    hey. I met a girl online and we got chattin which turned into textin and now we wanna meet eachother...the thing is, she is a lot thinner and more athletic than I am (losin weight at the moment...goin well but long way to go...), anyways, I am scared of missin the opportunity with her because of my own weight and terrible lack of self esteem. Do ya think she would be as shallow as I am? Sorry, I know that is a very open-ended question but it is something that is getting to me :(

    Wow, this message was supposed to be me asking what would be a nice pub to head to but it seems to have turned into a councelling session...:o

    Count the first bit as part one and this is part 2...I sort of want to meet up and do the whole bar and few drinks thing...that way we can both relax and just chat...I know that alcohol shouldn't be needed but haven't had a date in more than 2 years so it's all a bit rusty...Do ye know of any nice, relaxed bars in the city? I was thinking about downstairs in Le Cirk but am not sure...what do you all think? Anyone have the same experience?

    Thanks in advance

    Don't be stupid, she wont care about your weight unless you make it an issue.

    Try the morgan in temple bar, its good fun and kinda trendy.

    From experience from hearing things from my own friends. Girls don't care as much about weight half as much as guys do. A guy looks at a girls appearance as one of the key issues in being with her, whereas girls genuinely (as far as my friends go) think its a bonus if he's good looking, but the key issues are good personality and humour.

    The Irish club scene is appalling for meeting people because most girls are so defensive and guys are aggressive so its impossible to break either, but if you've broken down the initial barrier with this girl by talking to her a lot online, then you're half way there. The key is to be just as nice and funny in person.

    i agree with the above poster, most girls i know are more interested in personality and meeting someone genuine if they are going to date them so dont let your weight spoil what should be looking forward to a nice date! she could be self conscious about something too......you'd never know. as for where to go-the porter house (nassau st or temple bar) is always good for dates. not packed and not empty-perfect if its a mid week date. good luck!
