Single, White Cave Man

Jim Rosso was anticipating a lonely millennium...So begins the funny and heart-wrenching tale of Jim Rosso, a 38-year-old suburban, divorcé, who finds himself alone, uncoupled and dating for the first time since college.The only woman who appeals to him is Rita Dine, but shes married to his best friend, Charles. Charles reminds Rosso that he met the beautiful, brainy and compassionate Rita through Smartheart, a dating service for Ivy League graduates. After a series of dates-from-hell, the gun-shy Rosso seeks love in earnest. If Smartheart can produce a single woman of Rita's caliber, Rosso decides its worth a shot. Every month, Smartheart sends him a new crop of womens bios--some fetching and romantic, others certifiably insane, but always entertaining. To email or to chat on-line? To meet or simply phone? Tentative at first, Rosso signs on for this dizzying ride through the underworld of dating. When things get complicated, the secret lives of those he thinks he knows best unravel before him. The perfect novel for anyone who has ever spent Saturday nights howling at the moon, looking for a mate. From the Publisher: It is rare to find a book about modern dating from a male point-of-view. Single, White, Cave Man is a modern fairy tale about navigating the online dating world in a quest to find a princess to love and cherish. As with all fairy-tales there is a price to be paid first. Our hero must differentiate the frogs in disguise--some with deadly poison in their sensuous bites--to find the real princess. You will laugh wryly at the reality of modern dating, cry at the pain of betrayal, and root for the hero to persevere and find love again.
