He’s Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys is the single woman’s guide to surviving the dating game.

If you didn’t see it coming - the breakup, I mean - and are living with the lies men tell to avoid looking like the villain of the piece, then this book is for you.

I wish I’d read it earlier, but then I’m just getting back into dating after 18 years of being in a committed relationship, so I guess its never too late to learn.

He’s Just Not That Into You is co-authored by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo, the script-writers of Sex and The City, and includes Greg’s caustic and funny take on men who lie to the women they are dating. Take it from a guy who knows what he’s talking about!

If the man you’re dating is not communicating, not calling you up when he can, “emotionally unavailable”, “busy”, not physically attracted to you, treats you like a buddy, is married or disappears on you, then read the writing on the wall, girls - He’s Just Not That Into You!!

As the book review says:

For ages women have come together over coffee, cocktails, or late-night phone chats to analyze the puzzling behavior of men. Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo are here to say that — despite good intentions — you’re wasting your time.

Men are not complicated, although they’d like you to think they are. And there are no mixed messages. The truth may be, He’s Just Not That Into You.

He’s Just Not That Into You — based on a popular episode of Sex and the City — educates otherwise smart women on how to tell when a guy just doesn’t like them enough, so they can stop wasting time making excuses for a dead-end relationship. This book knows you’re a beautiful, smart, funny woman who deserves better.

Its funny and tragic how smart women like us can make excuses for a man’s inauthenticities and make fools of ourselves over guys who don’t give a damn about us or our feelings.

The reasons we do it is because we sometimes feel we don’t deserve better, or are just afraid that there aren’t all that many options out there. But, as Greg notes, that’s no reason to stay with a man whose obviously wrong for you and makes you miserable.

Its probably going to take some work on yourself to face up to that, but if you don’t do it, who will? Personally, I’d rather be on my own than in a miserable relationship.

And I think the next book on my reading list is gonna be Be Honest–You’re Not That Into Him Either: Raise Your Standards and Reach for the Love You Deserve.
