National Wingman Week

At the end of June I'll be joining up to ten thousand people when I go to the Dating Show Live in Birmingham. Most of us will be going there with the hope of doing something to help us meet a special someone in real life, as frustration with online dating becomes more and more... Continue Reading →

Dating Bloggers Need You!

Recently I found myself in a swanky restaurant in London with some fabulous people, most of whom I'd never met before. We were joined by one thing - we were all finalists in the UK Blog Awards this year in the dating category. Along with myself were BumblingDad, Alice, highly commended winner Lucy and the...

When you know

I walked into the bar. There was a feel about the place, as if the universe had been waiting for me to be there are that exact moment on that exact day. Something exciting was going to happen. I looked over and was transfixed. Instantly I knew I had to have her. The thought of... Continue Reading →

I have to fancy you

As a blogger you are always writing posts which fall somewhere on a spectrum of how well they'll be received. On one end are posts you know will do well, because perhaps they're funny or poignant or responding with a new take on the events of the day. On the other end are posts which... Continue Reading →

The ad, which has been described as both wildly offensive as well as a work of PR genius, basically shows a woman who is... Continue Reading →

Too much of a good thing

I never used to understand the phrase "too much of a good thing makes you sick". There wasn't an amount of salami, or cheese, or fried chicken, or Dr Pepper, or curly wurly that could make me sick. Too much of a good thing was simply more of that good thing, right?! Then I discovered... Continue Reading →

A romantic past

At the time of writing, the pheromones from Valentine's day are still wafting through the air in workplaces and homes across the country. Cards are still on display, chocolates haven't all been scoffed and roses are looking alive and beautiful before they inevitably fade and rot and leave you with the realisation that you spent...

The day my world ended

27 January will always be a weird day for me. I was reminded of it this year by a Facebook Memories thing, which showed a picture I shared on 27 January 2016 of the time I was doing some laundry, ran out of blue Bold so mixed in some pink Bold like a real rebel.... Continue Reading →

Hurry up and meet her, Dad!

Recently I was lucky enough to go to New Orleans for work. We headed out there early, spent a few days doing tourist and culture stuff (ie drinking heavily) before doing a little work (and more drinking). Meant that I didn't see my kids for a little longer than normal, and so when I returned... Continue Reading →

What really goes through a guy’s head when she says yes

I'm sure there are a couple of readers out there who don't yet follow the dating travails of Lucy Goes Dating (though I don't know why you wouldn't be?!), so for that small group she is currently running a series which introduces Charlie. Charlie is super sexy, handsome, confident and intelligent, and knows exactly what... Continue Reading →
