Sarah Kanowski

I had a great social life.

I'm extremely close to my brother and my sister-in-law and their kids, and it was fine.

Any woman in my position would say it's lonely.

I'd hit 40, and most of my contemporaries have children, and their lives become very different, and it's quite exclusionary, but not deliberately so, but it is.

And so you do find yourself alone a lot.

I certainly did, and I'm quite introverted, so thankfully...

In a sense, that's a blessing because it makes it easier for me to be solitary.

I was loving my job as a features writer at Good Weekend, the best job in the world.

I had the most amazing editor, Amelia Lester, who'd worked at The New Yorker.

Actually, she came later.

That's right.

Sorry.

But I decided I'd go dating again online.

So what was it about Jo's work?

Well, he contacted me and very soon after I put my profile back up online, he contacted me and he could write.

He put apostrophes in the right place.

Grammar will get you every time.

Grammar gets you.

That is a very rare thing.

Men generally online don't write very eloquently and he wrote very, very eloquently.
