In this hilarious episode of Telling Tinder Tales, hosts Chris O’Neill and Thomasin Lockwood are joined by Lucy, a 27-year-old sports broadcasting professional from London, who shares one of the most awkward, wild, and unforgettable dating stories yet.

What starts as a promising Hinge date in London quickly turns into a full-blown rom-com nightmare when Lucy is invited on a first date ice skating at Canary Wharf— in the middle of London’s business district. From being filmed on the ice “to make memories” less than an hour into the date, a rooftop bar, questionable suggestions, and walking away with a borrowed ice rink manager hoodie, this episode has everything that makes online dating so chaotic and funny.

Along the way, the hosts dive into:

• Dating app disasters and first date red flags
• Doing dates “for the plot”
• Celebrity crushes and unconventional attraction
• Boundary-setting on awkward dates
• Why fun dates don’t always mean the right person
• And how Lucy somehow keeps collecting hoodies from men she never sees again

Packed with sharp banter, laugh-out-loud moments, and relatable dating insights, this episode is perfect for fans of dating podcasts, comedy podcasts, bad Tinder stories, and anyone navigating modern dating.

🎧 If you love real dating stories, awkward first dates, and comedy that tells the truth about dating apps, this episode of Telling Tinder Tales is not to be missed.
