RE: One for male & female, The best chat up line recieved or said to you

Loyal to a fault I am....what was I to do with my mates' drinks??

RE: One for male & female, The best chat up line recieved or said to you

Was at a pub with friends in Dublin and walked over to the bar to order more Jaegermiester shots (yes, some serious drinkers in the lot I was with ).....

After ordering the man next to me asked, "have you ever kissed an Irishman?".....

Now could I say anything but "no"???

Next thing he has an arm about me, tips me back and kisses me and then says (cheeky as you please) "Now you have!"

I shall note he was lovely to look at, but I just made my way back to my friends with a Cheshire cat grin.....

RE: What do you really think...?

Just avoid slipping the band a request for "Danny Boy" and you'll be fine.

It is as Munchkin and others have said...Ireland only has issues with Bush and America in that regard. Individual yanks will find them lovely.

Of course I (with my then-9-year old daughter) marched in protest of the American military using Shannon Airport, again in of Bush's 23-hour-visit to Ireland a few years back and another time right after the Invasion of Iraq....so we made lots of new friends.

RE: Go It Alone???????

Go alone and plan to have a great time.

Don't ask the ex. He is ex for a reason.

RE: Fun (but different) things to do on a date??

Some of the best dates I've had involve a simple picnic, a kite or two and the beach. Those dates have gone from lunchtime until the sunsets and a fire is lit.

Dating is a time to get to know one another and if you always spend it doing things that prevent conversation for 2-3 hours, such as the cinema, theatre, concerts, you spend a lot of money and don't really make to many new discoveries about the other.

I prefer activities that inspire interaction and conversation. But I know how much the men love to chat about themselves.

RE: id like to intriduce myself

That was my first thought... course if you're going to fake it, you might as well fake it REALLY good.

RE: Is it true

I lived for nearly two years on the west coast of Ireland and have fantastic friends in Dublin, Co Carlow, and Co Fermanagh. I never felt that I had any problems with people because I am an American. But, I am not a "typical Yank" to be sure. Your statement, as a general one, is somewhat true, but there are few Europeans who look kindly on America and "typical Yanks."

Irish people, like most people all over the world, are warm and welcoming if you are genuine and have a respect for who they are and their culture.

RE: Can you say it for real?

Definitely it's the real me. I received what I thought was the ultimate compliment from someone I became friends with online first. After we met, he said I was exactly as I seemed here - very genuine.

It makes no sense to put on a facade if you are planning to meet people. Just like my pic is probably one of my worst with no makeup and on holiday, but if that doesn't scare someone away then the real me will be a pleasant surprise.
