Lookin' for Luv (Paperback, New edition)

Can Four Male Friends Find Love - and a Decent Meal - in New York City? As funny as it gets, Lookin' for Luv tells it like it is about modern phone romance, where every call is a chance to lose your mind - or find your perfect soul mate. Carl Weber considers the pitfalls of searching for love from the male perspective of a quartet of co-workers at a New York high school. When Kevin, a sports coach who blew his chance to become a basketball star, tells Antoine, an English teacher and poet, and Tyrone, an ex-gang member turned security guard, about a phone dating service he's joined, his friends make fun of him, but the laugh is on them when they see Kevin's gorgeous date. As a result, Tyrone, a self-described 'player' looking for some hot action gives it a try, as does Antoine who seeks someone to share his poetry. Even the unsavoury headmaster gets in on the act after finding the dating service phone number on the gym floor. Each man grows through his encounters with women, and Weber goes beyond the usual dating cliches in this riotously funny, affectionate and stirring romance aimed at convincing readers that although the road to true love is rocky, its still worth travelling.
