right, so admittedly im smashed as im writig this,

but isnt this weekend ment to be one of the nicest weather we get all year?

feck the evenings, ask her to meet up on saturday day and take her to dublin zoo followed by a picnic/walk through phoenix park.

It isnt expensive,
the animals are brilliant
the weather is good.

You get to do something different and get educated ( :pac: )
Its not expensive, tener in or some lark
and if you find the crowds to hard in zoo to talk intimately or whatever, you have the walk or picnic after to really enjoy eachothers company,
Zoo is a great date!

if you stuck as to how to get there, the number 10 bus from cty centre has its last stop right beside enterance.

IMMA in Kilmainham hospital is always lovely and you dont even need to like art and its got a nice coffee shop.Great ambience.

Plenty of early bird menus going . Combine nice weather and food Bloody Stream in Howth and a walk on the piers etc.

Hey, im not from dublin so dont know if would be as nice/good up there, but curraheen park greyhound stadium in cork is a fantastic night out,,, now i have no interest in greyhound racing whatsoever but i can say that me and my bf went out there and i loved it,,, you could go for a meal in the restaurant and the racing breaks up the formality of a meal and is good craic too.. after the races then the band comes on,, (dont know if its the same set up in dublin but i would presume it is)

other than that id say the zoo is a pretty good idea...

good luck

Not sure about the zoo idea - the vast number of sprogs would put me off.

a) take her to Powerscourt waterfall. Very romantic. Take a rug to sit on and a snack/picnic.

b) Take her to the upstairs lounge in the Westin Hotel on Westmoreland Street. It is SO classy and impressive.

All the best.

What about a walk in Dun Laoghaire and lunch/dinner in a little cafe there? Start at the pier and work your way up towards Sandycove. Cavistons is good for seafood but might be a bit pricey and it's a good idea to book in advance. Anyway, make the most of the fine weather.

Would you mind letting us know the name of the site where ye met? I'm in the late 30s/early 40s age group myself and am looking for a good dating site where I can find honest chaps. Thanks.

Good luck with the third date

ha, i dont remember posting my original suggestion for it!

you're right do, the zoo can be full of children, but i went there with my gf a while ago, and it was surprisingly fine!

If it get to much we could of just headed off to the Africa section, its huge, good way to get away from them.

Id avoid the tours do... now they are full of kids!

anyway, best of luck OP

Go to Howth, nice walk around the pier and then some fish and chips. Although give her a heads up about the walking as she might be planning on wearing heels.
