he's just not that into you

i read the book of that title and it was actually pretty funny. i'm not usually into so-called "self-help" books (as in, i avoid them like i avoid actual relationships) but this was fun and a tiny bit liberating. written by two of the writers on sex in the city (a show i've never watched but i hear it's about sex and a city), it takes many of the issues women pine over and the excuses men make for them and boils it down to "he's just not that into you." i recommend it to both women and men. to women because it explains some of the reasons men don't call (just not that into you) or won't commit (once again), etc., and to men so you know what you may be up against.
unfortunately, they never address what one should do when he is that into you and you really, really don't want him to be. luckily, i haven't talked to tim since i asked him to bugger off. not for his lack of trying. apparently "this isn't going to work" was heard as "i love you, too! let's be together forever!"
anywho, check the book out from your local library. it's a quick read.
