About this listen

Ever wondered what online dating is really like after 50? Spoiler: It’s not all swiping left on awkward selfies and swiping right on people who list "travel" as their only hobby. In Flirting with Fate: A Dating Odyssey, you'll join one man’s hilarious, sometimes painful, but ultimately enlightening journey into the world of digital romance.

With wit, honesty, and a touch of self-deprecation, this book takes you behind the scenes of modern dating—where every profile picture is a potential disaster, every conversation feels like a high-stakes job interview, and every date has the potential for either a breakthrough connection or a total disaster (sometimes both in one evening).

Whether it's the accidental double-message, the cringe-worthy first date, or the confusing art of crafting the perfect profile, Flirting with Fate is a laugh-out-loud guide that reveals the highs, lows, and everything in between when searching for love (or something like it) later in life.

Packed with laughable moments, dating dilemmas, and surprisingly thoughtful insights, this is a must-listen for anyone who’s ventured into online dating at a later stage in life—or anyone who’s ever wondered what happens when you mix a mid-life crisis with a series of bad dates and a lot of questionable emojis.

Forget swiping through life; sometimes, the real connections come when we embrace the chaos, the comedy, and—yes—the occasional awkward silence.
