I read this book last week and loved it. I HIGHLY recommend it to all the single women out there. It's a quick read and it's full of wisdom!

Check it out at Amazon.

OK, which one of us is going to write, "But I'm Just Not That Into HIM" ?

Didn't someone write something like that, or am I dreaming. I think someone wrote a reply already, but I could be mistaken. If not, I bet it would be a hot book. This book was number three last week. Isn't that unbelievable?

OMG! I must purchase this for this poor single woman that I had the misfortune of watching her very last drop of dignity float down sh*t creek!

I didn't have major plans for New Years so I agreed to take a short trip with a 'friend' I'd known for quite some time. I thought it strange that she wanted to travel from Milwaukee to Mississippi to pick this man up to bring him back here, but, it really wasn't my business the circumstances. Right? Well, unless she volunteered them in which she did.

She said that they'd been best friends for years and had made plans to take this relationship to another level since they were so much alike. Fine. Right? It happens.

Well, the perk in making this long trip or disperate trip was that I'd be close to some relatives, namely my 98 year old grandpa. I rested in the hotel as this woman hunted the man that she called her bestfriend turned lover down. Yep! You got it! He was no where to be found upon our arrival. I couldn't stand to watch and she didn't invite me as she plead with people to show her how to get to his house which was situated down some long dirt country road.

I heard her pleading with him, leaving voice messages to pick up the phone... Well, she finally found him. He came to the hotel. He was distant but with a few New Years drinks that we had in the room, he loosened up. Boy oh boy did he ever.

He flat out told her that she should have let him be the one to make that move...the one that traveled miles to her. He told her that he wasn't sure if he would/could deal with a woman so forthright (short of saying the desperate word).

She was grouchy on the way back up that long road yet still made excuses for his behavior. When I flat out told her, "he's not into you like you are him," she even justified that. Maybe this book will help her.

Happy New Year!

Sugaree, forgive me. I must live a dull life according to some people, but I love it. I think I would have been totally freaked out in a hotel room with a strange man who was drinking. Weren't you scared? I was just reading about it. I probably sound like you mother, but I'm glad you made it home! [Wink]

The author of that book was on Oprah during the holiday season. I almost never see O but caught this episode. The guy was engaging women in the audience to tell their tales and he would respond from the guy perspective. it was interesting but made me want to throw a brick through the tv and bean the guy!

Not me. I wanted to bean the idiotic women. They seemed Dependent to the point of delusion.
I couldn't believe they were hanging onto the idea that some guy was 'into' them who hadn't called for weeks, called only at the end of the evening, or only asked them out only during the week, or some other idiotic thing.
I thought the guy was therapeutic. He told them to get on with their lives and forget the guy. Seemed like great advice to me. But then I'm weird.

Hello,
I am new here; just joining this site!
I have read many of the posted comments, and feel I, with my recent attempt at a relationship, after three years of abstinence, would benefit from you feedback. I won't burden you all with the details, except that I am 54, divoced 8 years, and having repeated disastrous atttempts at relationship.
I hope to post my most recent experience at this and get your helpful and insightful feedback, which I am MUCH in need of at this time!

Hello, Dotsie, and thank you. I found this forum by searching for "He's Not That Into You Forum" and you popped up. I spent much of the weekend reading the posts, which were very appropriate to my situation.
I will share my story in increments, but for now, I just wanted to thank you for this site and the benefits to people like me. Oh...incidentally, I'm 54, divorced 8 years.
