They trust each other with their lives; now they've got to trust each other with their <em>love</em> lives. Ruby, Louisa and guy friend Martin do the desperate deed and pen personal ads, sort replies and plan dates -- for each other.    <p><strong>Friends don't let friends settle . . .</strong>    <p>Which is why Martin won't let Ruby make her usual mistake of being a just-divorced egomaniac's &quot;transitional lay,&quot; Lou is mad to match Martin with a girl with a brain and Ruby is determined to find the blond stranger who captured Lou's eye on the underground one morning.    <p>A hilarious triple blind date at the same restaurant results in one split check, one spark-filled encounter and one very distraught young man handcuffed to a towel rack. But to find true love, the friends realize they've really got to broaden their horizons without losing sight of what's in front of them.</p></p></p></p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Three's a crowd -- or is it?</strong>    <p>A trio of pals who, on their own, have utterly lost the dating game, decide to team up. They trust each other with their lives; now they've got to trust each other with their <em>love</em> lives. Ruby, Louisa and guy friend Martin do the desperate deed and pen personal ads, sort replies and plan dates -- for each other.    <p><strong>Friends don't let friends settle . . .</strong>    <p>Which is why Martin won't let Ruby make her usual mistake of being a just-divorced egomaniac's &quot;transitional lay,&quot; Lou is mad to match Martin with a girl with a brain and Ruby is determined to find the blond stranger who captured Lou's eye on the underground one morning.    <p>A hilarious triple blind date at the same restaurant results in one split check, one spark-filled encounter and one very distraught young man handcuffed to a towel rack. But to find true love, the friends realize they've really got to broaden their horizons without losing sight of what's in front of them.</p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Three's a crowd -- or is it?</strong>    <p>A trio of pals who, on their own, have utterly lost the dating game, decide to team up. They trust each other with their lives; now they've got to trust each other with their <em>love</em> lives. Ruby, Louisa and guy friend Martin do the desperate deed and pen personal ads, sort replies and plan dates -- for each other.    <p><strong>Friends don't let friends settle . . .</strong>    <p>Which is why Martin won't let Ruby make her usual mistake of being a just-divorced egomaniac's &quot;transitional lay,&quot; Lou is mad to match Martin with a girl with a brain and Ruby is determined to find the blond stranger who captured Lou's eye on the underground one morning.    <p>A hilarious triple blind date at the same restaurant results in one split check, one spark-filled encounter and one very distraught young man handcuffed to a towel rack. But to find true love, the friends realize they've really got to broaden their horizons without losing sight of what's in front of them.</p></p></p></p>]]>
