From reviewers:
Mark Allister offers his readers honest and often lovely accounts of his online dating experiences. The book will interest not only singles who find themselves back on the dating circuit in middle age, but those of us who are happily coupled but curious about those who aren't. This is not exactly a how-to book, but many will find it both comforting and eye-opening. -- Jim Heynen
Dated is not a GPS for singles. It is more akin to fireside talk with a pioneer who has just stepped out of the dark forest. A series of vignettes that collectively provide a feel for the terrain, seasoned with a few specific traveler’s warnings, the book leaves the reader caring about the joys and sorrows of the people involved. – Steve Aguilu
Allister’s Dated experiences and prose have thoughtfully toured the private places of the male heart and psyche; few are brave enough for such tender, yet terrifying, destinations. – Gemey Patterson
From readers:
"What a great book; I've never read anything like it. I hope it will be discovered and sell thousands and thousands of copies! It has the qualities of a classic -- I'm thinking of honesty, truthfulness, wisdom, universality of feelings, interesting tidbits of parallel observations, and an overall feeling at the end that it encapsules a lot of wisdom about a life journey." -- Loren
"Although putting my thoughts on paper (or email), will in no way
compare to the eloquence of your writing, I simply want to convey my
admiration, awe, and applause for your poetically beautiful Dated.
You will probably never know how deeply it has touched me. You are
simply a phenomenal artist of the written word. Please accept my most
sincere best wishes for a wonderful future." -- Best, Victoria
