From Publishers Weekly
It’s a classic single-woman scenario: you really like this guy, but he’s giving mixed messages. You make excuses, decide he’s confused, afraid of commitment. Behrendt, a former executive story editor for Sex and the City—and a formerly single (now happily married) guy who knows all the excuses—provides a simple answer: he’s just not that into you. Stop kidding yourself, let go and look for someone else who will be. After all, as Behrendt sensibly puts it, "if a (sane) guy really likes you, there ain’t nothing that’s going to get in his way." If you’re not convinced yet, by all means read this smart, funny and surprisingly upbeat little book, full of q’s and a’s covering every excuse woman has ever made to avoid admitting to herself that a man just wasn’t that smitten with her.

From School Library Journal
Adult/High School–With a bright, breezy style, the authors highlight a list of actions that men take to demonstrate that they are "just not into you," using "Dear Greg" letters and replies, unscientific polls of men, lists reviewing the key points in each chapter, a comic glossary, and laugh-out-loud workbook assignments. Although this book is meant for the 20-plus career women who have been dating for a while, the empowering message that a woman deserves a man who truly loves her and not one that she must constantly make excuses for can't be learned too early.–Jane S.

Pressestimmen
'My dating bible.' Now magazine 'The publishing sensation of the year.' Daily Telegraph 'A new dating book, HJNTIY, is taking Britain by storm! The book cuts to the core of men's behaviour.' Daily Mail 'Sometimes an idea for a new book is so blindingly obvious that we think we should have written it ourselves. The concept behind He's Just Not That Into You is simple but speaks universal truth about the excuses men come up with to fob off women.' Daily Express 'This book, by the relationship consultants on Sex and the City, will be something of a Godsend, as it aims to make life easier for women who want to get past the crappy get-out lines fellas use. It's wickedly hilarious, and it's sure to turn you into a stronger, better-equipped gal!' OK magazine.

Kundenrezensionen

Is it just that easy? - Absolutely!
Having a relationship is not easy, especially when there are men and women involved. Many rules are to be regarded, i. e. do not call him firstly. So there is no need to wonder why the writers Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo put this item right on the first pages. Afterwards they work on with weird excuses men often use for their absent time. By the way, who never heard something about hard work, not ready for a tight relationship or just an ill mother to care for? Some situations are really unbelievable and often made me laugh. Nevertheless, there is never going to be a good excuse for cheating. Obviously it is typical for women to find excuses themselves why he is not calling or even why he forgot her birthday or worse.

To sum up I would not understand this book as guidance for relationships. The twelve chapters are constructed to start with some letters to the editor. Each of them describes a more or less reliable behaviour of a male partner. The following letter is the answer of Greg Behrendt with mainly one message: he is just not that into you. By the way, nearly every guy has to be sorted out. So we just hope that women will not decide too fast and ignore the special one. The advice is given in a witty way and stimulates to proof your own behaviour. Women can expect to be treated as politely as a man is able to, but it is also a small boundary to be too needy. Of course, everybody wants to be emotionally protected and feel valuable, so it is up to everybody to find the right partner. That is not an easy job, so do not waste your time with guys who do not own your attention. These phrases could not be repeated too much, so read this book and have fun with it. It is a great entertainment. Women who love SatC will love this one too.
Other publications from Greg Behrendt are "It's called a break-up because it's broken" and "It's just a date".

excellent!
to put it in a few words:
this book tells nothing but the truth and leaves no room to excuse or explain the bad or irritating behaviour of men. its a duty to read by every woman who is still searching for mr. right. ladies, no more stumbling in the fog, read this and your view is clear.

should be compulsory for all women!!!
if you're a fan of sex and the city, you'll love this book! (remember the episode when miranda realises this one guy is "just not that into her"? that's what this book focusses on. there are no mixed messages. if a guy doesn't - in some obvious way - show you he is really interested in you, he is not!). a must read for every woman, single or in a relationship. very refreshing! it really gave me a reality check as most of the stories mentioned sounded only too familiar! the underlying message is very positive: every woman is worth having guys pursue her, and not the other way round!
