100 DATES

Modern dating is a numbers game, with limitless options only ever a swipe away, and 23% of us meeting our partners online. From only having three eligible villagers to choose from, we’re now in a virtual warehouse of singletons, spending our evenings chatting and swiping, instead of truly connecting. How is anyone supposed to find The One?

Enter psychologist Dr Angela Ahola, and her book 100 Dates. Newly single after a long relationship, Angela decided to live all of our worst fears, embarking on an experiment with herself as the test subject. Over the course of a hundred different dates, Angela used her scientific background to learn as much as she could about what makes a successful encounter – and what doesn’t.

Backed up by the latest research on personality, relationships and dating, 100 Dates is the ultimate dating handbook, including advice on everything from figuring out why you want to date through to setting up your profile and finding the right person. From the science behind a flirty exchange of GIFs, to the four best types of text, this is He’s Just Not That Into You for the modern age – as Dr Angela says, when nothing is certain, everything is possible.
