With match-making friends, speed-dating, Internet dating and chance encounters thrown into the mix, Stephen finds that the search for love can be more complicated and confusing than he had ever imagined. Dated is a witty, perceptive, sometimes cynical but always optimistic tale of love, lust and the male perspective on dating & relationships.
I loved this book! Not only is it an insightful glimpse into a man’s view of love, sex and dating, the pages are infused with so much laugh-out-loud sarcastic humor, you just can’t put it down.
Stephen, has been divorced for a couple of years and is tired of the bed hopping scene. It’s time for him to find a woman he can commit to in a stable relationship. The only caveat is that he does not ever want to have kids – not any, not under any circumstances. The issue is a deal breaker. But how to find the right woman with a like mindset?
With the help of his no-holds-barred, tell-it-like-it-is, female best friend, he tries his hand at blind dates, speed dating, and internet dating interspersed with a casual pick-up. Most situations are disastrous and all are hysterically funny. One woman convinces him to try a “thought” experiment where he spends a day playing with a friend’s toddlers. The results made me laugh so hard, I thought I’d pee my pants!
If you want to find out if he ever meets the woman he’s searching for, you’ll have to read the book. But be prepared to laugh your head off!
