Labor of Love: The Invention of Dating by Weigel Moira Weigel [Paperback]

Description: It seems as though every week there's a new app available on your smartphone promising dates aplenty-just swipe right. A mate, on the other hand, is becoming harder and harder to find. The age-old quest for true love requires more effort than ever before. Let's face it: Dating is work. Which, as it happens, is exactly where it began, in the nineteenth century-as prostitution. In Labor of Love, Moira Weigel dives into the secret history of dating while holding up a mirror to the contemporary dating landscape, revealing why we date the way we do and explaining why it feels so much like work. This isn't a guide to "getting the guy"; there are no ridiculous "rules" to follow in Labor of Love. This is a brilliant, fresh, and utterly original approach to help us understand how dating was invented and, hopefully, to lead us closer to the happy ending that it promises.
