I Hate to Date (Online) by MaryAnna Donovan is an outrageous, hilarious, and shocking view of the world of online dating from the perspective of someone who has tried it, dated through it, and hated it. She regales the reader with stories of amazing online (and other) surprising, terrifying, and hysterical encounters. Is online dating the twenty-first century answer to romance and courtship? Are traditional mores just fodder for Jane Austen and Nora Roberts? Donovan hopes not, and offers a strong case within these pages. Despite all the praise for online dating, and rumors of countless hookups, and marriages, Donovan writes

I heard all these people singing the praises of online dating, how they met husbands, wives, lovers, had fabulous dates, great sex, and amazing fun. Well, you know what? I didn’t – I didn’t have fabulous dates, forget great sex, and who said they were having fun? I hated it; everything about it. So I thought, I have to tell some other people about this and see if I might have some fellow brethren or whether I am just plain crazy. I was also hesitant because as you will see here, my views are not tempered in ambiguity – not one bit.

Now you may be wondering, who the heck is this woman and what credentials does she have in writing this book? Married three times, she has been an online dater on and off for 5 years. And despite her rather strong (ahem) views, her current “person” is a man she met online.

Donovan has also been college professor for 10 years, teaching writing and literature courses, and meeting scores of mostly young people through this work. She has a strong intuition about people – what motivates them, makes them tick, and what they’re about.
