I try the normal diplomatic ways at first and then progressively get more harsh as the situation warrants. It does remind me of a very funny story, but its too long for the board. Basically someone was very blunt
I was talking about something that happened between two people in a public place. The person who did wish to be spoken to, just flat out yelled SHUT UUUP! It was funny, you would really have to hear the whole story to appreciate it though
That being said there really is no full proof way of knowing who a person really is wherever you meet them. Use your noggin in the internet and bar. For you gals, safety would be real concern, for us gents, unscrupulous ladies will be looking to separate us from our money
True stories are some of my favorites. There was the book Wiseguy, then made into the movie Goodfellas. It was very well written about the NY underworld. If you liked the movie, read the book because it has so much more detail. There was another one about a woman who wrote about her 20+ years experience as a waitress. She provides a lot of insight into the personalities she served and the profession itself, quite fascinating!
I think only a small minority would not. The one problem that distance may bring up is the doubts in one head if they are really the perfect person. Have you spent enough quality time with them etc. That is the one barrier that I see.
Slap in the face? well maybe, but I would expect something more along the lines of a third party saying something to the effect of "You have the right to remain silent"
It appears that you are in the same boat as I. (will be traveling to Europe soon) The difference being that I always find the Irish to be very friendly and accommodating. This is NYC I speak of, it may be different in the midwest.
So for all you Irish reading this, how many suck up points do I get??
I am sure I will if your reply is indicative of that. I was planning on visiting towards the end of this year. I am of Irish descent, so it will be nice to see the old country so to speak.
Well I have to say Munchkin, after reading these forums the past couple of days, I thought you guys were friendly. Now after reading that, I am convinced of it. Good for you on being so gregarious. It makes this site unique in a refreshing sort of way!
I have to say this discussion seems to correlate with the thread about how many times to go out with somebody before getting intimate. If both parties agree that one night is enough to wait, then maybe of excitement of meeting someone fades and there is no interest for a relationship to grow. Hence it is only one night.
Are just men looking for it? Again just like the other thread, depends mostly on the individual.
Wow thats quite a move, Australia to Ireland. Good for you, never been to either place, but can guess its a HUGE change based on what I know. Glad it has worked out!
