Have you ever been on a bad date? Have you ever met someone off the Internet? Have you ever combined them both into a book to capitalize off your bad Internet dates? Most people can probably say yes to the first question. A smaller number would answer yes to the second. Only a select few who are courageous enough to let people laugh about their mistakes can answer yes to question three. This book is also about hope. I hope the sales from this book will cover a large part of my psychiatric care. You may hope to never go on these types of dates in your life. I hope you get as much pleasure reading this book as I had in writing it. Wait.

Scratch that. Writing is a pain, and reliving past memories of painful memories only causes more pain. So, in closing, I hope reading this book wasn't as painful as it was to write.
