He’s Just Not That Into You
by Greg Behrendt & Liz Tuccillo
If you watched Sex and the City, or have seen the He’s Just Not That Into You movie, you probably already know what the book is about. But if you’ve missed out on the screen versions, He’s Just Not That Into You demystifies the bizarre behaviour of men in dating scenarios. Greg Behrendt shares insights that women have been sorely missing for decades. Centuries probably. He basically takes all the hours we’ve spent obsessing about what the confusing behaviour of the opposite sex means and boils it down to one simple truth. A guy who likes you will not leave you wondering and sitting by the phone. Period.
As I read this book I saw EXACT examples of male behaviour that I have been subject to. I know Greg and Liz haven’t met my exes, but I swear they were recounting stories I have lived. I’ve already re-read multiple sections, because their advice is just that great. Their message may be a bit hard to take at first, because nobody really wants to accept that the guy who didn’t call just doesn’t like them, but I think this book is genius. And while it may seem disheartening at first, it’s really a book that focuses on how awesome women are and why we should love ourselves enough to not let a guy treat us any less than great.
All women who are dating should keep He’s Just Not That Into You handy as a reference. Read it, and then when you’re lying awake wondering what his latest behaviour means, check it and I bet you’ll find your answer.

I have to say I loved the movie. And the book sounds like it is just as wonderful. I don’t know why I didn’t pick it up along with my copy of the movie.
I loved the movie as well Jennifer! So much so that I bought the DVD.
I picked up the book long after getting the movie, because life was calling for it, and it just happened to be on sale. (It still is here, so if you want it, now’s the time!) As you can tell, I am a HUGE fan. My little sister is reading it now.
