Spotted while shopping
Published by Allison June 29th, 2006 in Amuse Me, DatingWe went grocery shopping this evening, and as we waited to check out, I indulged in the guilty pleasure of scanning the tabloid covers. Just after I rolled my eyes at the booklet Astrology for your Cat (really, it was on the end of the aisle, complete with an adorable Himalaya gazing out from the cover), I saw this book, and nearly lost it laughing:

I shouldn’t be surprised, really. I’ve had dates with men who were newly single after a long relationship or marriage who were bewildered by the whole online dating scene. When we didn’t “click” dating-wise, it always seemed I fell into tutor role, helping them know what common mistakes to avoid.
But still…seriously?

The least they could do is include a fake book jacket so you could keep it on your shelf or, God forbid, read it on the subway without looking like a complete loser. I think there’s money to be made in the “Fake Book Jackets for Dummies” business, complete with a synopsis on the inside jacket in case anyone asks what you’re reading.
