    So I was in town (Dublin) earlier and I'm now home but no one about to go out with. I really wanna go out for more drinks but will I look like a perverted weirdo?

    A weirdo? Possibly. Who cares? Bring a newspaper.
    Perverted? What are you planning on wearing?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Swop seats every 10 minutes. Bring a set of glasses, each time you sit in the left seat, take the glasses off.

    Or just stay at home.

    Go to a pub with a pool table and try and stay on the table.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,473 ✭✭✭Wacker The Attacker


    I have no problems going for a few pints alone.

    I dont see the issue with it. If you have no one to go with then its not a big deal


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,075 ✭✭✭Wattle


    Put on an old man's mac and cap, grab a Racing Post and sit in the corner muttering to yourself. In time you'll be fondly regarded as a 'character'.

    Hang on, are you a man or a woman? If you're a woman, just go. You won't be on your own for long!

    Really? You think drinking and driving is a good idea?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35 OisinS94


    I absolutely hate when I want to go for a drink but no one else wants to. :(

    But your a girl so it won't be so bad, although you'd probably be more likely to be hit on if you're on your own (not sure whether this is good or bad for you), but at least it might give you some company.

    You might want to re-phrase that.

    The first thing that popped into my mind was that you were bent over a pool table by a horse.

    C'mon, if you want to go out, go out. No one is actually going to give a crap if you are alone.

    You are the one who gives a crap about it.

    Go for pints.

    Can someone call me an ambulance? I've fallen of my chair from laughing and now I can't get up.

    Regardless of gender I think its usually a little awkward. Maybe I should just go to the pub, dance like a lunatic and wear a jump suit

    Would you like to look like a perverted weirdo? Do you want to go out for the alcohol, the craic or to meet a man and make wild love? Or all 3?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,269 ✭✭✭3rdDegree


    OP, It sounds like you want a drink, not company. Get loads of cans in, drink it all while listening to The Love Zone on Q102, call a few ex-girlfriends and then pass out.

    By the way, if your ex-girlfriends are out, be sure to leave a message.

    Alcohol and Craic is what I'm looking for. Perverted weirdos can look hot

    What wouldn't let you play at all or just give you a beating at the pool. I used to be fairly good at it so it is a good way to go into a bar on your own and pass a few hours. Many a monday night was spent like that.

    No, any time I got on the pool table I was told to get back down again.:mad:

    Could you not just go to some of the places you normally go and hope to bump into people you know.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,691 ✭✭✭michellie


    I don't think I've ever seen a girl/woman/laaady out drinking on her own!

    Why don't any of these fine boards dublin folk ask the lady out ?

    You won't look perverted or weird. You'll just look like a Billy No-Mates.
