    anybody looking to make new friends ?

    35 year old north dub guy , all my friends just stay in the same pub every single week ( no kidding ) thats not for me , im looking just to make new connections to hit pub with or cinema etc all innocent , meetup seens to be orientated to certain dates they meet up etc

    Meet up is really good i think though, Ive gone to a few and there nice because you are never really stuck to find anyone to go out with, I just went to a new one last weekend and had a really nice time, and they are going to Killarney soon so im going to that now aswell, Im also joined to macra which isn't bad either. There would probably be loads in Dublin because there are a good few in Cork. :):)

    Fair play for actually going aswell to speed dating....

    My ego wouldn't be any Bit able for it....do you find it tough to talk about yourself etc

    Or is it waaay different in real life than on TV

    I found it a bit awkward to start with. The first woman was absolutely gorgeous and I was tripping over my words a bit. But we laughed it off and I was able to carry on. Really thought I'd match with at least someone.

    I know it's not much help now....but fair play to her for being sound and up for the laugh
    Imagine if it went terrible at the start and downhill from there!!
    I guess some were prob not really looking...maybe only there as support to a friend??
    (Though I might have a horrible cliched view on it)

    Would ya do it again....you never see the likes of that arranged for waterford...though I guess after two runs they'd run out of people :pac:

    It's possible, some of the women seemed to know each other. So they may not have been looking anyway (a friend did suggest this to me afterwards).

    I might do it again, haven't really thought about it yet.

    It's a horrible scene to be getting over involved with....I wish you the best :)
    You seem a top bloke




    Though tbh I'm still not rightly in the headspace for it....was half tempted to download tinder earlier....but I'm pure glad now I didn't

    I know il have to do something at some stage...but I'm seriously questioning the effort vs reward scale at the min

    Aw yeah it's hard, have gone a couple of times now, have matched with an odd guy here and there. But don't be too dis-heartened ya have to take it with a pinch of salt. But also even with a couple of matches, when it came to it, they weren't up for meeting again afterwards or arranging any dates. :confused::rolleyes: So I dunno if they were just filling up the Dating-Cards on the night for the sake of it or what!

    I find Meetup okay. Do go to a couple of things. But also the more ya go ya start to recognize faces and it's nice for things to kind-of become familiar in a way I think. Golly Dubland out of everywhere should be the best County to find a date in! But I see what yer saying about friends sticking with same Local usual Haunt and what-not. There is 2/3 Singles Groups on Meetup in the Dublin area though. I'm in them! Havn't gone on any of their Meetups yet but I might sometime.

    course you can, we met in a training centre for people with Asperger's when I was 19, he started a few months after me. We became friends and remained so, until things changed around Christmas last year when we both got up the courage to ask each other out.

    He lives around 40 minutes away from me so not too bad. We normally meet up at the weekends as I'm in college during the week :)

    Same here! But as a friend said to me, there's no reward without effort. How much effort is too much effort though right??

    I've never been to a singles night in my life. I'd be so so nervous!!! I don't think there is any in the Waterford area tho so I'd have to travel a bit to find one me thinks!

    I've been a few times great craic!!

    McGowans in general is an exceptional night spot, normally Friday or Saturdays is a great laugh but not for your shy type or anyone looking for a 'Lilly's' or Sams bar type experience!!!
