Book description
'There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must
be offered: entertainment, food and affection. It is customary to
begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate
amount of food and the mere suggestion of affection. As the amount of
affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionally.
When the affection is the entertainment, we no longer call it dating.'

In Not Tonight, Mr Right, Kate Taylor teaches modern women
how, why and when not to have sex. OK, it doesn't sound very
liberated, but it is very empowering . . . well, it's mainly just
hilarious, but does make a lot of sense too.

wished you knew the perfect moment to shag?
