I am going on a third date this week.

I really like this girl, I want to take her somewhere cool, were we can get to know each other better - somewhere different and not a pub.

Any ideas in or around Dublin?

Sheep Lover

A nice stroll in the Wicklow mountains?

Evocative

Graveyard?

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Take her for a spin up the mucky passage.

The_Valeyard

Dinner, cinema, Bray to greystones walk, the zoo.

any good websites for this type of thing?

heard there was an outdoor cinema on last week in Merrion sq

Gwynplaine

Don't bring a full tank into battle.

Dun Laoghaire market in the People's Park on Sunday.

If the weather is nice it's great.

Can grab some lunch in the park followed by a Teddy's ice cream/walk the pier/swim at the Forty Foot.

Cinema is a crappy idea for a date. You're just sat there doing precisely what you shouldn't be doing - not talking. mailforkev has the right idea.

You should impress her by showing how you can coordinate yourself. Simply knock your elbows together and try to lick your ear. Works like a charm.

thee glitz

Go on a literary walk (possibly pubs involved).

What did you do for the first two dates and how did they go?

What's her personality like? What are her interests? Has she done time? Etc.

Dating tips:
1) Don't ask the people of AH for social, interpersonal or sexual advice. The most hardcore regulars have no life, friends or partner other than AH-users.
2)Put a rolled-up pair of socks down the front of your pants. Putting them down the back makes it look like you've sh*t your pants.
3) I threw a woman into the Lough in Cork one night/morning because "it felt like the right thing to do". Don't do that.

The walk home is very lonely though.

Filmer Paradise

Have a wash.

Look presentable.

Don't be nervous, Chicks like a confidence in a Dude.

Be yourself, don't talk about yourself too much (unless asked) & ask after her her family (be sure to remember the names of her siblings/parents etc). Chicks love talking about themselves.

If she wants to go to the pub, so be it. Drunk Chicks have a tendency to 'put out'.;)

Job done. Sorted!:)

Buy one, get one free at McD's. Get in there, son! :cool:

Chicks? Dude?

Are you auditioning for a role in a remake of Grease or something?

Merrion

Ask her if she has anywhere she'd like to go?

osarusan

Say this:

I find you attractive. Your aggressive moves toward me... indicate that you feel the same way. But still, ritual requires that we continue with a number of platonic activities... before we have sex. I am proceeding with these activities, but in point of actual fact, all I really want to do is have intercourse with you as soon as possible.


Are you gonna slap me now?

Medusa22

I think it's nice that you are trying to think of something different OP. How about crazy golf (in Dundrum shopping centre) or bowling? There is a leisureplex in Tallaght.

KungPao

Weather permitting, how about a few Tennents by the Liffey? A doner kebab afterwards...will knock her bandy, my son.

It's been a while since I've been on the dating scene admittedly..

The fashions may change, but the end goal remains the same.;)

The Opera?

Bowling is great as it causes many many natural breaks in the conversation which gives you more time to think of witty or well thought out replies and things to say - which you do not get as easily in - say - a restaurant or something.

What about something with an activity like rock climbing,go karting,bowling or something touristy like the zoo,guiness store house or the wax museum.

Both give you stuff to talk about if it gets awkward and most people haven't done a lot of the tourist attractions in their own city.

The ghost bus is fun aswell or stand up comedy nights like the international,ha'penny inn or the laugther lounge.

Mini golf in Dundrum is another drink free option and you get to talk and have some friendly competition.

They had the sex.

suicide_circus

Chain smoke during the entire date. This will let her know you are cool and not to be trifled with.

Don't try to be 'whacky' and 'zany' like some of the earlier posters on this thread. If you aren't naturally funny then don't try and force it. It's embarrassing for all involved.

Oooooh, bad experience?

Dublin Zoo.

The Corinthian

A long, long time has passed since I was a penniless student, so I've no idea if his still works, but back then one thing I did was buy the Irish Times on a Saturday and read the gallery listing in the supplement.

So, for example, one listing might say "Gallery X: retrospective by John Smith, opens Thursday" and this meant that the opening, and reception, as Wednesday at 6pm at the same venue.

Then I'd dress smartly (jacket, shirt, optional tie) and ask my date to do likewise and bring her to it, aiming to arive at about 6:20pm. No one ever checked for invites, especially if you walked in with a casual attitude that you 'belonged'.

Bit of culture, free (if generally nasty) booze and an environment where you end up getting to know each other in between looking at the commercial pieces of crap that private Dublin galleries try to flog off to the corporate sector. Worked a treat.
