Books I read
I read a lot. Really, lots and lots. A pretty wide variety of kinds of books, too. Included in that are lots of books about sex. Erotica, instruction, psychological, sociological. All kinds.
Yeah, I read those self-help, how-to ones that are more about dating than sex, too.
He’s Just Not That Into You. It’s brilliant. Really. It’s definitely written for women; I think if a guy read it he’d think, “Well, duh, isn’t this all obvious? You had to buy and read about to know this stuff???”
Well, yes. That’s the problem. Even if a guy is doing (or not doing) all kinds of things that really should make it clear he’s “not that into you” a lot of women still need to be smacked over the head.
I read the book a long time ago, when it first came out and I vaguely remember thinking it was spot on then, too. However I’d forgotten that I owned it and came across it yesterday. Kind of in the same vein that women (ok, I) need to be smacked over the head sometimes, it’s a good book to re-read periodically.
Of course, really accepting that a guy isn’t into you can be ego-crushing. Not something to think about too much if you’re already in a low self esteem mood. Luckily, I have at least three guys who are very generous in their compliments to me which make me feel all good about myself. (No, it’s not *only* compliments from others that make me feel good about myself; I’m more psychologically stable than that. But, they sure help!) So, the other potentials that have done (or not done) these “not into you” things… I can shrug it off easier.
Can someone tell my why the hell it’s snowing at the end of MARCH????
