Description
A good date can be exhilarating: a shared joke, an improbable spark, long moments of gazing fondly into each other's eyes. Not so for the dating disasters featured in this collection of hilarious, real tweets about the most terrible evenings imaginable. From seriously unwelcome confessions, to dousing dates in wine, to bringing them back to creepy apartments to meet favourite stuffed animals, these alarming reports from dating's front lines are absolutely cringe-worthy and laugh-out-loud funny. Along the way, author Rhodri Marsden offers tips on how to identify and avoid the worst of the bad daters, including married men, blatant liars, obsessive stalkers, deluded optimists and more. This hilariously harrowing collection of real nightmare dates will amuse anyone who's suffered through one of cupid's off nights.
