I doubt it very much. I'm not sure what "here" actually is. The online dating forum might be worth a shot? There's a thread over in the helpdesk where you can ask for access.

Hahaha no I'm okay, I was just asking out of curiosity

No but you should try it. What have you to lose, eh?

Trebor176 · 28-02-2017 7:42pm

I'm really thinking of asking a new girl in work out. My only fear is awkwardness, if she declines. I know workplace romances are common enough, but they come at a risk. She's a lovely girl anyway. There has been no flirting or anything like that. Just good chats during lunch. I can't keep resorting to online dating. It's been failing me for too long!

Suss things out as much as possible. Try to find out if single etc. No point in making things awkward.

Have been considering it but don't think I would have anyone to go with. Is going alone to these things seen as weird?

No mention of a bf. She is moving up to Dublin with a friend in the next few days, so it does look like she's single. I'll try to bring it up somehow

Yeah you're probably right. I'm just very shy, not sure it would work out well for me but I guess if I never try I'll never know.

misstearheus · 01-03-2017 8:22pm

Have gone Speeddating a few times now. Most people guys and ladies rock up to the Venue alone. A handful do bring others with them. But most people walk in on their own. There might be a teeny bit of mingling at the start, - walking around to other tables to say hi, but a lot of the time people are just getting seated and going to get a drink at the Bar so there isn't really that much chatting going on at the start anyway. I.m.e. it's always held on a week night anyway so there isn't much socialising or mingling going on as a lot leave straight away, but, I have seen an odd time where all/most of the lads that attended stay on at the Bar afterwards for a pint.

If you would be able to muster up the courage to go on your own I would advise you to go even just to experience it. It's a laugh and a bitta craic!

Jack the Stripper · 03-03-2017 3:50am

Sounds like cattle being sold at a mart.

PaddyWilliams · 13-03-2017 1:30pm

So, I'm single so I guess this is the thread for me! It's my birthday too so that's another reason to be down

:D

Trebor176 · 22-04-2017 2:51pm

Well, this thread has been extremely quiet of late. Can I assume that most contributors are no longer single?

Are you going brand new? If you don't mind me asking, what's your budget?

Brand new, budget is between €30,000 to €40,000

Trebor176 · 22-04-2017 10:18pm

I'd say you'd be looking at a saloon, such as an A3, A4, or maybe even a 3-Series. Though, you'd get large enough saloons for that price range. Golfs can fall into that range too. You could even opt for a range topping Hyundai Tuscon, Santa Fe or something like that.

Don't like Audi's except R8, not a golf fan either

Yea I don't mind.

Trebor176 · 22-04-2017 10:46pm

How about something like the new SEAT Ateca, Skoda Kodiaq, Hyundai Tuscon, Ford Kuga, or even a range topping CX-3? Some sort of mid-sized hot hatch maybe, if you're looking for fun?

Tucson is only 1.7, Kodiaq i was looking at won't be available until July, Cx-3 abit small much prefer Cx-5 but doesn't really gets my heart racing

Might hold out for the new civic type r

Hugo Stiglitz · 22-04-2017 10:59pm

I'll have no CX3 bashing!

The Civic's suspension is meant to be rock hard, so it's probably something to be aware of.

Evening all the single folks.

Auto you prob. already have done but I would suggest asking the peeps over in the Motors Forum for assistance.

All good here. No marriage on the cards!

I am heading out on a work night out soon, but I'm not holding out hope of meeting someone! Still, a gorgeous colleague will be out with us, but the whole workplace relationships thing has made me reluctant to ask her out. Potential awkwardness and all that. . .

misstearheus · 05-05-2017 7:27pm

Wouldn't personally intentionally ask someone out at work. Certainly not if she's relatively new. Just continue to keep building up a natural rapport with her for now.

Eircom_Sucks · 10-05-2017 12:24am

Anybody about fri/sat for a few friendly drinks in town
