first date

ta for advice, seems there's still interest in the old thread, where to go?

Gonna be blunt here..

If the girl genuinely liked you.. the fact that u had gone out on one date with her mate would NOT put her off.

If you had been her mate's boyfriend, then that is understandable.

My honest take on this is that she has taken an 'easy way out' of a date she wasn't 100% interested in.

The rose thing... dude.. c'mon.. you've kept your pride up until now by not whining over her pathetic excuse.. but you risk losing it by that action. Girls like that stuff in the movies, not necessarily in real life. ALSO if you are going to do it... doing it in proximity to her workplace might **mortify** her and result in her workmates/superiors taking the piss out of her and she might be understandably annoyed/angry with you.

thats a fair point, but i genuinly believe she does like me, why would she bother answering my call. i've been around the block a bit and know when someone is using a crappy excuse, or is not interested.

if you want somthing, you've gotta go for it. i would't try this if i knew she had no interest what so ever.

why do you feel the need to bin a thread filled with useful information that will only come up time and time again?

anyway on topic..

to be nice? not all women ignore calls when they don't want to be with somebody... continue contact with her and see if anything develops from that.. but as soma said forget this rose business.. especially for a girl you haven't even got out with once... unless she's a complete extrovert it will just embarass her and she won't know what to think.

for some reason i couldnt reply on the original thread.. so here will have to do...

as for places to go... The following are always good spots for this sort of thing:

Food (not quite restaurant places... quick, cheap enough):

Wagamama beside/underneath St.Stephens green shopping centre:
Good japanese, chinese, oriental food. average €14 for a meal...
You're usually in and out (excuse the pun) in about 30 to 40 mins...
Good atmosphere in the place.. its communal bench style seating so it takes away the whole 2 people at a table pressure situation...

Cafe Bar Deli on George's Street:
Italian pizza/bolognese/salad type place... same price wise as wagamama.. good atmosphere

Watering Holes:
Market Bar on Fade Street, just of George's Street:
Slightly upmarket type place, no music, so you can have a good chat etc..

Hogan's on the corner of Fade Street and George's Street:
Good pub type place.. full of 20 somethings.. non 'pretencious' (to coin a phrase)..
music is good modern dance/rock music.. background type stuff.. still low enough that you can have a chat etc without screaming down her ear...

The Globe on George's Street again:
same as hogans really... good spot.... turns into ri-ra's later which is always a good laugh...

Loadsa pubs on Camden St:
Solas, Anseo, Whelans, The Village, O'Flahertys, Cassidys, Bleeding horse...

Im all out of ideas now... anyway hope this helps... even though you god stood up...:D

what’s going on alienhead?
why did you edit your comments out?
did she not tell you she wasn't interested?

alienhead

decided against that plan of action, just needed a reality check, i'd like to think we live in a world where we can do stuff like that, but guess we dont.

do you mind deleting this thread and putting the old one back, there seems to be interest in it.

I cannot move the old one back, you will have to PM the 'recycle bin' mod for this

I am still wondering why you are pursuing this as she has said no

Stalker... :eek:

loismustdie

if you hadn't been on a date yet she could easily be put off by the fact that you previously fancied her mate. some girls don't like being with lads that have been around the block especially with their friends

i'm not still pursuing her, i was asking for the old post to be put up because as kali said its got usefull info in there.
