Not really feeling Italian.

Okay — the wine bar on the corner?

Honestly I don’t mind at all! You pick.

The premise

You are not bad
at dating.

You are doing four or five small things that quietly cost you the evening — and nobody has ever told you, because the person across the table just says “this was fun” and goes home.

This book tells you. Backwards. Each chapter hands you the perfect method for destruction, in loving detail, then ruins your fun by explaining what works better.

Nobody has ever fallen in love with a bio.

What you get

Two books.
Two disasters.

63 pages, fourteen chapters, illustrated throughout. The performance problem — profiles, planning, phones, silences, and the goodbye nobody plans.

Cover of How to Ruin a Second Date

How to Ruin a Second Date

57 pages, twelve chapters. The pace problem — what happens when the audition ends and you either stop trying or sprint.

They said they dislike olives. You began preparing your closing argument.

Questions

Reasonable
concerns.

Is this actually a joke book or actually useful?

Both, on purpose. Every chapter describes the sabotage in loving detail, then tells you what tends to work better. You will laugh and then quietly change one thing.

What do I get?

Two PDFs — 63 pages and 57 pages. Instant download, no app, no account. Read them on a phone, a laptop, or print them.

Will this work if I am shy or new to dating?

Yes, and it is written not to make fun of you. The humour targets recognisable behaviour, never nervous people.

Is it for men or for women?

Neither, specifically. Gender-neutral throughout, no traditional-roles nonsense, no pickup-artist language.

What if I hate it?

Then you have a very colourful PDF and a story. It is a low-stakes purchase by design.

You already know
how to ruin it.

This is the part where you stop.
