    This was an amazing book! One that I have shared with many of my friends that I have seen in not so great relationship. The fact that it was a male who wrote the book you are able to realize how accurate his perspective is.

    I loved this book: it was funny, fresh, with some great nuggets of truth. I remember the episode it came from and thought it was freeing to just choose to understand this rather than get dragged along with lousy excuses. I have been with my guy since forever, but I still loved it. What I took away was this: if a guy is really into you, he will do whatever it takes to make it work out. Period. Love that!

    This book was such a fun read. A friend recommended me to read it after a very long string of crappy relationships/guys I was meeting. Wow, what an eye opener. I realized I did many of the things that was mentioned in the book lol

    I dont care how old you are, if you are single and in the dating world you NEED to read this book. I love how Greg Behrendt is so directly honest. I find he covers any situation that you may run into (and God forbid some I hope to never encounter) and gives you the honest low down on why the guy is doing it, why it means he doesnt like you and if he is into what the situation should look like. I always pick up this book when Ive met another douche bag, it make me laugh and even after one chapter I already feel great about myself and sorry for the loser who just wasn't that into me.

    The book is fantastic! I reread chapters all the time!! I've also been known to post-it and highlight chapters and lend the book to my friends to read chapters I think could help them, two of my girlfriends went out and bought the book after I did that for them!

    I read this book after breaking up with my ex boyfriend. And I have read it many times since just because it is hilarious. Whether you agree with everything or not you will have a good laugh and the book really does make some good points. If you don't want to go out and buy it, take it out from your library.

    I read this book over the Valentine's Day weekend. No, the irony is certainly not lost on me!! Once I started I couldn't put it down. Every chapter was about a guy that I knew or had dated. The advice is timeless and thought-provoking. It really hit home how much time I have spent on doomed relationships and guys that were not worth my time!!

    I did think that some of the advice is a little bit unrealistic. It seems like taking the advice literally and to the letter means that NO guy will live up to the rules! If he doesn't call exactly when he says he will... dump him! If he doesn't ask you out within a short time of meeting you... lose him! If he says something that could be taken the wrong way... forget him! I know I'm simplifying the rules, but seriously, these guidelines are strict! But I guess that’s the whole point… don’t settle; you deserve better!

    Well written, funny and relevant, He's Just Not That Into You is a book that every girl on the dating scene should read!

    Being just over a month later I find myself pining for a guy that definitely is Just Not That Into Me!! When will I learn!? I guess I have to read the book again!

    Ok, this book has become my dating bible. Its not only hilarious but at the same time so true and always dead on when it gives dating scenarios. I couldn't put it down and read it within two days. Definitely opened my eyes when it comes to the dating world and at the end of the day it makes you stop analyzing every little detail and realize that "hey, he just wasn't that into me so...NEXT" lol A definite buy for every single babe out there!!!

    One of the threads on chickchat prompted me to dig out this book and post a review. So, w/ that, I'd like to call your attention to a book I read several years ago. Its called "He's Just Not That Into You -- The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys" and is authored by a writer and a consultant from "Sex and the City", Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo. This book is a great read, it goes quickly, and its loaded w/ real love-life examples that we can all relate to. So if you question how "into you" that one guy is, quit hyper-analyzing his actions and quit making excuses for his behavior. Grab this book and start learning how to read a guy and settle in w/ the one that really is that into you!
