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 ago, 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 with when dealing with a person  who is not giving us anything but breadcrumbs.

The feminine tends to support other females during relationship emotional crisis, which is wonderful. Many women tend to  think the best of the love interest they fancy fancy, not matter their gender. However, by doing this, we contribute to spread a crappy fantasy that does not help us get over a crush, gives wings to people who are unworthy, immature, emotionally unavailable or manipulative, while let others who are good for them pass by.

The book does not blame anybody, does not force anyone to fake anything or change who we are. It tells us to get on with our life because, if he really likes you, he'll do the impossible to get your attention and show you that he does. 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 our lives.

I have experienced the basic advise in this book to be accurate. 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 crappy people disappear from our lives quicker, and opens the door to those who are decent and adults with maturity.
