"The author has done some research on bereaved men... [that] confirmed his impression that widowers typically revert to seeing themselves as eligible young bachelors. They tend to approach dating with the same mindset they had decades earlier."

In Dating, Dave Williamson often "sketches a world that elicits the smile or even the giggle of recognition."-- Literary Reveiw of Canada

"Smart, funny, and at times poignant, Dating is part love story, part social history, part coming-of-age novel....clever, touching, and always hilarious. Jenkins's voice stayed with me long after I'd finished."

"A comic look at a generation grappling with aging bodies and young hearts"

Dating is "inventive" and holds "surprises -- right to the very last page."With its references to the Chocolate Shop, the Highwayman restaurant, the Ivanhoe and other local institutions, Dating will have a special attractiveness for older, nostalgic Winnipeg readers."

Do you remember what it was like when you were first dating? Chances are you (like me) were in your teens -- unsure, hesitant and excited all at the same time. Well imagine going through that decades later. The emotions might be the same, but the physicality of the situation will have no doubt changed, over time.
