Suzanne Schlosberg's friends dubbed her the Cal Ripken of celibacy. Given the common belief among single women that all the good men are either married or gay, Suzanne's predicament is hardly extraordinary, but what she does to end the streak makes for a hilarious tale.

Suzanne hits bottom when her younger sister gets engaged, leaving her less than a year to find a date for the wedding. She shifts into overdrive, experimenting with Internet dating, speed dating, and other bizarre 21st century match-making rituals. But after enduring every indignity of singlehood, she ultimately learns to ask herself: Does she really need a man to find happiness?

Fitness and humor writer Suzanne Schlosberg has written or co-written seven books, including The Curse of the Singles Table and The Ultimate Workout Log. Her work has appeared in such publications as Real Simple, Shape, Backpacker, Brides, Fitness, Health, and others, as well as in several anthologies. She lives in Oregon.
