Never Been the Dating Type… – A Sexy, Smart Romantic Comedy About Control, Curiosity, and Late Firsts

She never dated. Never loved. Never even kissed anyone. At 39, Beatriz had everything — except the one thing she never put on the list.

Beatriz lives by lists.

As a successful consultant in São Paulo, her life is structured, efficient, and proudly drama-free. She wakes at the same time every day, drinks alkaline water, runs strategic meetings with Europe, and ends her evenings in the calm embrace of a perfectly curated apartment. Her secret? Avoiding chaos — especially the kind brought by love, romance, and sex.

But when her impulsive best friend signs her up for a blind date as a birthday gift, Beatriz is forced to face a question she’s never dared ask:

What if desire isn’t disorder?

What if control isn’t strength — but fear?

In a story that’s as bold as it is vulnerable, Never Been the Dating Type explores what it means to take a leap late in life. It’s about identity, intimacy, and allowing yourself to feel pleasure — on your terms.
