Hi All,

Well, I was browsing some books online and purchased "He's Just Not That Into You". I read a couple pages and it was cracking me up. So, I decided to get it. Anyone else read this book or any other good book?

Yes - I did like that one - it is so simple yet a good concept - if he likes you he is into you and treats you well. If not then not and it is not you - just his choice - so get over it and find someone into you!

It really explained the reason why a guy doesn't want to call and stuff like that.

I also liked the book called Venus and Mars on a Date.

I haven't read that, but I did read "Be Honest, You're Not That Into Him, Either", which was a great book about being empowered and not settling for the first guy who is into you simply for the sake of being in a relationship- and not allowing yourself to think there's a chance for a relationship when neither of you really wants one with the other, anyhow.

I also read "You Have to Kiss a Lot of Frogs", which was actually just a funny book about dating, and not at all "self-help", and Ive been reading a couple of books by Laurie Notaro, the most recent one being "I love Everyone", again, just funny anecdotes, but great light humor.

I also am in the middle of the second Rules book. This one focuses more on after the dating stage- marriage, long term, long distacne, internet, etc. I'm not finding it as useful as I did the first one, mostly because I don't believe that a woman should never voice her opinion or ask for sex in a marriage, but I am reading it, nonetheless.

Moody, a voracious reader

You have been reading a lot... I thought about buying "The Rules"... but again since I'm not much of a rules person, I changed my mind.

I saw the title "Be Honest, You're Not that into him either", but hadn't heard any reviews on that... so I thought I'd start with the original ... and the sample pages were giving me a laugh.

I suppose if I'm not dating (and it feels like it's been forever since a meeting turned into an actual date...lol) than I might as well be reading about it.... BTW, I did NOT hear from Alan over the weekend and I'm happy to say that I did NOT drunk dial or drunk text him. If he's interested he will call. If not, than it's time to move on.

Quoi? " I'm not finding it as useful as I did the first one, mostly because I don't believe that a woman should never voice her opinion or ask for sex in a marriage" They actually recommend that? No wonder I'm divorced! Good thing M likes that I have a healthy libido. Come to think of it, my X did think that if I didn't agree with him totally, I was being non supportive, yet, he also said I was too passive- go figure.
I do have He's Not That Into You book and enjoyed it, but I try not to take any dating book advice too seriously, just relax and be myself is the best advice.
