ABOUT THE BOOK

Why This Dating Disaster Needed to Be Written

This book was born out of years of awkward crushes, disastrous first dates, and moments that felt mortifying at the time — but hilarious in hindsight.

Author C. C. Blooms created My Not So Brilliant Dating Career to capture the reality of dating that rarely makes it into movies: the cringe, the confusion, the misplaced hope, and the strange comfort of knowing you’re not alone. Told through witty reflections and playful email exchanges with a best friend, the book explores what happens when romance doesn’t go to plan — and why that’s actually okay. It’s not a guide to finding “the one.” It’s a celebration of surviving the search.

THE APPROACH

Laugh First, Reflect Later

This memoir takes a refreshingly honest approach to modern dating — one rooted in humour, vulnerability, and self-awareness rather than perfection.

Instead of pretending every experience leads to a fairytale ending, My Not So Brilliant Dating Career embraces the awkward pauses, bad decisions, and “what was I thinking?” moments that make dating real.

The goal isn’t to impress — it’s to connect.

Radical Relatability

Every story is written to feel familiar. If you’ve ever replayed a date in your head at 2 a.m., questioned your life choices, or laughed through the pain with friends — you’ll see yourself in these pages.

Humour with Heart

Behind every laugh is a moment of truth. The book balances comedy with reflection, showing how even the most cringe-worthy experiences can lead to self-acceptance, growth, and a damn good story.
