My Twelve Dates:Online Dating

Online Dating in times of Coronavirus. In her book My Twelve Dates, the former late-night talkshow producer and winner of the Adolf Grimme Award chats light-heartedly about her online dating experiences as a 40-something single woman, but she also talks about her professional life. In the first part of the book, one chapter is dedicated to each of the 12 dates, and Corinna Busch takes the opportunity to slip in some entertaining anecdotes about celebrities she has worked with over the past 20 years. Theres plenty to laugh about. In the more reflective second part of the book, Corinna consults psychologists about issues that have preoccupied her for many years: Why are dating sites so successful today? Is online dating a playground for narcissists? Cant we find love offline anymore? What can be said about the emotional well-being of society in general? Is the generation of war grandchildren unable to commit to relationships? In interviews with psychologists Dr Marie-France Hirigoyen and Professor Franz Ruppert, among others, she makes some enlightening and interesting discoveries. A book that takes a closer look at the phenomenon of online dating.
