    Hi All!

    I'm a single mid-20s girl living in Galway City. Every-1 I know is attached / engaged / married / already got the kidz r indeed currently pregnant! Under these circumstances; - Enter the new way of living "Staying in is the new going out!" and let us all be big fat gooseberries into the the bargain !! So here am I ..... an alone Singleton all on my own in this big bad ugly world .....

    So how can I be a Single to mingle, when I don't even have any-one to go mingle with ..... :(

    If there's any other Single girls in Galway out there that would be up for a good Night Out, and possible a big Man-hunt Lemmekno !!

    Or on the other side of the coin if there is any decent Males in Galway City l8-20s r 30-32 Pleas Do Lemmekno !! ;)

    Another thing is if any-1 would like to form a group to go away on Holiday possibly in the age-group of 20s-30s that still find themselves living the lives of Batchelor(ettes,) of mixed sexes for a Foreign Sun Holiday Abroad late this Summer, please do let me know as soon as possible! I'd lov!!e for some-thing like this to happen !!

    Awaiting your responses,
    mrsomebody. (Well there's always Hope !!)

    So what you're saying is......'a/s/l'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    Is it Mr Somebody or Mrs Omebody?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    I think Gailgegrind's harpe-like friends have already taken all of the single men... I'm the only one left, so you'll have to take a number and wait in line love:cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,065 ✭✭✭✭Malice

    Funnily enough, that's exactly the question I thought of when I saw the OP's username. Hopefully it's a Mrs as a Mr referring to themselves as a girl is a bit odd :).

    So is that between 18-20 or 30-32 (in other words people between 21 and 29 inclusive need not apply) or simply between 18-32?

    I think the l8 means late 20's.

    Single girls in their 20s in Galway are a fiction!

    This city is already hooked up I'm afraid.

    Yet again last night, spent about an hour talking to a nice girl, who then told me she had a boyfriend :(

    I'm just after coming out of a 3 year relationship last weekend. I went out with the girls last night, and thought that the men of Galway would at least make a tiny effort to chat me up, not that I'm ready for anything yet, but it would be nice. However, all I got were men banging my shoulder and stretching out their arms etc. What does that mean? Are there any people who are regularly drunken fools that can enlighten me?

    (PS I'm a little heartbroken, so be nice ;))


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,376 ✭✭✭gaeilgegrinds


    Well...I'm single a month & am only raring to go now!!! I agree it's tough to go out on ones own so I think we could arrange meet ups here. Meet lovely guys any night I go out but by Monday they disappear. It's tough but perserverance does pay off!

    Drunken people generally behave like idiots. I wouldn't try to read anything into it.

    I would say there are plenty of single girls in their 20's about but you have to weed out the munters and the bunny-boilers :). Also, if you spent an hour talking to a girl, how did she avoid mentioning her boyfriend? Usually they'll mention that pretty quickly so that you know the score.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,376 ✭✭✭gaeilgegrinds


    I realised I was being taken for a mug. Well and truly over, I'm back!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,166 ✭✭✭✭Zzippy

    Didn't you just have a baby? And he's gone already?? Sounds like you're better off without him...

    You'd have to ask her, but I'd imagine she was enjoying the conversation (I can be reasonably entertaining when I'm in the mood ;)) and knew that it would be over if she mentioned it.

    Pity for me she waited until the club was over though.

    Well bad news for him, good news for the rest of us ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 829 ✭✭✭MattKid


    Pity for you that you didn't ask her relationship status, near the beginning of the conversation.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,376 ✭✭✭gaeilgegrinds


    I think if a guy asks it's weird...it's kind of a given that you're single if you're talking flirty to a guy for an hour. Maybe she just wasn't interested & that was the best excuse she could come up with?

    Needs to be added to the checklist document to be completed when entering negotiations with a member of the female gender for the purpose of scoping requirements for a non-platonic relationship.

    If you'd been talking for a while, and then she mentioned 'boyfriend', then I'd review what you were discussing recently, to see if you revealed any personal info she wasn't too keen on (ie, "I'm not a doctor.")

    If she waited until club was over to mention 'boyfriend', it sounds like she was just using you for company until it was over (and it came time to make the next move). Either that, or you look much worse in good light ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,376 ✭✭✭gaeilgegrinds


    I think an hours talking would pretty much tell you all you need to know. I know the kinds of questions that are important to most women but what REALLY matters to men?! I mean iif they're talking to you I take it they like the look of you...what else matters to ye?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,155 ✭✭✭PopeBuckfastXVI


    Well I met her on the way out and she was with her boyfriend.

    Hmm perhaps it wasn't an hour, maybe more like half an hour. She bought me a drink though, and she was good crack, so it wasn't all a loss!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 330 ✭✭tristanc


    Damn, if she was buying, you must have been charming. Maybe she didn't mention him cause she was having some second thoughts about him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20 mrsomebody


    Cheers for the comedy folks !! Ye kept me laughin 4 2 hours with all ur replies !! It's great to be light-hearted and to hav something to laugh at/about !! Okay okay maybe I could have selected a better user-name I agree, but I did xplain my reasons for my name, ie: that I am currently looking for somebody, and want that some-body to be Mr. rather than Miss/Ms./Mrs!! (Please don't waste your own time joking about trans-genderisms here!) Maybe all those Brain-box Einsteins who felt it necessary to comment on my name should have indicated their own questionable genders on their own questionable profiles & names first eh ???!!! :rolleyes:

    I would also like to congratulate the couple of Clever-clogs on stating the obvious !! ie: me being a girl posing as a Mr !!! :D

    And of course the Scholars confusing their ls and their 1s l8 (late) with the age/number 18 !! Back to the School Class-room 4 u !! :p

    Mrsomebody I'd love to know are you for real?! No there is no marriage or baby. I think all that was explained earlier. No baby much to my dismay and now no man. As for asking were they real. Yes they were, in the past. Now it's just me.

    Randylonghorn and Caliden were postulating that it may be a troll account from an Irish internet luminary, though I can see how one might have thought they were being insolent little rogues.

    mrsomebody - Structure your posts, it makes them far easier to read and understand.
    Spelling words in full helps too.

    Please, you have a nice full keyboard in front of you with loads of keys that can be used to make full words, easily understood by everyone. Use it for the love of God!

    I am curious how you manage to spell words like 'interested', 'explicable' and nothing fully and correctly but yet you can't do the same with the word 'be'? I thought that all practitioners of txt speek just took short cuts with all words?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,276 ✭✭✭Alessandra


    OP, why don't you give online dating a go. That way you get to view pictures of your potential suitors before you meet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,300 ✭✭✭PixelTrawler


    My thoughts on reading this is that its a sun holiday agency looking for numbers... or a complete scam (if the OP is genuine, its not personal, its just how it reads and people on forums for a while see odd first posts from time time).

    I'd be fairly suspicious of a new user in the first few posts asking people to arrange holidays and asking for phone numbers...

    You say you asked for mobiles because you didnt know how the pm works but you're asking for the numbers by pm? It doesnt add up.

    You can't blame people for being wary

    edit: just read the start of your other thread - jaysus maybe you're the genuine article... easy on easy off clothing - your setting expectations ;-)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,376 ✭✭✭gaeilgegrinds


    Dates for the next three weekends, including Friday but thanks for the offer. It isn't hard to meet guys, just hard to get them to commit! At the moment I'm happy just having some fun though!
