It was really cool. He never called me! And you know what? Normally I would call our mutual friends and start fishing and trying to figure out what happened and maybe try to find another way to see him again. Who cares what his deal is. Not one of their relationships started with the woman asking them out first. An excuse is a polite rejection.
If you can find him, then he can find you. If he wants to find you, he will. Some traditions are born of nature and last through time for a reason. Even if you live in New York. So put down the phone. You are good enough to be asked out. Our chapters will all be so brave and wise that we want to make sure you retain as much of the brilliance as you can. So for all of you who feel the need to get out of your problems and into your crayon box, have at it. Love, Greg and Liz Remember in grade school how they told you not to write in your textbooks?
Screw that! Grab a pen and list five reasons why you think you have every right or good reason to call him. Put the book aside and wait an hour. Or at least ten minutes. Then ask yourself: Do I seem pathetic? Yes, you do! Now put your dialing finger away, get out of the house, and go find some fun. Why would you want to chase that down? About The Authors.

He felt like he was sitting on so much knowledge, that could help clueless poor women, that he decided to write a book and share his wisdom with the world.
The reason I picked up this book, was because I wanted to read funny stories about dating. And this book had plenty of those. But my god did it stank bullshit. The book is written from two peoples point of view, Greg, who wastes no time giving advice "dump him", and Liz, who's job is to point out the grey areas in relationships.
Unlike Greg, she believes that not everything is black and white, that some relationship are more complicated.
At first I thought it was interesting, that she was questioning his relationship advice, trying to point out that not all men are pigs, with hidden agendas, mommy issues, secretly set on using and abusing all women in their paths, because someone, at some point in their lives did them wrong.
You read halfway into her argument and think "This Liz chick is onto something. Let me give you some examples. Greg believes that a woman should never approach a man first. That there is nothing wrong with that. Greg aka self proclaimed Love Guru, takes her's "there is nothing wrong with that" and raises her with "Do you really want a man who is so lazy that he doesn't even bother to talk to you?
Imagine having a relationship with such jewel. Yeah, some men might be intimidated by powerful women, but if he is really into you, he will get off his lazy ass and approach you.
Because there is no other explanation why a man would not approach a woman first, other than he's lazy, or likes things being handed to him. Ladies, assume your submissive positions and wait for the Prince Charming to make his move. Also, the use of word "we" annoyed me to no end. When Greg talked about men, he always used "we men" like he was talking on behalf of all male species. We love the chase.
We are made this way. That's who we are. That's how we do things. So what that my mother had a stroke. If I was into you, I would call and tell you about it right away. If I haven't, I'm just not into you. It's that simple. Although we would like you to think we are. Don't even get me started on the part where Greg explains to the ladies that is 4 A.
Or the part where he talks about marriage. That if a man is really into you, he will want to marry you one day. If he's not asking, something is wrong. It is one thing when a woman wants that, but to say that if he's really into you, he will want to marry you.
Yeah you've been together for a long time, he's committed to you in every way, the relationship is great, but if he says he doesn't want to get married, READ FLAG! What the fuck was this woman doing not bringing this up in the early stages of their relationship??? Oh, wait, we're suppose to wait til the man makes the first move. Then you have: men find very satisfying to get what they want. That's why women should stay put and wait for things to happen, because we do not.
Then there is "friends to lovers" thing. According to Greg, if a man is interested in being more than a friend to you here he talked about going from long time friendship to romantic relationship , he will always, ALWAYS, want to take relationship further. Because, you know, men find it very satisfying to get what they want and all that.
Because they don't have the ability to foresee the consequences that could lead to ruining the friendship. AND, because they don't care about that anyway, at least not enough to think for a second if anything good will come out of it. Then there is the part where a man will find a way to get ahold of you even if you didn't give him your phone number. If he's really into you that is. Ah, E. James would be truly proud. And this is not even halfway through the book! I could rant about it all day.
The bottom line of this book is: yeah, you are a big deal, successful and well accomplished, beatiful and interesting, but stay tight, if a guy is truly interested in you, he'll find you. The only time the importants of communication was mentioned, it was fallowed by "but.. Regardless of what she thought, the Greg ended up being right. His advice and wisdom is gold, according to her. The book ended with her saying she feels lonely sometimes, it sucks being single, but it's better to be single than being in a bad relationship.
Which is true. But Liz is staying put, at the age of 41 this book was written a while back, she should be 51 now , without approaching men herself, successfully dating in NY I think. This book had its funny moments, but I really hope that no one, who bought this book, took Greg's advice to heart. Otherwise we will never get rid of Stone Age mentality. Fun read! I agree with almost everything said. XD cinta itu seperti catur.
Seorang pria tidak benar-benar mencintai anda kalau dia tidak mau menikahi anda atau dia berselingkuh". Wanita sering mengalami kebimbangan untuk mengetahui perasaan pria terhadapnya. Kedekatan, kebersemaan, flirting, kata-kata basi, gombal, perhatian, etc. Tapi setelah beberapa waktu tidak juga ada kepastian. Hubungan Tanpa Status. Teman Tapi Mesra. Pertanyaan itu muncul bertubi "cintakah dia padaku? Dalam buku ini, Greg menuliskan jawabannya dari sudut pandang pria.
Jawaban yang terus terang, apa adanya hingga kadang menyakitkan. Kebenaran memang terkadang menyakitkan. Tapi itu jauh lebih baik daripada terjebak dalam jutaan dalih, Gede Rasa GR , alasan, prasangka yang ujung-ujungnya menjadi ketidakpastian. Karena sudah jadi kebiasaan buruk kaum wanita untuk mudah tersanjung dan gede rasa kalau ada seorang pria yang memperhatikannya.
Lantas mulai menanam prasangka, dalih dan sejuta dalih lainnya. Menurutnya, pria itu simple. Dalih-dalih terlalu sibuk, tidak ingin merusak persahabatan, tidak ingin menyakiti, belum siap, kamu adalah wanita terbaik yang pernah ia kenal, etc itu hanyalah kalimat lain dari "he is just not that into you".
