One man's odyssey through a sea of lonely hearts

Paul Reizin is living proof that it is possible to find happiness through the lonely hearts column in a newspaper. So is his wife. And their baby.

Date Expectations tells the hilarious true story of some of the most disastrous dates in the history of courtship, as Paul sets out on an increasingly fraught quest to leave singledom behind ... These include the date with the psycho hippy nutter; the date who didn't turn up; the world's shortest date; and the date with a face like a bag of spanners.

Learn to interpret the secret language of the lonely hearts columns (e.g. 'bubbly' = fat). Learn how to read between the lines of a recorded message - fine tune your radar for those tell-tale references to cats and anger-management classes. And much, much more ... Remember - blind dating is like life. By the time you've learned how to do it properly, you no longer need to . . .
