Of course, these weren’t exactly great meeting spots, since I worked mostly with women, and I date guys. I haven’t always been like this - before going freelance, I worked in a series of magazine offices. Except for the motivated (rather than the tired, and I guess I am both, but I’m more the latter), it is easy to just isolate behind a pair of Bose headphones and downloaded movies. The thing I remember more about this book than anything else is this, an idea introduced in sentence one of chapter one: “How many guys do you meet in an average week?”
And its success depends on volume - on meeting lots and lots of people.
Dating, Hussey says, is a product of actions - easily achievable actions.
What I love about this book is that it doesn’t spend too much time getting into anyone’s head. But first, my Get the Guy review, because it’s amazing and everyone should know about it. I hope I’ll be cooler/smarter/fitter/more successful in a year. (Slash-ennui.) Here’s the thing: Get the Guy made me so much better at meeting people, and so much more enthusiastic about relationships in general, that I started wondering: What else could I learn? And because I like a list/challenge as much as anyone, I’ve resolved to read one self-help book a week for the rest of the year. I spend a lot of time looking out windows - which I generally think is a good thing, but can devolve into entirely too much relaxation. But there are, one might say, areas for improvement: I haven’t had a boyfriend for two years. I don’t have it too bad: I like what I do, I have a solid network of friends and family, and I get to travel a lot. What he had to say was so important to me that it took me an extra hour to get there, because I kept stopping in random parking lots to take notes. Nothing - nothing - has done more to change my perspective on dating, relationships and love more than this book, which I initially listened to on Audible while driving to my family vacation in Maryland. Sounds like an exaggeration, right? It’s not. Matthew Hussey’s book “Get the Guy” changed my life.
