticed occasional messages where someone is out with someone and tweets about it. I picture the two, heads down, messaging like crazy. Sure, they aren’t going to be gazing lovingly into each other’s eyes at a ball game, for instance, but focus, people!
