Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Touting a grouchy Chihuahua in a bag on the first date. Showing up in a pink suit and insisting on being called "Flash." If you ever thought you had a doozy of a date, wait until you get a load of America's Dumbest Dates, the ultimate collection of terrifying trysts. What, for example, would you say to a man who just told you he isn't really divorced, he has herpes, and he's had a vasectomy, then asks, "Now, tell me about you"? With more than 500 true accounts, this bevy of unbelievably bad blunders is a comfort for anyone who has been subjected to the world of dating. --Rebekah Warren

My fiancee and I have read these little date anecdotes out loud to each other and have constantly burst out laughing. It's even funnier thinking that we both experienced some of these goofy dates ourselves!

This book has short, funny tales of weird dates. Each is a few sentences on a single page, so easy to read compared to the several page ones in Dates From Hell. And this is useful, reading this in public, sitting alone, I've had single ladies approach - "you just looked cute sitting alone reading a book about dating". So I've reread this many times in public...LOL
