Best ways to get a date offline?

KikiLaRue

Might be better off in PI with this one but I’m interested in what AH can come up with.

Any other singles totally sick of the apps?

Most of my friends are quite settled or live far away so not a huge scope for going out... any ideas on how to meet someone offline?

Offline? just open the pegs and the dates will fall off the line

Plenty of date's in my local healthy foodie shop.

The owner looks like one of the pussy cat doll's, but she doesn't need a man to make her happy

I would agree with making friends with women too. I'm forever trying to set up my best friend with someone but she is not very happy with my efforts despite finding her great catches.

Join clubs that have mostly fellas as members. Wall climbing. Chess clubs. Bee keeping. Martial arts. Doesn't matter if you are crap at these things. Avoid clubs that are mostly women. Anything to do with writing, art, singing, yoga.

Have a few pints in Toners or O’Donohues, then head down to House.

I think a girl out in a pub on her own would be seen as quite weird... I know lads can get away with it especially if there is a match on, but I think a lady alone trying to catch the eye of a passing guy would be seen as desperate.

Do they though? Like in the US I believe it’s quite normal for a guy to approach a woman he likes in a cafe and ask her out, does that happen here?

No way ,Guards will be called.

It does if you want the girl to accuse you of harassment or unwanted sexual advances

That definitely doesn’t happen.

I was actually asked out in the street by a French guy a few weeks ago, and I just said no and then we both moved on with our lives.

Another option is go to local matches at the weekend. I seem to remember in the hazy past that there were lots of lads standing around and people are friendly.

I think the key is to not harrass or sexual assault the woman.

That would be helpful if problematic advice if I were a lesbian, but I’m actually a woman looking to meet a guy.

Go to some car shows. Any amount of lads there.

Again, this does not happen.

I am a woman. I have two sisters. I have many female friends.

No woman I know would react this way to a man politely asking her for her number or for a date.

It’s only harassment if you won’t F off if she says no.

Unless you're built like a rugby player with looks of George Clooney ( or whatever irish girls are into these days);)

A friend of mine who is on facebook got friended by a random woman months back. The other day she commented on a photo he posted that led to private messenging. Within a day they were having rampant s*x! true story!

Id agree with others here, expand your circle, youre more likely to meet someone through a friend instead of a random chance encounter.
Join a book club but do it for the love of books and meeting new people, you never know where life will lead you.

What about a thumb war ? That’s how I met my girlfriend in Langtons in Kilkenny. I was getting a drink, she was beside me I asked her would she have a thumb war with me and it went from there

If you can, go to a trad pub full of tourists. Chatting up foreign women is like playing the game of life on God mode. You can literally seduce foreign women by talking about turf. In fact I would encourage you to paddy it up (but don't get too drunk and for the love of God don't ask an American girl her opinion on Trump or gun rights).

If you work in at a large company, with a high staff turnover you'd have a shot by pure numbers. You can actually strike up conversations that don't make you come across as a sex offender.

You have no shot at a smaller work place, especially if you get to your 30s. All the best ones are gone by their mid to late 20s, male or female. Everyone over 30 either doesn't have their s**t together or has baggage.

I am 30, and yes I do indeed have some baggage. It used to be like a suitcase but now it’s quite manageable, I’d even be able to take it on Ryanair.

Would be happy to meet someone similar!

You can handle all kinds of baggage so!

You could try volunteering for a local club/cause?

Help expand your social circle as well and maybe meet new people.

Nothing ventured nothing gained ðŸ˜

1.Consult a calender. 2. Stop using americanism such as date- you will see more gash/pecker/whatever you're having yourself that way
