As the excerpt from Chapter One clearly communicates, Greg and Liz are here to tell you how it is, not how you wish it could be. “I see too many dynamic women with outstanding careers who continue to date losers,” exclaims Greg. “If you can get your act together in the corporate world, clearly you can do it in love too.”
Liz hopes the book helps women get out of bad relationship situations. “All these years, women have been willing to settle for so little and men have been able to get sloppy in their behavior,” divulges Liz. “Hopefully men will become more self-conscious about their actions. If not, at least women can stop hanging onto bad boyfriends, making excuses for relationships that just aren’t there.”
Reaction to the Book
“He’s Just Not That Into You” has inspired countless women to take action. According to Liz, “women who read the book have been known to grab their cell phone and delete half the numbers in there! Others have found the strength to end a long term relationship or finally move on after a difficult breakup.”
Other readers thank Greg and Liz for providing clarity. One reader recently told Greg, “after years of making excuses for my man I now know what it looks like when he’s truly into me and how to recognize a healthy relationship.”
Even men are taking lessons from advice in the book. Greg’s sister overheard a guy say, “dude, she thinks I’m just not that into her, I’m going to have to step it up.” In other words, guys can’t let laziness or excuses get in the way of communicating their real feelings if they do in fact want to pursue a serious relationship.
What’s Next for the Authors
Greg’s first passion is stand-up comedy and he plans to continue performing regularly. He’s also penning another book, this time with his wife. “We’re writing the ultimate breakup companion for men and women. It will be a two-sided book teaching readers how to go through a breakup and still keep their life together,” explains Greg. “There’s no reason to lose your job and ruin your friendships just because a relationship ends.”
As for Liz, she plans to take a break from book writing. “I’m a TV and film writer first, and I’m not sure there’s anything else women need to hear from me right now in a book,” reveals Liz. “Until then, I’m still actively dating in Manhattan but have become an expert in identifying bad relationships right away.”
