Have you been wondering who is the real Lucy behind the stories? Who is the woman behind the giraffe avatar and all the swearing? If you have, you’re not alone. A few weeks ago Lucy was approached by a lovely lady called Zainab from Tinderella Worldwide. Zainab is a dating…View Post
It’s October, and Lucy’s received another message from a guy on Guardian Soulmates. His name is Pardeep, he’s 39, and he’s tall, dark and handsome. (To read about Lucy’s other Soulmates adventures, click here). On top of his more obvious qualities, Pardeep has taken the time to actually look at her…View Post
After the recent story about Lucy’s attempt to find love by rejoining Guardian Soulmates, here’s one from the archive, about Lucy’s previous foray into the world of left-of-centre dating. It’s 2015, and Lucy’s been single for about 6 months after The Ex ended their 5-year relationship. After some time spent…View Post
Lucy is midway through her first hookup with her new FWB, Adam, also known as Mr Monday. If you missed it, you might want to catch up here before continuing. Lucy hadn’t seen Adam in almost a year, so she was pretty fucking nervous about the whole thing. To agree…View Post
Lucy’s been looking for a new Friend With Benefits. This isn’t Lucy’s normal style. She’s not really the kind of girl who wants to sleep around, or have a succession of random men passing through her bed. But she also has, you know, physical needs, and while she continues the…View Post
Some of you will remember Peter, Lucy’s first ever Friend With Benefits.

It’s the day of Lucy’s second date with Barry, who she matched with on Bumble.

Lucy has just been on a date with Barry from West London, with whom she got drunk and then made out behind a bus stop like she’s a student all over again. Though to be fair, when Lucy was a student she was so crap with men that she almost never…View Post
