He's Just Not That Into You by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo is so helpful. I feel like I'm going to be using this statement a lot, but, it will change your life!
Why will this book change your life?
Well, you'll begin to realize that when someone's into you, they'll let you know! Really, they will!
And how will they let you know, you ask?
Not by returning a smile or eye contact, or brushing your arm. Don't let anyone fool you into believing that's any sort of affirmation.
If the person of your desire doesn't A, tell you they like you, or B, ask you out, then they don't like you. NO EXCEPTIONS AT ALL. This is a rule.
I know! I know! But they were curious about your life and your family. They were so sweet! They gave you a gift! No, they don't like you. Don't get full of yourself now. When this person tells you with their words, or (even) with writing (you lucky, you!), that they like you, then we can celebrate!!! Unless it's over a text message or an email or something like that, 'cause that's not cool. Until then, keep it platonic. Don't embarrass yourself. I've already done enough of that for the both of us.
If you don't want to buy the book. At least see the movie; it has a few of those winning, life-changing ideas. On second thought, read the book, watch the movie. In that order.

I read HE's just not that into you years ago when it first came out. Great information. I was already married at the time but tried to share the info with my single friends. Another book that you might like to read is Act Like a Lady Think like a Man by Steve Harvey. Mr. Harvey is a comediene and has now parlayed himself into a relationship expert. I love your platform and your message!!!! I work with young girls and I keep trying to tell em!!! Following you!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I've heard about it! I saw his appearances on Tyra and Oprah. He has a lot of good things to say! Thank you for your support! I appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteI read this book but after I was married. It made me so thankful I wasn't single anymore. I had great times when I was dating but remember weeding through so much bullshit, including dating friends which is almost always a mistake.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog! I found you via the Tea Party.

I bought this book for my sister, the type of girl that wants a relationship & believes in signs, and looks into the whole thing a little too much etc. Needless to say, we're the complete opposite, a boy need's to go above and beyond to get my attention enough for me to put my guard down. Anyways, I just wanted to say, there are exceptions. And the exceptions usually pertain to guys who are...cowards/pussies. I had a boy like me for a year and a half. A YEAR AND A HALF, and had too much pride to be rejected by me so instead waited until I turned into his little obsession. bleh what a waste of emotion.
