He's Just Not That Into You by Greg Behrendt & Liz Tuccillo (2004)

, 5 Sept 2012

Many years have elapsed since I first read this book, nearly 2 decades, and I can swear by it. To me, this is one of those classic books that any teenage girl and young woman should read. It is not only funny and entertaining to read (a movie was made out of it, that says it all), but it also cuts the crap that we use to cheer ourselves or our friends when dealing with a person  who is not giving us anything but breadcrumbs.

The feminine tend to support each other in relationships and emotional crisis, which is wonderful, and to think the best of the love interest we fancy. However, but by doing this, we contribute to spread a crappy fantasy that does not help us get over a crush, gives wings to guys who are unworthy, immature unavailable or manipulative people, while let others pass by.

The book does not blame anybody, does not force one to do anything, fake anything or change who we are. It tells us to get on with our life because if he really likes you, he will do the impossible to get your attention and show you that he likes you. It sounds very basic common sense but we women tend to be nonsensical when we're emotionally loaded, no matter our intelligence or common sense in other aspects of life.

I have experience the basic advise in this book to be really accurate, and bullet proof. The exception is probably the exception and not the norm. 
 
One of those self-help books that every woman should read at an early age. The sooner the better. It helps to let the crappy crappola people disappear from our lives quicker, and open the door to those who are decent and adult.
