Rebecca K. Maddox is 30 years old. After many years as a single Christian woman, she embarked on a dating experiment: to go on twenty first dates, with twenty men, met in twenty different ways. Over the course of a year, Rebecca was very nearly compromised on the dance floor, stranded in a muddy village and the catcher of a bouquet. She spent hours trawling profiles on the Internet and waited nervously for the results.

She narrowly escaped a squirting tiger and a falling pigeon, attempted to eat a variety of foodstuffs while trying to look attractive, and struggled in and out of her glad rags in the toilets of approximately ten trains to London. She was confused, amused, frustrated and dazzled in equal measure.
