You are investing deeper and deeper in this guy, despite the fact that he’s not showing any signs of chasing. Now you’re thinking about him a lot, discussing his behaviour with your friend, and over-analyzing every text he sends (when he does bother to send them).

In the early days of human evolution, deciding what to eat was a dilemma because some options could sicken or kill us. Because we’re omnivores, and biologically designed to eat plants, animals and fungi, we have wide-ranging options compared to “specialized eaters” like koala bears or monarch butterflies that can eat only one thing. The Omnivore’s Dilemma refers to the age-old human dilemma of deciding what to eat.
