Why He Didn't Call You Back: 1,000 Guys Reveal What They Really Thought About You After Your Date Hardcover – April 7 2009
Purchase options and add-ons
What really happened when that cute guy never called you back after your date? Why didn’t that intriguing man you flirted with online or at the party ask you out? It’s an annoying mystery. One minute there was a potential romance happening, and the next? He vanished, inexplicably. If you knew why men reacted in these ways, you could do something about it next time when the right guy comes along.
So Rachel Greenwald did what you’re too embarrassed to do yourself. As a renowned dating coach with a Harvard MBA, she applied business savvy to the dating world by conducting in-depth "Exit Interviews" with 1,000 single men, asking them why they hadn’t called back after a date or online flirtation. By refusing to accept glib responses such as "There was just no chemistry," she extracted unabashedly honest and raw answers. It turns out that men leave women hanging for clear, consistent reasons. The Top Ten Date-Breakers–revealed here in Greenwald’s unique research–are the result of signals that women of all ages send unknowingly, but are easily fixed. Citing true anecdotes and case studies, this book examines the most frequent date-breakers that men confessed, and offers practical advice on how you can avoid them.
Greenwald’s goal isn’t for you to pretend to be someone you’re not, but rather to keep the ball in your court. By using her research results as a guide to tweak your comments and gestures, you’ll have more men asking to see you again. Then you can accept or decline their invitations: you’re doing the selecting–not them.
In today’s increasingly complex dating world, both online and offline, learning how to maximize your dates is essential. With a fresh and entertaining behind-the-scenes vantage point, Why He Didn’t Call You Back offers simple solutions that empower women to choose the men they really want to date.

First I thought not again, another women writing about men, its obvious that 99% of advice out there in books written by woman as well as columns in magazines are doing more harm than good.
She interviews men and so do others, most men lie and lie without even knowing it, they don't answer dating questions honestly especially to women and if shes hot forget it they don't know what they are saying.
So basing your life based on what men tell women = disaster, you have to watch their actions not listen to their words.
In addition most book writers are too busy making sure not to hurt someone's feeling and making sure to be politically correct and in turn it's a bunch of nonsense advice.
This author has the "I don't care" attitude and "ill say it like it is", granted this can be hurtful to many but in the long run she will turn out to be your best friend (unless you obviously think that your dating situation is so unique that nobody can give you advice).
There is a issue magazines and books never touch on, it's a very touchy issue that only men share between themselves.
In the past 15 years ive worked with 1000's of men and women, and when you hear something over and over you start noticing a pattern.
Most women if a guy sleeps with them once and never calls them the assumption is that all he wanted was a one night stand, ladies this is false, no such thing, if you did not surprise him with anything when you got naked he will call you back again and again.
The issue is most women don't understand hygiene, it's a bigger relationship killer than most think, men talk about this issue between themselves but its too nasty to talk to women, if you tell it to a girl she usually replies with "I shower 3 times a day" or "you or your friends must be dating skanks".
The shower was not intended for women, learn to take baths (unless you can stand on your hands when taking a shower or you have a good powerful hose). This is a serious issue that no one wants to touch on, summers eve is not a shower replacement.
We can look away on certain body imperfections and turning off the lights ladies can help but god still allows us to smell things when its dark.
I understand why things like this are not mentioned in books and magazines but this is the most common TRUE reason why after sex men do not call back, the next one is simply you where a lie, he expected bigger breasts or firmer butt etc but the last thing on the list is "all he wanted was a one night stand".
This is a must read book for those who are ready to really understand what it takes to find something real, its up to date with current advice not outdated things that are not valid anymore.
I have a new perspective on dating and I wish I read it years ago. It is a witty, funny and honest read. I dont think that 'exit interviews' (which she advocates) are appropriate this side of the Atlantic ocean but her experiences and interviews were more than enough to get us women thinking.Read it.
I stopped online dating five years ago and still am having lots of first dates. I am in health care and sometimes forget to "save a bit for next time we meet" In my medical world, insurance gives affords me very limited time to diagnose, problem solve and go on to save the world and we have to gather information quickly and accurately. In the dating world, it is different.
We should remember to slow down and get to know people. Taking the good with the bad. No one is perfect, they just have to be perfect for you. In the digital age, we are used to " more, better and faster" In our personal lives, communicating with real live people, we have to remember to slow down and enjoy the ride. I will recommend this book to all of my friends. At my age, 40, my friends and I are thinking with our heads first and with our hearts second. We tend to overthink things and overanalyze. Gone are the days we just felt love and went with it. Great book, Could have been written about me.
I read this book and then put it into practice with a guy I'd met online and went out with for the first time last week. Upon first seeing him, instantly I knew I wasn't going to feel a love connection, but I thought, heck, this is good practice for someone I would like to see again, so I put what I read into action.
I didn't lead him on, I haven't said anything about catching up again, calling him again, or "see you soon." But, I did tell him thank you for dinner and that I'd had a nice night.
Not only has he called, but he's texted me, and emailed me to ask me out again on two different occasions. Hmmmm..... maybe this book works a little too well!!
