Beskrivelse
At 47 years of age Simon finds himself single after his marriage ends. He's looking for a partner and embarks on internet dating; "mates dates," signs up for an Introduction Agency, goes speed dating, tries organised dinner dating and uses a dedicated match-making service. He avoids his first Christmas alone by booking a single travellers trip to Venice. Misguidedly he pursues an appealing though hopeless 'blind date', a married lady who claims single status, a delightful but sexually disorientated secretary and a rural schoolteacher with a penchant for auto-eroticism, amongst others. His experiences are chronicled in "Dating.com." A fast paced, light hearted account of what can actually happen when a marriage ends and a quest for love begins in mid-life. Simon experiments with internet profiling; what to wear to organised events (and what not to); how to stay safe on entering the 'field' when newly single and learns the lesson that dates are not always what they seem. An uplifting, often hilarious read, whether you're a man or a woman, you'll laugh out loud, squirm and be entertained as Simon stumbles from one dating disaster to another. This is a life affirming, entertaining read with adult content (Simon tells it as it happened) and a cautionary tale, Simon has been described as a male Bridget Jones whose enthusiasm and urgency to find a partner lead him to pursue an array of women most of whom have little reciprocal interest in a long term relationship with him. When he ultimately finds the right woman, his fortunes take an unexpected turn....
