Not yet published
Expected 29 Sep 26A modern guide to dating safely, protecting your heart and embracing independence.
The online dating world isn't for the faint of heart. From shady suitors to copy-paste convos - it's easy to end up with more tears than matches! A modern woman could use a bit of guidance - and dating expert and founder of Bad Dates of Melbourne Alita Brydon is here to help.
Whether you're new to dating or a seasoned looker-for-love, Alita has tips for safely navigating the dating app jungle and to empower you to be, not just another lonely heart, but a Dangerous Woman.
So what exactly is a Dangerous Woman?
A Dangerous Woman is open to love and knows how to find romance - but won't trade her happiness for a ring. A Dangerous Woman knows how to make her life rich with hobbies, friends and adventure - there's more to life than locking down a babe! A Dangerous Woman feels good about her body - including the chicken nugget chub - and won't trade her self-worth for an Instagram-filtered fantasy. A Dangerous Woman is dangerous because she's prepared to challenge the structures and traditions in society that don't serve her. This is a book for the younger woman familiar with modern dating tools and for the older woman, who might feel uncertain, even overwhelmed, returning to a very different dating world. With Alita's game changing two-stage plan, you'll be able to rock dating, unsquish your heart and fall head over heels in love with yourself. Are you ready to unleash the feisty femme within?
"What a treat! Superb advice for real women, living in the real world. This book will make you grateful for wherever you are in the dating game. If you feel like you’re looking for a ‘needle in a haystack’, this book will help you set it alight – and remind you that needles don’t burn." - Chrissie Swan, media personality
"Alita has written an exuberant, joyful guide to living your very best life, no matter what (or who!) it dishes up. We all need a bit of Alita in our lives. Her positivity, wit and BDOM wisdom will give every single reader (and those not so single!) a boost." - Kerri Sackville, author and columnist

Loved this so much. Should be required reading for blokes! It’s written with real heart and is also superbly, wonderfully funny.
