Book Review

he's just not that into you - The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys
by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo

I think this one had some basic wisdom about guy-think, but I'm a girl, so who knows how applicable this is across the board.

My favorite, not necessarily personally applicable, take-aways include:
- Better than nothing is not good enough for you
- If you don’t know where the relationship is going, it’s ok to pull over and ask.
- Your only responsibility to someone else’s lapse in judgment is to yourself.
- Your lost self-esteem may take longer to find than a new guy, so prioritize accordingly.
- There’s someone out there that does want to have sex with you, hot stuff.
- There’s no excuse for cheating and it gets easier every time. (Cheaters never prosper, because they suck.)
- Let his mother yell at him. You’re too busy.
- You deserve to be with someone who is nice to you (You have to be nice too).

Standard Suggestions:
Don’t go out with a man who hasn’t asked you out first.
Don’t go out with a man who keeps you waiting by the phone.
Don’t date a man who isn’t sure he wants to date you.
Don’t date a man who makes you feel sexually undesirable.
Do not be with a man who’s afraid to talk about your future.
Do not, under any circumstances, spend precious time with a man who has already rejected you.
Do not be with a man who is not clearly a good, kind, loving person.
