Description

Sean Thomas was single, thirty-seven, and just "a tiny bit desperate" to meet the woman of his dreams, when he was asked by a men’s magazine to try Internet dating. Millions of Women Are Waiting to Meet You tells the painfully funny story of what happened next. A gloriously indiscreet diary of the dates, good and bad, it tells of how Thomas was obliged to look at his past checkered love life and lays bare his answers to questions about his own sexual history, and male sexuality in general: Why are so many men fascinated by lesbians? What was so great about pantyhose? And what was it like to have sex with someone really famous? This book tells the story of many men, and maybe some women, too. It will appeal to any woman who wants to know what men really think about sex and romance, and to any man who has ever taken honest stock of his past and present relationships with the fairer sex.

Praise for Millions of Women are Waiting to Meet You

"I can't remember reading a book that's made me laugh out loud as much as this one. Thomas must be extraordinarily brave to reveal so much about his personal life, and this book truly ups the stakes for the male confessional genre."
—Independent

"Compulsive . . . eye-poppingly candid . . . and also very funny . . . If you've ever wondered why the date you thought you got on with wonderfully never called, you need to read this book."
—India Knight, Times (London)

"A disarmingly frank stagger 'across the disco floor of life'"
—Evening Standard

"Bridget Jones meets Men Behaving Badly."
—Spectator

Opening Lines (Experimental)

How do you propose? I mean, what is the best way to propose? What's the right stage in a relationship to do it? Why, how, who? Where? Hello?
