So I brought a girl to the swimming pool for a first date...

    I remember someone saying one time that if a girl always wears a lot of makeup, and she does, that a good idea to see what they truly look like without it is to go swimming with them. So when I suggested it she seemed a little sceptical at first but then seemed excited. Happy days, I thought. I'll get to see if she's actually still attractive without all that help.

    When it came to it, I was in an out of the changing room in a flash and ran and dived right into the pool, like anyone would. About 10 minutes later she finally came out and walked over to the ladder and began climbing in. Slowly. Extremely slowly. When she got in, she kept her neck out of the water. At all times. For the entire swim. She wouldn't swim at all, just waddled around with her neck above water and refused to go to the deep end. When I asked if she was even able to swim she said she's a great swimmer but doesn't want to get her 'hair' wet.

    Who goes into a pool with the aim to not get their hair wet? I went to the deep end on my own to gather my thoughts on how to end the date painlessly for both of us there and then but honestly ended up panicking and got out of the pool and shouted at her from the other end "I-I'm just gonna go to the toilet." I got dressed and left.

    I feel kind of bad. Should I apologise and try to end up sleeping with her then get a shower together instead? In hindsight, this would've been a much simpler solution in the first place.

    So... you got her to take her clothes off for the first date and you were worried about her not getting her hair wet?

    Ask the life guard how long she hung around for in the pool waiting on the jerk who left her! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,186 ✭✭✭Nichololas


    You should have pretended to drown to see if she would try and rescue you. May have even gotten some mouth-to-mouth out of it.

    Not many people get people undressed for the date itself.

    Did they not sell swimming caps? Should have got out and invested in one.

    I suspect she may just be as well off without you. Not nice.

    Your whole post is a metaphor right? The swimming pool represents the dating scene and the deep end represents the lonliness you feel being unable to meet someone nice while the girls hang around the cooler shallow end?

    Hope you wore a swimming cap.

    Apparently not, she's trying to setup date 2 but I haven't responded.

    Lash a rubber on her head let her know where the night is going :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,889 ✭✭✭✭The Moldy Gowl


    Should have brought her to the steam room.

    Make up would have melted off and she would have lost some unslightly pounds, since you are so fixated on other people's affirmations on your bae


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,000 ✭✭✭fizzypish


    lol. This is brilliantly silly. If she wears so much make up that your not sure if she has a nice face why did you ask her out in the first place? AND then got the brain storm to ask her out for a wash? And then ran away? You couldn't write this stuff.... or could you....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,866 ✭✭✭✭bear1


    Cool story brahh...

    Maybe she genuinely didn't want to get her hair wet? Mad I know.
    Or she didn't want to swim around as it is your first date and she wanted to get to know you better.
    The makeup thing is a stupid test to have on the first date, do you wear deoderant when you met here? Did you dress nicely?
    She wore makeup, whoppdedo, but to abandon her in a swimming pool like a child because she wouldn't get her hair yet makes you look like the catch of the century.
    What a man we have here.

    She seems a "nice" person.

    Can i have her number OP ? i think i might have some volcano insurance i want to sell her..... :pac:

    So what weird and unusual pool did you drag this poor girl to just to get her make up off that allowed her in the pool without the proper swimming cap?

    Yu walked out on her mid-date and she is trying to arrange date number two?

    Only a few men are worth getting your hair wet for .Sorry op you didn't make the cut ðŸ˜႒

    I didn't consider that actually. You could be right. Now you have me considering just letting her set it all up and act normal but to just not actually go, that way she wouldn't be humiliating me.

    Confirmed.

    OP is a either a dick or a troll.

    either way this thread stinks .............. of chlorine !

    If she's attractive with make up on she's hardly going to look like Freddy Kruger without it, I don't see why this investigation was necessary.

    Or any man with an ounce of experience has a good idea what a woman will look like without makeup. Though I did stipulate an ounce of experience so maybe I'm in the wrong thread.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    To be fair, some can come as a shock au natural. Make up can transform a face. Especially the eyes. Well done it can turn pee holes in the snow into a manga look.

    She is trying to get you to a pre arranged location so her 5 brothers and kick the stuffing out of you for being such a tool.

    I think you should go for it.

    Why do people make things so complicated, OP what about simply asking why did you agree to go swimming with me if you didn't want to get your hair wet.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,253 ✭✭✭witchgirl26


    To be honest, I would have thought you just swimming off & not talking to her at all was worse behaviour on a first date than her not wanting to get her hair wet. Maybe she actually wanted to have a conversation with you on your first date. Shock I know but it does happen!

    And she might have said she could swim but maybe she was bluffing & can't. Or isn't comfortable out of her depth but didn't want to seem a spoilsport by turning down your suggestion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 402 ✭✭damemcd


    Maybe if you accidentally drowned yourself .......it would have done her and the rest of us a huge favour...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,745 ✭✭✭Macavity.


    May as well go on a second date, nothing to lose.

    Why did you not dive under and grab her by her legs and drag her down under the water for a "joke",that way you could see her with her make-up running,her hair wet,AND at the same time find out if she has a anger management problem,


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I applaud the OP for catching her out. The world is full of calculating women, trying to trick men by making the most of their looks. How dare they make themselves look their best? Sneaky bitches.

    I'm glad you're too smart to have the wool pulled over your eyes OP, lucky escape there. Well done. It's hard to find perfection outside of the mirror, eh?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 565 ✭✭✭bluestrattos


    if the first date was a failure with the swimming pool idea, bring her to some place where you can have a squirt gun fight, and be sure to aim for her face

    * don't read this post with a dirty mind :o *

    the fact she's chasing a second date, after what happened, makes me think she might had lost a bet with her friends...

    Real story:
    OP went to the pool, annoyed a load of people by repeately jumping in. Perved at any female and got red carded by any he approached. Only true part of the story is that he went home on his own
