Hey all,

Tonight is my last Internet coffee date. His name is hardluvnman. I pray he has his teeth.

Wish me luck,

Lucy

Lucy,

Good luck with your research. Hopefully he has his own teeth and own hair and remembers to brush both.

Looking forward to hearing all about Lucy’s hardluvnman.

P.S. What kind of guy calls himself hardluvnman? Is he compensating for something?

Lucy,

For God’s sakes don’t do it. Serial killers lurk on those online dating sites. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel for them. Next thing you know, some guy is wearing your head for a hat.

Love,

Maddie
