Dating Without Novocaine

By Lisa Cach

For twenty-nine-year-old Hannah O’Dowd, finding a decent man in Portland, Oregon, is like pulling teeth!

Luckily, the self-employed clothing designer has a job she loves and friends to help ease the pain: oversexed Cassie (always good to have the opposite perspective, Hannah notes), analytical Louise (too much perspective not always good) and an in-the-flesh tooth puller, dentist Scott (could prove useful). But as she nears the big 3-0, she begins to realise that dating frantically may truly be the only solution to finding Mr. Maybe.

So, pumped up on nothing but drive and determination, Hannah cuts loose on her romantic quest. In fact, she kisses so many frogs she fears she’ll turn green. (Note: While paling in comparison to her paralysing fear of anything dental related, acquiring froglike qualities from hanging around losers — still not good.)

And she’s only just begun!
