Finally, after a few months of procastinating and dragging, I finished this book. It is a highly recommended book by most people who read it including my friends. I promised myself I would write a review after finishing this book, and here it is!

9. He's Disappeared on You
10. He's Married (Or Emotionally Unavailable)
11. He's a Selfish Jerk, a Bully, or a Really Big Freak

This is a summary I took from the Table of Contents. There are more examples and explanations after each chapter on how these rules applied. It is good to learn that there are many excuses that we accepted from guys, are sometimes just plainly unacceptable. I can relate to this book pretty well by experiences especially experiences from the discussion with my girl friends.

Dating game in this country is much harder than back home, or maybe, as we get older, it gets harder. Everyone is afraid of getting hurt. While we were young, when we go to lake or beach, we just jumped right in and have fun. As we get older, we will test to see if the water is cold, check if the water is clean, and see if there is any dangerous creature or something harmful in there before we even decide whether we want to jump in or stay out. It is sad but that's how we learned to protect ourselve and at the same time, shutting others out. Maybe most of my friends are more of an Analytical person than an Emotional person. Emotional people will tend to give it all out and live with no regrets. Analytical people, they would probably try to figure out all the goods and bads and calculating the costs and risks before they jump right in. Is it lucky to be an Analytical people? Or is it better to be an Emotional one? I think I'd rather be an Analytical people when it come to work, but be an Emotional one when it comes to love. Live life with no regrets, eh?

Overall, this is a very great book. I would highly recommend it too all my girl friends, single or not, or guys, who would like to learn what is the right way to treat girls.

After reading this book, when I heard stories from my friends and realized that those guys are just not that into them, I am still kinda hesitated to tell them. Writing this after-thoughts might help some people out there who are wondering about this book. It is actually a very helpful manual.

Time to ditch the one who is just not that into you and give a chance to find the love you deserved. All people --- Men, Woman, Gay, Straight, or otherwise -- are entitled to awesome relationships while they are enjoying their stay here on Earth. ---- Greg
