Taylor Swift: 'Guarding your heart is more important than trying to decode short texts'

'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' superstar Taylor Swift has revealed that instead of trying to figure out what boys mean when they reply to messages with nothing more than a few words, girls should be more concerned with preserving their own dignity. 

During a new interview with Glamour magazine, she admitted that it's so easy to get caught up in trying to decode short texts and making excuses for the other person when, more often than not, if someone's being curt with you it's because they're just not interested:

"Guarding your heart and protecting your dignity are a little bit more important than clarifying the emotions of someone who’s only texting you back three words. I’ve learned that from trying to figure out people who don’t deserve to be figured out."

Swift went on to add that the draw of a mysterious person can quickly be dispelled once you realise there's just not much substance there: "When someone seems mysterious, we like to romanticise that he’s “deep” or “complicated.” But a lot of the time, things are exactly as they seem…"

"For a long time I was drawn to—and still am drawn to—people I find very interesting. [But] someone who sits and talks about themselves for an hour, you start to maybe wonder if, rather than trying so hard to be interesting, they could be a little bit more interested."
