I have a confession to make; I love not charging my phone, I just love the freedom of not knowing if someone is trying to contact me. Also sometimes I can't be bothered to reply to Facebook messages, and I tell people I'll do thing only to realize I already had something else planned. Worse than all this? If I found a guy I adored, I mean THE ONE, I am pretty sure I'd act in exactly the same way. Which means, according to Greg Behrendt that I'm just not that into you, so whatever I feel or you feel becomes irrelevant because I said I'd call and I didn't end of!
This is my major problem with this book, this guy has taken the way he behaved when he fell in love and said that anyone who doesn't behave in exactly the same way probably doesn't like you that much.
Obviously there are things he has said that are true, if a guy disappears on you forget him and move one (no shit Sherlock!), if a guy is cheating on you he doesn't really care enough about you to consider your feelings, Alcoholics are bad news. But really what kind of girl needs a book for these things? And on a side note whilst I would most certainly be dumping a guy's ass if he cheated on me I would be infinitely more hurt if I found out the guy I loved was frequently talking to another woman about his feelings, and life in a way he didn't feel able to talk to me.
Also am I the only one who felt there wasn't much emotion in this book as a whole? A guy could fulfil everyone of Greg's requirements and if all we ever talked about (on the phone when he called me at precisely the time he said he would) was the weather I would feel pretty safe in assuming this guy really wasn't that into me.
Before we go any further let me just cover one thing that is really truly bothering me, tell me I don't know because I'm not a guy but where is the fricking rule that says if you have to make the first move and if it's you who made the first move then that whole relationship is doomed because he can't possibly be that in to you!? Is he looking at you? Then he's noticed you, Does he keep looking? Then he's interested. And if he's still not doing anything? Well have you ever considered may be you don't look like you would welcome him approaching you? Or you're surrounded by a group of people? Or he's with a group of mates and would be embarrassed as hell if you shot him down? I mean really women shoot men down all the time men who aren't arrogant pricks are always going to waver a bit before they put themselves out there.
Maybe this is just a British thing but I would be a bit worried about a guy who showed me right from the beginning of a relationship how totally into me he was, how he practically thought I could walk on water because what is that based on? He doesn't even know me yet? How can he be so very into me after one date? He doesn't know that I always read my horoscope even though I remind myself the whole time that its rubbish, he doesn't know that full length films hardly ever make me cry but emotional film trailers, and those adverts about cancer research will almost always make me weepy, he couldn't possibly know that I once broke my heart over a boy who wouldn't date me because he was “waiting for Pamela Anderson” and until he knows all these things and lots more I don't want him to be all that in to me.
So I'm very sorry Greg but maybe he just IS that in to me, just not the way you want to pigeon-hole it.
