My sister reminded me of this book by finding it lost within my bookcase. I'll sum up all the advice it offers:
"If a guy isn't marrying, chasing, stalking, or committing his undying love for you, he's not into you"
Sorry, but I consider men a little more complicated than that.
I give it 2 stars because it's funny to laugh at.

One of the best books I've ever read, and definitely the best non-fiction book I've ever read. I saw the movie first after being dumped and immediately sought out the book. I think Greg can be a bit blunt, but it's in the best way possible. I need a Greg in my life to tell me the hard things, but I'll settle on having a little voice in my head saying what I think Greg would say.
It's weird because you'd think saying someone you were interested in just wasn't that into you seems like it would be really hurtful, but it's not. It's actually pretty liberating. Am I annoyed with myself thinking about all the shit I put up with that I shouldn't have? Yes. Nothing I can do about that now except use what I learned in this book to make sure it doesn't happen again.

A quick, empowering read for those who waste valuable time on guys who exhibit any number of undesirable qualities or are simply “just not that into” you. There are sections of the book that may not be relevant to your situation(s), but are good to consider for future reference. Also, there are times during which the author’s “daily wake-up calls” are repetitive or contradict themselves. Overall, there are a number of quality points to internalize and commit to memory.

This book is just the type of tough love necessary to get through a hard time. Every female wants to make up excuses for men's behavior when they hurt them. In all actuality, the guy just isn't that into you. Any guy that IS into you would never make you feel in these ways, or even provoke these questions in your mind. This book DRILLS these points into your head. I know it turned my confidence around in a difficult time and I felt empowered and more confident at the end.

I just re-skimmed this book, and I agree with a lot more of what the author has to say now than I did when I first read it almost 3 years ago. I still think its a little over-the-top though.

There's a lot of good stuff here, despite the highly repetitive Q&A format. Not necessarily a "must-read", but a good look at what's worth pursuing in a relationship.

I guess if I were single, this book would have been quite helpful. But alas, I am happily married and have been with my husband since the ripe old age of 17, so none of these scenarios came close to anything I've ever experienced. With that being said, the book was direct and to the point exactly when it needed to be. It's sad that some women out there really are in these situations and don't know when to get out of relationships that aren't doing them any good, and I enjoyed the many ways Greg and Liz chose to let these ladies know exactly what's up.

This book presents itself in eleven chapters headed "He's Just Not That Into You If..." where the ellipsis is anything from "...He's Not Asking You Out" to "He's Having Sex with Someone Else."
I felt like the entire book was a lesson in "if he's not 100% falling over himself to do everything for you every minute of every day, he's not into you, get rid of him and find someone better." It's written in a way that everything is black & white, and relationships are never black and white.
I've never been a dater, all 5 of the relationships I've been in have been long term situations. So maybe this book just doesn't speak to me in the way it would speak to others who are at the behest of the dating world.
Also - I thought this book was supposed to be humorous? I can count the number of humorous one liners on one hand, I was not amused by anything in this book. Maybe because I was too busy rolling my eyes are the ridiculousness of it all, or maybe because it just wasn't funny.
