    My fav way to be attracting the irish wimmins at closing
    Time is by scent....

    Not your expensive after shave,
    Or lynx

    Simply
    Dab some vinegar around your neck and wait ...

    They can't help themselves and often run towards you and don't under stand the attraction

    It's simple, you smell like a bag of chips

    Works every time

    So, like, I'm just back from this date, with this guy, and he tried to seduce me with Narcos. I mean, seriously!? Why not just put on ****ing Hostel or Rambo for god sake. I wanted to take War and Peace of his book shelf and slap him with it. I could tell he wanted to, like, slap me with something too, but that so wasn't happening tonight, and probably won't happen in the fifth, sixth or seventh date either unless he treats me like a girl instead of one of his mates. I thought he was going to challenge me to a game of darts or ask me who should replace Roberto Di Matteo. I'll give him one more chance, because the food was fab and I haven't had French meat since that night with Pierre, but my patience is running thin.

    I wouldn't know about that. But, I do know that Heinrich Himmler was a f**king Chicken Farmer, before he got to be Reichsführer of the Schutzstaffel, and a complete chicken sh1t.

    Come to think of it? Dropping nuggets like that into my conversation is probably why I always leave the pub alone :o

    Never try to impress the opposite sex.

    Just be.

    They will either be impressed by who and what you are, or they won't.

    Bears don't count.

    Anyhoo OP- she might be waiting for you to go after her. She's probably out in the hall freezing as it's been a couple of days! Go check and bring a blanket!

    That all sounds very impressive OP. I would have definitely at least pity shagged you for the effort.

    Not sure about Narcos though. All those subtitles aren't that sexy.

    OP you schmuck...you made dinner and then you sat down to watch telly with some music to slash your wrists by on in the background.
    She'll be oh so grateful for showing you how great life will be after you're 10 years married. Go out you spa...a restaurant...a comedy club...a bar..theatre...anyfcuking thing but don't cook her some wanky french meal and then sit at opposite ends of the sofa in your bedsit watching a fcuking tv series.
    She'll be thinking that if this is what you do now how amazingly exciting will things be in years to come. NOT!!!!!

    Swap the dinner and telly for Posh restaurant and coctails and you will be on the right path.
    Were you trying to bore her in to bed?

    I personally don't see anything wrong with dinner and TV but depressing music and a drug programme may not be her style!!! maybe next time (if there is one) go for simple food and a comedy..............oh and make sure you have the wine/beer she likes!!!

    I love Narcos. But watching it on a date and then discussing the size of my hosts belly, would not be a turn on lol

    Was the taxi booked for a certain time or did she order it at a certain point during the date. If so, that was your sign lol.

    She didn't call to your gaff for no reason!

    Is this the Tinder culture nowadays? Girl comes over so you have to "pull". She didn't run away, you've done ok. Just go again.

    Tips wise:

    Nice watch
    Nice shoes
    Blue - Chanel or any Tom Ford scent

    Unsure how much of the opening post was a joke RE the book shelf and all.

    The actual show doesn't matter hugely once it's not The Hunt For Britain's Paedophiles or something, what will matter is if it isn't a socially fun experience (ie more about the interaction between you than the show). Narcos isn't exactly the most conducive option there though, I'd love to see how the two of you settled on it

    Only one thing for it OP - the next time you find a profile who wants to come to the house for a date - hidden cameras all around and then we can consider your merits and failings in minute detail :)

    For a second I thought the headline said "harassing the opposite sex..."

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Judging by the activities of many people I have observed in City Centre Pubs - there is no functional distinction between the two there either. :)

    Right, so I wake up to a text from this guy this morning. He's sweet, asking how my Halo was, and I text back saying 'I left it at home today' and a wink emoji (;)) to suggest I'm feeling a bit bold like. He has Dostoyevsky's entire bibliography in his living room so he's obviously smart enough to understand my text. We trade sexual texts back and forth, but then he invites me over for the Friday the 13th marathon tonight. Sorry but wtf like. "Soooo many murders," he writes on the text, thinking that it gets me wetter than a bag of old ice. He's gen-u-inely going to open his front door with a hockey mask and a kitchen knife in his hand, thinking he's deadly like.
