Quotes from Greg Behrendt

There are things in life you can change—your weight, your appearance, your mindset, etc.—but there is one thing you cannot change and that is other people. Try as we might, we cannot get people to love us. Even when we are the coolest best version of ourselves someone is going to say, "Not for me." But if we feel good about ourselves we can shrug it off and say, "It's just a date," and know that there will be others.

You can't fix people or make them change; the only thing you can do is pack your things and leave if it isn't working for you.

Don't spend your time on and give your heart to any guy who makes you wonder about anything related to his feelings for you.

—Greg Behrendt in He's Just Not That Into You

Cheaters are people who have a lot of stuff to work out, and they're working it out on your time and with your heart.

—Greg Behrendt in He's Just Not That Into You

You deserve to be with someone who is nice to you all the time.

—Greg Behrendt in He's Just Not That Into You

You can accept his excuses all you want, but you have to ask yourself, is this the relationship you want to be in? He may be into you, he may not, but the only thing you have to answer is, is this how you want to feel, perhaps forever?

—Greg Behrendt in He's Just Not That Into You

There's a guy out there who's going to be really happy that you didn't get back together with your crappy ex-boyfriend.

—Greg Behrendt in He's Just Not That Into You

If the guy you're dating doesn't seem to be completely into you, or you feel the need to start 'figuring him out,' please consider the glorious thought that he might just not be that into you. And then free yourself to go find someone that is.

—Greg Behrendt in He's Just Not That Into You

Deciding to get back together with someone is a complicated and difficult decision. Just remember that the person you are getting back together with is the same person who, not long before, looked you in your beautiful face, took full stock of you and all your qualities, and told you that he was no longer in need of your company.

—Greg Behrendt in He's Just Not That Into You

Don't ask yourself what you did wrong or how you could have done it differently. Don't waste your valuable heart and mind trying to figure out why he did what he did. Or thinking back on all the things he said, and wondering what was the truth and what was the lie. The only thing you need to know is that it's really good news: He's gone.

—Greg Behrendt in He's Just Not That Into You

So many of us find ourselves saying "BUT HE WAS SO GREAT!" Yes, and the people who got on the Titanic thought they were going on vacation. Things changed and it's important to remember that they did.

—Greg Behrendt in It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken

The person you loved took a good long look at the awesomeness that is you, evaluated your relationship together, and said, "No, thanks. I'll try my luck elsewhere." That alone should make you realize that it wasn't a match made in heaven.

—Greg Behrendt in It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken

Let's call cheating what it is: a complete betrayal of trust.

—Greg Behrendt in He's Just Not That Into You

The reason it's so painful when someone disappears is you have to face the fact that the person you loved had probably left you a long time before he grabbed his coat and scrammed.

—Greg Behrendt in He's Just Not That Into You

There's nothing worse, in dating terms, nothing worse, than that sick feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when it looks like the guy you were seeing or getting to know has decided to bail on you instead of talking to you about it. Nothing worse.
