Road side girl?

    ok, so this is going to sound strange so let me give u backround. I'm a young lad who recently came out of a relationship of over a year (nearly two)
    anyway i have been single over a month and hav gotten over her. lately i've been looking at women (as most single men do)

    Over the weekend i had to stop abruptly on the road because a car in front had stopped. unfortunatly i got hit from behind from the car behind. after chatting on the road side waiting ont he gards who never came (long story). anyways, this girl is two years older than me but lives near by. I have her mobile number then we exchanged contact info to sort the crash. she text me earlier to check if i was ok and thanked me for bein so nice on the roadside. She is very attractive and i know she is single (she old me). Do you reckon after all this is sorted i should maybe ask her out? maybe just hit the local and see if she seems interested? or am i wasting time?
    I don't want to ask until after everything is cleared up because it may complicate fixing the cars etc.

    Should i wait until after the cars are repaired etc? a lot of communication will be made during this time as we are settling. we prefer not to go through insurance as both of us are young, paying high enough premiums.

    Don't let your dick steer your business. Get the car fixed, and then chase her up. Show any interest, and she may use it to get you to drop charges.

    Yeah, I'd definitely advise you to get all the stuff sorted out before you make any attempts at asking her out. Of course, continue to be nice and pleasant but take your time. It would be very awkward I'd imagine if there were some kind of financial arrangements you'd have to make while at the same time trying to have a date. Imagine she told you she was broke due to something tragic, sure you'd probably offer to drop the whole fixing the car thing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,339 ✭✭✭congo_90


    well actually, if she can't afford to pay the damages then i would have no choice but to go insurance route. this will be annoying. I only began to think about her after i drove off. We seemed to be getting on ok spending 20mins on the road, i offered a lift if she was stuck. maybe it was roadside banter? well i will find out soon enough i'm sending the car for a quote tomorrow in several garges..
    I'm a nice guy so cheapest will suffice.

    Be careful. I had a friend that was dating this girl who took him to the cleaners. Coming back from a nightout he skidded on ice and hit a wall. he was driving with caution at the time (about 15 mph) and hit the wall. It didn't even collapse. They laughed it off and then went for a drink the same night. Then the calls stopped. She claimed neck trauma and damage to her teeth and got a nice few bob for it. A tuff one for my buddy as he new this girl for years.

    Be careful here bud. Fix your car and then fix a date.
    Keep us posted

    Get the business side sorted first.

    Otherwise, all sorts of complications could arise ...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 949 ✭✭✭LoanShark


    Wait till the cars is fixed, She might have another plan if you get involved before they are fixed..

    Do get the car and money sorted first!

    how cute tho, what a story to tell the grandkids ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,798 ✭✭✭Mr. Incognito


    I think that knock went to your head. Sort the compo out first. She might be the type to throw you a quick roll in the hay to get out of paying- it does happen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,420 ✭✭✭Lollipops23


    aw imagine if it turned out that yiz were meant to be!"so how did you two meet?" "oh, i crashed into her!"

    Yeah defo wait until everything is sorted regarding the cars/insurance etc, but there's no reason not to make a move after!good luck!:D

    Yes, wait until the business with insurance etc is all cleared up and if there are no hard feelings you should ask her out. And spell check your posts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    As everyone else has said, don't let her know about the attraction till everything is sorted! Don't worry about her trying to claim off you, as she went into the back of you she's technically to blame.

    Also "We met by accident" ;):D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22 drand


    Good advice all round on getting the business end sorted first. But if she managed, in that short time, to tell you she is single then seems like she might be up for it. High Five!

    Well she crashed into the back of him so she is completely liable.

    As others have said though, wait till everything's sorted. When it is, ask if you could buy her dinner for being so cooperative etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,639 ✭✭✭PeakOutput


    your much better off letting the insurance deal with it. all this stuff about not trusting insurance comapnies etc is crap and if she dosnt want her premium to go up she can just pay the insurance company back the money they paid out...its simple.

    anyway its prob too late now. defo go for it after she has paid you for the car if you havnt seen her around util now if she says no you will prob not see again so no embarasment factor at all, good luck

    Only thing is your communication might get formal, and over the course of time loose the oppurtunity!

    heard shes not in good form with pains all over...
    anyways, im getting a second quote for the car tomorrow. If she cannot afford it (probably not givin her medical expenses, her car and mine all need fixing) then it will go through insurance. i will hold off all chat up till its all cleared up.
    I think she mentioned she was single as banter and it was that she mentioned she has just come out of a relationship. ironically near equal to mine.

    still car comes first. then hopefully.... a good chat and maybe.... a game of 'hide the sausage'
    will keep yas posted next week.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,339 ✭✭✭congo_90


    well. update is that the damage done to my car is pretty damn high. won't go to details but so is her car and she is banged up. basically its her insurance now.
    I though about it. she said she had just got dumped by her fella that day. I reckon she was making convo... so now i think i should back off. maybe she's not interested and was just summarising her day as being sh*tty?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,639 ✭✭✭PeakOutput


    i still think u should go for it when its all settled

    Agreed :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,339 ✭✭✭congo_90


    well. Seems how the damage to my car is pretty pricey i'm going through insurance. its no problem now. because this means all is settled. my car gets sent for repair in the new year. We have been texting on and off lately. She offered to buy me a drink sometime...hmmmm
    also suttle hints about how she wants a proper fella around. somebody kind etc
    I reckon shes saying this to drop hints. Cars are sorted as i said so now i think i will make a move sometime over xmas. and ask if she'd like to join me for drink.

    When I said "smash her back doors in", I was of course alluding to a friendly game of "hide the sausage", not some violent rampage. Hope this clears up any misunderstanding.

    The meaning was obvious to me and I'd imagine to most people.
    It was fairly clear it was a joke and not threatening violence

    Best of luck OP, it'll be a classic wedding speech if it ever gets that far:)
