He says:
Oh sure, they say they''re busy. They say that they didn''t have
even a moment in their insanely busy day to pick up the phone. It
was just that crazy. All lies. With the advent of cell
phones and speed dialing, it is almost impossible not to call you.
Sometimes I call people from my pants pocket when I don''t even
mean to. If I were into you, you would be the bright spot in my
horribly busy day. Which would be a day that I would never be too
busy to call you.
She says:
There is something great about knowing that my only job is to be
as happy as I can be about my life, and feel as good as I can about
myself, and to lead as full and eventful a life as I can, so that
it doesn''t ever feel like I''m just waiting around for some guy to
ask me out. And most importantly, it''s good for us all to remember
that we don''t need to scheme and plot, or beg anyone to ask us
out. We''re fantastic.
For ages women have come together over coffee, cocktails, or
late-night phone chats to analyze the puzzling behavior of men.
He''s afraid to get hurt again.
Maybe he doesn''t want to ruin the friendship.
Maybe he''s intimidated by me.
He just got out of a relationship.
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.
Unfortunately guys are too terrified to ever directly tell a
woman, "You''re not the one." But their actions absolutely show how
they feel.
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.
Reexamining familiar scenarios and classic mindsets that keep us
in unsatisfying relationships, Behrendt and Tuccillo''s wise and
wry understanding of the sexes spares women hours of waiting by the
phone, obsessing over the details with sympathetic girlfriends, and
hoping his mixed messages really mean "I''m in love with you and
want to be with you."
He''s Just Not That Into You is provocative, hilarious,
and, above all, intoxicatingly liberating. It deserves a place on
every woman''s night table. It knows you''re a beautiful, smart,
funny woman who deserves better. The next time you feel the need to
start "figuring him out," consider the glorious thought that maybe
He''s just not that into you. And then set yourself loose
to go find the one who is.
