LOVE JONES



Can be used as a verb (Jonesing) or a noun (a jones). Describes a state in which one experiences strong desire or attraction, often of a sexual nature. Equiv. "to fancy" "crushing on" "to want"
She's been jonesin him for months.
He's got a major jones for her.

I put the definition of the word above to assist those that have never seen the movie or have no idea what I'm referring to going forward.  Now that I've explained this, let's begin.

Love Jones...If any of you have ever seen this classic movie, you know that it is the epitome of how Love gets complicated.  How insecurities, pride, and just F'n bad communication assist the struggles of life.  Around minute fifty-three, Nina gets a call from her ex.  Yes the one that she still has a feeling for but won't admit to it.  In her efforts to make sure the new love interest is real, she and her girlfriend set up a "test."  The test is to be upfront a mention visiting the ex and if the new interest plays too cool then she should continue with her plan to see her ex.  Her new interest listens to her thoughts and figures if you are bringing it up then you must want to go.  I can't hold you back from doing what you want to do.  This question starts the avalanche that will soon follow.
I never really liked that F'n movie!  However, that movie is so true in many ways.  Far too often things are left open to interpretation, and we know interpretation is just another word for ASSUME....We made an ASS out of U and ME!  From a male perspective, if you are bringing up another dude, that tells us that you are still interested in them.  Major Red Flags!  Women want to test you and see what your interest is in them before they make a decision.  in essence, it's robbery, no, Highway Robbery of your emotions.  It happens far too often.  Then the blame game starts and the insecurities,  jealousy, and lack of trust will soon follow.  There's a saying that goes "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."  However, what happens when your friend becomes your enemy?  Mis-communication is the best way to turn a friend into your worst enemy.  Why?  Because you know them and they know you.
Not a rambling post as normal since it's been so long, but I just wanted to share.
