    Any event where the two attracted people involved have arranged to meet up and a banner of friendship hasn't been specifically declared.

    any prearranged mutually agreed activity between two people who desperatly want to shag each other but cant admit that yet :D

    I was replying to a coment of yours when I thought, off thread, and I didnt want to interupt the flow on that thread. Besides I think there should be a bit of meat on this topic.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,356 ✭✭✭Donegal Lass


    When someone is specifically asked would they like to go for a meal/to cinema/meet in the pub for a few drinks to get to know each other. Sobriety is a big factor in a proper date! :D not "meet me out the back in five for a quick grope. Oh will ya get me a double JD and coke on the way out sweetcheeks??" :D

    ah i think its quite quaint. its the "my partner" "significant other" crap i cant stand. damned PC !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,258 ✭✭✭✭Rabies


    Very hard to find a good date. It takes time and patience. Some mature well, others go to the bottom of the barrell.
    Some are juice and sweet, others are end up tasting like your grandmother.

    If all else fails, the internet is your friend

    Some of us just aren't that fond of saying "My bitch" or "yer wan". "Girlfriend" makes it sound like a teenage crush.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,356 ✭✭✭Donegal Lass


    or "the woman" in Donegal :D gotta love the culchies!! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Any agreement to be somewhere and do something where 2 people of oppossing sexes/compatible sexualities are involved. Friends can go on dates for example.


  • Posts: 8,016 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Food, dvd, cans and ejaculation.

    LOL,
    Its an arrangement between two people that are (in most cases) attracted to eachother to go out and fun.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,321 ✭✭✭prendy


    5th of october is a nice date.

    but when your in love arent they all?

    its the great leveler, no matter how old or experienced you are love can still reduce you to idiocy at the mere sight of a girl.

    sides, i'd go with "me maith", then again im from dublin . the PC stuff sounds too much like a business deal(though i am interested to see what " ma bitch" would result in :D )

    Also: The Missionary Position, followed by a firm handshake.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,956 ✭✭✭layke


    Ok, mebbe it's just me but I find dates never pan out well. There's just too much pressure involving how to act and so forth. Subconsciously I've notice I act more polite in a 1 on 1 situation and for some unknown reason my cheeky side dissapears (which I would consider a huge aspect of my personality). In fact now that I think about it a date has ever worked out for me after asking a gal out to dinner. Where as in a pub club or a party I feel a lot more comfortable. I wonder why that is?

    Imo dating is overrated. Every gal i've gone out with has started as a one night stand from a random party/pub/work doo etc.

    Sitting on the side of a road in rush hour in a broken down car, with a cup of coffee, in the rain, waiting for a breakdown van to arrive.

    Best date ever tbh.

    Did the windows steam up?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    They did, but only because it was freezing outside and we couldn't put the car heating on. It was the electrics that went in the car, or something.

    For the craic she put a handprint on the window, like in Titanic.

    That was one of the funnier parts of the date.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,921 ✭✭✭2 stroke


    Oh. I thought you were on your own.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    Ha, no.

    We were supposed to be going to the cinema, but the car broke down on the way there.

    So we had the date in the car instead.

    its the way 2stroke prefers his dates! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,921 ✭✭✭2 stroke


    He should have said 2 cups of coffee. Then again maybe they shared a cup. I'm saving my definition for the moment.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,356 ✭✭✭Donegal Lass


    what are you saving it for???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,921 ✭✭✭2 stroke


    There's probably another days discussion in that.

    I like staying in with a curry and a dvd and a can of cider.
    Classy bird that I am.

    With my boyfriend now its pubcrawl, nightclub, his/my bed. Perfect.

    I'm not "comfortable" with proper dates;as in I don't like people seeing me eat.
    Conversation is limited. At least going to a nightclub we can make a show of ourselves together.

    Meal, few drinks and the possibility of sex afterwards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,331 ✭✭✭✭bronte


    Dinner and drinks...or cinema trip ...or comedy club..all of those'd be good dates.

    +1, but change 'possibility' to 'guarantee' ftw

    If a guy fit all those into one date would he be 100% guaranteed some action?

    Going to a fancy restaurant and having a nice candle lit meal. We'll only order the most expensive food and the finest wine (only the best for the ladies I go out with). Then it all ends with me climbing out the bathroom window of the restaurant leaving her to foot the bill as I run down the road laughing manically.

    I know a girl (used to live beside my friend) and a friend of mine took her out for a meal (Thai, I believe).
    We saw her the following week and asked how it went.

    "It was fúckin' brutal. I woulda' preferred a fúckin' McDonalds."
