Product Description

Product Description

When record-breaking adventurer Dave Cornthwaite decided to find a girlfriend by attempting to date 100 women in 100 days, the result was an emotional rollercoaster that threatened to turn his world inside out and upside-down.

He searched high and low, online and on the street. Encountering awkward embraces, inappropriate foot rubs, a girl who was the spitting image of Eddie Izzard, an embarrassing mishap with a mug of hot chocolate and an unexpected dose of heartache, Dave’s latest journey proved that even with the best of intentions, finding love can be the hardest challenge of all…

A revealing insight into the way men think and act on the dating scene, DATE is the hilariously candid story of one man’s struggle to get to the bottom of this crazy little thing called love.

Having been recommended `Date' by a colleague just prior to a Christmas largely spent on Easyjet I downloaded it to my Kindle with no great expectations, because men don't write about dating,do they? And even if they did, wouldn't it be in a swaggering, Nuts' esque manner designed to maximise the lothario reputation of the writer? I have to say that I was pretty taken aback. Having spent much of the last six years with a man who believed that sympathy was just a word placed in the dictionary between `s?*t and syphllis' and that emotional literacy was a myth created by dungaree clad primary school teachers and Guardian readers, it was something of a revelation to be reminded that there really were men out there who really were searching for `the one'. This may seem like an odd thing to say about a bloke who decided that going on 100 dates in 100 days was the best way to accomplish this goal, which seems like a somewhat mysogynistic concept to begin with. What about the poor `datees' who knew nothing of `the challenge' and who were also just scratching around the internet in hope of finding their soulmate? It is testament to the real likeability of the writer that you don't simply end up thinking him to be someone who uses genuine people as mere`material'- by the end of the book your sympathies are firmly with Cornthwaite rather than many of the plethora of women that he dates, who range from sublimely described Goddesses that he falls for to the sad, the badly dressed and the socially challenged (most of whom he is generous about, rather than overly derogatory). I won't spoil the plot, but in the end the hunter becomes the hunted,and the author's description of rejection and recovery is one of the most moving I have read in recent memory (and I teach sonnets for a living. Sometimes.). If you're bored of chick lit or fancy reminding yourself of what it is like out there in the land of first dates then this is really worth reading and great fun. Even if you are stuck on endless uncomfortable orange planes in the season of festive fun....

Witty till the end 8 Feb 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
This was the first time I bought a book without knowing much about it except for what it says on the tin: 100 dates in 100 days. The initial attraction for me is that it was seemingly a book about dating and *love* written by a man. I was intrigued, so much so that I read it in less than 3 days and cannot stop recommending it to my friends. Written with wit till the end this story of Dave's dating adventures really will bring a smile to your face!

A dating endurance adventure written by the male of the species, I envisioned humourous tales and scandals but was pleasently surprised by the reflection and the realisation that this is a book about self-discovery. This is not a guide to dating or how to understand the opposite member of the sex, but its refreshing to realise that men (some!) are actually out there looking for something more. If you feel your faith in men needs justification read this book!!!
