Help make true love a reality!

Alright guys firstly no point in sex jokes or trying to burst my bubble. I've fallen in love. Head over heels.

I'm currently on date #2 with this girl and I think she quite likes me. Only problem is that her ex broke her heart and now wants her back. I actually think I'm in with a shot of wiping the floor with this guy so I need the boards.ie crowd to help me out!

I've got her for a lunch break tomorrow and need to blow her away with my date plan. She's quite into culture, so any suggestions would be awesome. Needs to be around the Trinity college area in Dublin!

Thanks for all the suggestions in advance

There's biology labs in Trinity I'd say they'll loan you a petri dish.

It's many moons since I have been on a date, however I am of the opinion less is more. Keep it simple. Picnic in park. Only few dates in after all.

tritium

You say she's into culture

You're near trinity college, home of the book of kells, next to the national gallery, down the road from the museum. In the general area of Georgian Dublin.

Nah, can't think of anything....

Two dates in, you're head over heels in love, she it seems is already telling you about her ex and how he broke her heart and wants her back. Hmmmm. Well I wish you luck. You never know.

so I need the boards.ie crowd to help me out!

National gallery. National museum. Natural history museum is usually worth a punt. It's a museum of a museum.

laserlad2010

I accept the cynicism but it came up as we both have exes in the background!

First date was in the history museum...

And yes I am well aware of the usual culture haunts around the place.... Silly of me to hope that the boards crowd might have had a few gems up their sleeves

Money not an issue... Constrained by time tho 1 hour

Viking Splash Tour is a bit of craic- kinda "cultural" aswell.. €20 at ticket though

A romantic walk along the Liffey boardwalk at sunset.

The Dagda

You're "CURRENTLY" on date no. 2?!!

Get off the fecking phone and pay attention to yer wan! True love my arse!!

addob

If it's a nice day what about a walk around Merrion Square (did you know that there's a collection of light posts there so could be a little bit different than just a museum) and like others suggested a picnic?

I'd like that - from a girl

Well to be fair this is AFTER HOURS. If you wanted sincere help you should have tried elsewhere.

But try a quick bit to eat and a walk around St. Pats Cathedral and a bit of lunch on the green.

Chance The Rapper

Combine the above if the weather is decent, national gallery and head into trinity and have a picnic on the grass !

Best of luck!

Robin132

Dublin castle is only up the road, and very few irish people ever bother to visit it. There are some events on in the castle for the summer, not sure if there is anything on today worth a look to ye but have a look http://www.dublincastle.ie/media/Dublin%20Castle%20Summer%20Season%202014.pdf

There is also a park where you could have a picnic/lunch or the Chester Beatty Library do some lovely lunches.

That'll be a very late lunch so.

PizzamanIRL

Bring her into the dental hospital and get her wide open mouth x-rayed so you can see how much of your laserlad she can take.

MugMugs

Liquid lunch, lose track of time, end up in Diceys Garden, on to Coppers......... Wrap up about 3am, into Zaytoons and spill it down the front of your shirt.

SORTED !

You'll be beating her off with a hairy stick after that !

ebbsy

If you splash the cash she might flash her gash.

Raminahobbin

If you only have an hour it's a bit mad to take her into a gallery or museum- I'd hate to feel rushed walking through one of those.

Just take her for a picnic in Merrion Square or the Iveagh Gardens. Have a chat. Save the other stuff for when you have more time. If the weather is ****, depending on the time of day, go somewhere like the Vintage Cocktail Club or the Tea Gardens.

donegal__road

you will need more than an hour for this, but it will do for again...

Hugh Lane gallery

Chester Beatty Library always has interesting exhibitions on, you can try there

Chance The Rapper

+1 for Tea Gardens, but make sure it's early evening, because if you're too late in its full of couples dryhumping and looks fairly dodgy if you didn't know it

Hugh Lane gallery

Him: Fancy going to the Hugh Lane gallery?

Her: Okay...what's on there?

Him: An exhibition by Eva Rothschild. In Eva Rothschild’s work, the formal values of modernism and its ideas of utopia are inverted. The history of 20th century abstract art is deconstructed through her installations and through the materialism of her objects they become inquiries into how we as humans develop structures (both physical and metaphoric) to support our values. Rothschild manages to deliver sensation, memory, perception, personal idiosyncrasies and diverse cultural traditions, through the transformation of everyday materials into alien artifacts.

Her: Okay, let's go.

Him (in the Hugh Lane): An eloquent admiration of ancient cultures can be discerned through the art historical references of Egyptian and Roman civilisations as well as minimalism and constructivism, but also the influence of American artists Robert Morris and Cady Noland can be seen. Now let's go somewhere and f*ck.

Duggy747

Bring her to an S&M Bondage session and get her to whip you or to give you a few kicks in the ribs.

At the risk of stating the obvious... box of wine down in front of the Pav with a blanket to throw over yourselves for privacy.

Culturey as fvck, and as romantic as the day is long.

Name the first kid Strobe by way of thanks.

Leprechaun Museum.

You have an hour and it's for lunch. Maybe try just getting lunch? Somewhere nice / different. Any activity in the space of an hour is going to be difficult.

on_my_oe

Personalised walking tour? You could get a guide to do a quick 40min one leaving time for a sandwich al fresco...

Seriously though, a picnic would be grand - it's only an hour after all!

Good luck

--LOS--

You really can't do much in an hour, if you had longer I would say Iveagh gardens but you should probably just grab some food and sit outside in trinity, on the green or something. I hope the first date was longer! Is this date 2 or 3 tomorrow, how are you in love after one date

Do not go mad, but you are ideally positioned, I would pick the Iveagh gardens near the water get two gourmet sandwiches.. and this is the important bit a snip of champagne, make sure to bring two real champagne glasses it looks classy and a snip between ye wont do any harm.

Then buy her a book something like the saying of Oscar Wild or a book about historical walks in Dublin, they you can say that walk around Georgian Dublin looks interesting we could do it Sunday:D

I guarantee you she will be impressed

You've only been on one date and there's already been talk of exes, and not only that but there's also ex drama already?

I sincerely hope you are both 15 year olds.

Whatever you've got going with this girl it sounds like a load of horse-sh t to me.

Also, if she's into culture and you're not, prepared to spend whatever time you have left together bored out of your tree.

But I wish you both a lifetime of happiness.

Its a sunny day give up the cynicism.

Women like it when a man is up front about his intentions. I'd say skip the culture and just cut to the chase.

You need to drop trou, gesture towards the family jewels and say "Interested?" with a charming wink and an arched eyebrow.

It's overcast where I am so feck off! :mad:

Does all seem a little full on mind you. Ahhh love's young dream and all that. I remember it well. The idea of "winning her" and such. Never really understood that bit mind you. It is or should be a two way street. She's not some sort of prize. Always thought that was quite objectifying of women actually. She's a prize you win by pressing button A, B and C in the right order. She also has to "win" you over and just a pretty face and the pleasure of her company isn't enough.

laserlad2010

Many thanks for the suggestions guys!

A sincere thanks to those negative contributors for reminding me that there are still people in this world who are alone and unloved, probably surrounded by cats.

I'm into culture as well, the purpose of this was to get ideas on something left field.

And although I remember being 15 like it was yesterday... It wasn't yesterday. I've been around the block a few times and this is completely different. In the world of instant communication a thousand texts can exchange when one date might occur.

Anyway I couldn't give a flying f**k. Might get a handjob at least!

stmol32

The wax museum, that's cultural right?
