Description

"What you are about to read is frequently salty, occasionally convoluted, and in all ways, very personal. These true and sometimes ribald tales did actually occur during my online dating dabble between wife number two and wife number three…”

Neither a primer on online dating, nor a gender-biased lament on love gone wrong, David H. Mathews’ memoir, Lemons and Lemonade explores the connections and disconnections he made while searching the .com world for romance.

After subscribing to a dating site, David struggles to concoct a suitably provocative profile, stumbles and falls with several mismatched matches, then finally connects with, and promptly marries Clare, the love of his life. Actual email exchanges chronicle their blurringly fast courtship.

David shares his honest-to-God interactions with honest-to-God women in the voice of a plain-speaking Indiana farm boy who spent his youth playing basketball, fondling cheerleaders, baling hay, and shoveling manure.

Advance Praise

"David Mathews’ memoir, Lemons and Lemonade: My Midlife Dabble in Online Romance, is entertainment to be enjoyed by both men and women. Mathews does not shirk his responsibility to provide a full accounting in this story of what could possibly go wrong with online dating. The women methodically selected for Mathews’ consideration fit no standard mold. Personalities and characteristics vary, one to the next. Into Mathews’ life is squeezed a bit of humor, high-jinx, unadulterated reality, bad luck waning toward no luck, only to rebound with hope, passion, and, most of all, perseverance. The relationships with his matches are vividly portrayed in his quest for an ever-after stocked with a woman to love, companionship, and happiness." —Connie Chappell, author of Wild Raspberries and Deadly Homecoming at Rosemont

"An insightful, witty and engaging memoir of the search for a partner in the twenty-first century with all of its advantages and complications. The reader vicariously experiences many titillating and sometimes scary encounters, always entertaining, on the way to finding true love. A truly great read." --Byron Brumbaugh, author of The Devil’s Vial
