Read the opening

From chapter 1, "Landlines". Every guide is written like a story, with real research behind it.

Thursday, 9:10pm. The Car Park Sessions. Wale arrives in a suit he clearly bought for a wedding in 2011.

Wale was forty-six, a civil servant, tall, with grey at his temples and the look of a man who had not slept well for a year. His divorce had been finalised six months ago. His two teenage children lived with him every other week.

"Eighteen years," he said. "Eighteen years married. The last time I asked a woman out, I called her house phone and her father answered. Now my colleague says I need 'an app.' I downloaded it. It asked me to 'swipe.' I closed it and sat in the dark."

The car park was quiet. Several men had been through divorce. They nodded.

"I do not even know if I am ready," Wale said. "Some days I feel fine. Some days I miss my old life so much it hurts. And the thought of being... intimate with someone new terrifies me."

JideWale is newly divorced. 46. Terrified of dating apps.
AmaraOh, poor man. Is he ready?
JideHe does not know.
AmaraThen that is chapter one. Not the app. The readiness.
JideAgreed.
