Cake Fiend

Here's a mad one:

Do you have any idea what she likes to do?

skipn_easy

I was going to say ice-skating. I think it would make a cool first date. The smithfield one is still open till 10 in the evening and costs 12 euro per person.

tinkerbell

The ice skatin would be cool! If she was a bit shy, it would give her an excuse to hang on to ya

Lex_Diamonds

Ehhhh, bring her to a place that serves alcohol ya dummy.

The Corinthian

What are your ages? What kind of budget are we talking? Is this a blind date? Is this a first date? Have you kissed her yet? Do you intend to seduce her on this date or hold off?

Need more info before I can suggest something.

passive

you could get drunk then go ice skating?
probably not safe but almost definately fun.

hehee, that would be insane!! let us know if you decide to go skating while being pished, I want to see that! lol

tte

Infinite budget
Haven't kissed her
First 'date' (hate that American phrase)
Yes i want to seduce her but i also want some Craic
Any tips on women and first time liasons?

gandalf

Well if you want to seduce her take her out Tuesday night. Statistically you will have a better chance.

Classy.

Well in that case I suggest a space launch then shag in SPACE. Who can claim they have done that?

Woden

chief o'neills across from the ice skating in smithfield is a nice enough place for a pint after ice-skating if you went, its quite open though high ceilings iirc

i don't think i'd recommend the cinema as you'll be out for half the night unable to talk to the girl

The Corinthian

I kind of liked the Ice skating idea, however, off the top of my head here’s a few more:

Option 1: Dinner. Some cosy little Italian or French restaurant that preferably becomes a wine bar after hours, such as Il Baccaro or La Cave. If you get on well, suggest staying on for the wine bar and a nightcap...

Option 2: Pub Crawl. Meet her for a drink. Get to know her a little. Suggest a change of venue and go to another pub. Get to know her a little more. Suggest another change of venue and go to another pub. Get to know her a little more. You get the picture...

Option 3: Art Gallery Reception. If you don’t have an invite, don’t worry; just get a list of upcoming exhibitions to the numerous private galleries, and the reception will be on at 6pm on the day before it opens to the public. Revert to either option 1 or 2 thereafter.

Only if you’ve not met her yet.

Tuesday? Thats the second time I've heard that rumour about Tuesdays being a 'good' night. What is special about Tuesdays?

I ask the question from a scientific perspective, of course. Ahem.

Agent Smith

i am intrested on this "tuesday" theroy"....




anyone got any info?

Gordon

Yes, please tell.

Beruthiel

the theory is, so I’ve heard – if a woman is out on the town on a Tuesday, she is most likely to be seduced by, ehh, your charms…. (this only counts if she's a stranger)

Gordon

What, she's desperate like?

Actually that reminds me that I have had better luck in mid week nights as opposed to weekends... Not that I've ever shagged a burd or even kissed one of course.

Walls

Or she ever kissed you back.

sutty

Well if I remember right about those times I've gone out on the "mid week" Most of the "women" you meet are nurses or gards and are as the classy people say "GAGGING FOR IT"

Thus meaning Yes you are more likely to score on a Tuesday. However I douth that would apply to a first date.

As for a place to go, the ice skating sounds like a good idea and then drinks after words so ye can have a laugh at each others lack of skill's. But what ever you do! Dont go to the cinema. That 1.5 to 3 hours where ye are not talking (giving her to much time to think)

Walls

"Remember right"? How long has it been Mr Sutty Sir?

Tray

Whatever you do dont bring her out for dinner on the first date! Some women have issues with that sort of thing and mightnt be comfortable eating in front of you yet. Unbelievable I know:rolleyes:

DUX

Yeah, I think midweek days are cool if your aim is to play it slowly or just kiss her... I believe that wherever you bring her the atmosphere would quieter than during the weekends and she would be more focused on you.

However, if your intention is to go all the way at the first date weekends are better.... (but you look really interested in this girl so I don't think you mind waiting a little bit).
For weekends I suggest: You ask her out for dinner first and then you meet her at about 7 for:

1) Pre-dinner cocktail, just to play it a little bit cooler than the average guy.
2) Dinner, let her choose the type of cousine and then based on that you choose the restaurant.
3) Moment of the truth: suggest to change place, to go to the pub or for a coffee for example. If she say "No", on Saturday nite, there are no excuses like "I have to work tomorrow", etc, so more than likely your date didn't go that well.... this is not always true though, but most of the times it is.
If she say "Yes", then you are on the right direction.
4) In the pub try to flirt a lot (you should start doing this at dinner, but not too much), and to stay closer to her.... you will soon find out if she likes you or not.
If she does like you then you can decide whether going for it or hold off for the night (either she think you are a "Very cool" or a "Very slow" guy..).

Usually on a date what I do is try do change pub or club during the nite, to let her the possibility to say "No, I have to go" and not make her feeling uncomfortable... anyway, for some girls out there is not worth it all this hassle....:-)

KlodaX

what are you into? ..... why not bring her on a little adventure ... something different that you like to do .... that way you aren't just another 'date' ... and she'll get to know you a little better... I don't know what there is to do in Dublin ... but I'm sure there is lots.

think of something that you like to do on your own... then make it slightly more romantic... ie wine, flowers... the usual... in an unusual place

I can't explain my idea unless I know what you do? ... any hobbies? .. ways you like to spend time?

nah its believable i heard of that before, women just sometimes aren't comfortable eating in front of people they like/fancy, saying that i think i only know one from personal experience but the fact that you mentioned it makes two

oh and what about the ghost bus tour? someone on after hours tried this out as a date thingy a while back i think, it would be something different?

KlodaX

what is the ghost bus tour?

My Ex was like that when we started going out. She would eat a sandwich with her hand over her mouth. I said to her "I've given and received oral sex from you and you can't eat a sandwich in front of me".

Women truely are strange creatures!!

Woden

its good craic, i'm into all that stuff but i enjoyed when i went on it, i suppose it was a couple of years ago now, the guy on it was a good story teller i thought

Nevyn

apprently certain women that have hang ups about
having sex after getting drunk over the weekend dont feel as bad when they do the same on a Tuesday,
plus on a tuesday those who have to work shift work over the weekend are out and there will be less of a crowd in town so better chances of chatting someone up.



somewhere quiet where you can talk is really what you need, nothing worse then your best lines are lost in the clatter in a noisey pub or mangles when she confesses stuff to you and gets grumpy when you dont remember later.

Probably has something to do with the herd mentality. Getting laid at the weekend means they settled for anything, during the week was more "YES! I got laid last night and you didn't".

Mmmm.... good thinking!!

So going out on tuesdays is the thing. Gotta check this out.

Nurses can be a little lose (not all though). I remember when i was a barman and a few asked me to leave with them. I said no and the barman on with me thought i was mad. Me being a good little boy said "I have a girlfriend and i would never cheat on her".

Its funny looking back on how naieve you are when you're really young.

leonotron

Quaser at the leisure plex in coolock, birds love that sh1t, then take her to the late show in the cinema, then back to the plex for a burger then some pool until about 5 in the morning and she will be putty in your hands, trust me. If you make it playing pool till about 9am buy her a toaster in Power City to show how much you care

THE PERFECT DATE:

Start early at Burdocks, Wax Museum, drop hand in the house of horrors, pints in Madigans then Abrekebabra/Supermacs then a cheap hostel for the final hurdle.

DO NOT bring her to La Cave unless she appreciates being felt up by older, fatter and ugly men or plain simply leered at.

Somewhere WAAAY nicer is Ely on Ely place and you can pretend you are knowledgable about wines into the bargain. Err, where else. Mmn. The ice skating is good, save for if she is shy she might be hung up about fallin on her arse on your first date.

Alchohal is always good for the first date, especially somewhere nice. Bring her to Ely, have some food and order the Pinot Noir from Cloudy Bay. Pricey, but liquid velvet. She's yours after that.
