I finished "He's Just Not That Into You" a few weeks back and really enjoyed it. If ever I were dating again, I'd appreciate the advice inside.
Here's a long quote I found amusing. Enjoy.

"Hey. I know that guy you're dating. Yeah, I do. He's that guy that's so tired from work, so stressed about the project he's working on. He's just been through an awful breakup and it's really hitting him hard. His parent's divorce has scarred him and he has trust issues. Right now he has to focus on his career. He can't get involved with anyone until he knows what his life is about. He just got a new apartment and the move is a bitch. As soon as it all calms down he'll leave his wife, girlfriend, crappy job. God, he's so complicated.
He is a man made up entirely of your excuses. And the minute you stop making excuses for him, he will completely disappear from your life. Are there men who are too busy or have been through something so horrible that makes it hard for them to get involved? Yes, but there are so few of them that they should be considered urban legends. For as already suggested, a man would rather be trampled by elephants that are on fire than tell you he's just not that into ou. That's why we've written this book. We wanted to get the excuses out of the closet, so to speak, so they can be seen for exactly what they are: really bad excuses.
Move on, sister! Cut your losses and dont waste your time. Why stay in some weird dating limbo when you can move on to what will surely be better territory? Dont want to hear it? Fine. Here's the answer you're looking for: Hang in there, baby. He's not the loser everybody's telling you he is. If you wait and keep your mouth shut and call at exactly the right time and anticipate his moods and have no expectations about communication or your own sexual needs, you can have him! But please dont be suprised when he dumps you or continues to drag you through a completely unsatisfying relationship.
We've heard it and you're sick of it. You know you deserve to have a great relationship. We agree. Don't waste the pretty!"
