Strange girl asking me to go for a drink!

newestUser · 23-11-2006 12:43PM #1

I was walking into Trinity College last night around 11 o clock. There was a girl at the front gate, I noticed her stop a guy passing by, asking him something, and him just moving on.

She stopped me as well.

HER: "Hi, where are you going?"

ME (a little pissed, and caught off-guard): "Um, going home, I just have to..wait why are you asking me this?"

HER: "Um, do you want to go for a drink somewhere?"

ME (thinking this is all very Naked Camera): "No, you're fine thanks. Good night."

Did anyone else encounter this person?!?!?

Was she paying??

layke · 23-11-2006 12:49PM

She good Looking??

xzanti · 23-11-2006 12:50PM

Ah I'd say there was a hidden camera somewhere...

Hooker ?

eth0_ · 23-11-2006 12:52PM

She might have been a little mental.

Or...in places like Bangkok, a lot of girls lure men by making them think they are coming on to them, they go to a bar, go home with them, drug the guy and then rob him blind!

kevmy · 23-11-2006 12:52PM

Ya should have gone. I don't know about you but girls ain't asking me to go for drinks every day. Who cares if she was crazy as long as she was hot

"You're paying", can't believe you missed such an obvious chance to get some free booze.

was she a he?

Was it Maeve O Higgins?

connundrum · 23-11-2006 12:58PM

It wasn't the same girl that stands there handing out that Herald AM yoke was it? Some people just don't know when to clock out of the 'giving people free stuff' mode.

Maybe she was just lonely? If we were in America it'd be acceptable to do this.. wouldn't it? (done tell me that all the movies have been lying to me

)

Damn it you should have went and then posted the full story today so we can all live through you

Sad Professor · 23-11-2006 01:02PM

You should have gone for the laugh. Now you'll never know what she wanted

Caliden · 23-11-2006 01:05PM

Probably just free drink and a peck on the cheek.

petes · 23-11-2006 01:06PM

Best thing to do is hang around the same place every night at around 11 in the hope of meeting her again.

Hobbes · 23-11-2006 01:14PM

Probably some religous nut. Had something very similar in Boston happen to me while waiting for a train, its only because I asked her more questions it went from do you want to go for a drink to please meet all my religous nuts who will be with us.

Just follow the same rules for meeting a person for the first time.

In my day, it was only the kidneys they took. Jaysus, will I ever forget the day I woke up in a bath tub of Ice reading a message that told me I had 30 mins to get to a hospital. What a weekend! I send around an email on it.....

A shade unlikely, unless she was trying to lure you down some dark side street. The OP still hasn't said if she was nice looking though. I would probably have gone with her for the crack, just out of sheer curiosity.

B0ll0x, this is becoming very common, I believe. Similar thing happened to me...
I was walking up Dame St late one night with two male friends, and I was approached by an Irish girl, who incidentally was VERY attractive. I was drunk and in good form, so was happy to have the banter with her while I walked. I started to smell a rat though, my line of thought being that attractive legitimate girls dont usually wander up to drunken guys and engage them in leading conversation about where they live, and if they have a girlfriend etc... and I was also mindul of the fact that being clearly drunk made me an easy target. Anyway, when she continued to walk alongside me in my direction, away from where she had been, and I realised she had no friends with or near her and various other things, I knew it wasnt kosher and tried to cut the conversation short and exit stage left. Thats when she became REALLY desperate and very panicked - almost manic. I asked her what kind of trouble she was in, did she need money etc and more importanlty for my own safwety, was she being watched/followed. Long story short, we brought her into a place on Dame St. for a coffee and asked her what we could do to help her. In the space of a 5/10 minute conversation her mobile rang 4/5 times during which we could overhear short aggressive conversation from the other end. Then 3 mmmassive Eastern Eurpoean looking guys (no racism intended here - they were speaking Russiam or some other Baltic dialect) entered and walked past our table, brushed off her, stood at the door and then disappeared. It was clear they were p|mping her and letting her know that they had her clocked. She was petrifed. I suspect she was an addict as well. Anyway, she went from begging me to take her home to telling me to get away from her or I would be in danger..?!

I didnt know what to do. I rang the guards for advice, but never really expected them to be of any assistance. I tried to get an emergency Social worker number from the HSE but couldnt (no sprprise there) but did get a womens refuge number, which she wouldnt take anyway as she said her phone was checked constatntly and she'd be beaten for that. Ultimately, she left and we went on our way, but with very heavy hearts. It was very shocking to see the fear in her eyes and know what a horrific existance she had and I felt sick about not being able to do anything more constructive to help her. Incidentally she went to Alex, which not really relevant but to go from a fee paying school type background (again no genmeralisation inended) to that really reinforced to me that there but for the grace of g0d and all that.

Anyway, be very wary of going anywhere with anyone dubious like that. There very well could be two or more lads waiting to hit you up side the head and relieve you of your valuables. If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.

Case like this in the papers recently. Two guys were approached on Westmoreland St. by two girls. Invited them back to their flat, the girls left the front door of the apartment building open. A few minutes later a couple of the girls' mates burst into the flat and tied the lads up, robbed the whole place and threatened to kill them.

In the same way that girls shouldn't head off with whatever dodgy lad approaches them on the street, guys should use their heads and not think 'ah yeah - I've pulled here! I've still got it.' You don't have it, you probably never did and she (and possibly her large male friends) are out to rob you and/or do other damage to your person.

Dan133269 · 23-11-2006 03:48PM

well put Jeff Lebowski. Imagine what predicament you would have ended up in OP had you went off somewhere with her.

kevmy · 23-11-2006 03:57PM

FFS i've never seen such a bunch of negative nellies and moaning micheals in my life. We have very few isolated incidents regarding a couple of girls ripping of a few lads and suddenly you can't talk to anyone. If ya never take chances in life then ya'll never live.
If the same girl came up to ya in a pub ye wouldn't think twice about it. But because she was just standing around we get the 'oh Jesus your lucky ya weren't killed' speech. She was a little strange sure but what the hell, she was hardly a criminal mastermind!

and how the **** do you know what she was?

newestUser · 23-11-2006 04:03PM

She was allright looking. Hard to say for sure though, it was raining and she had her hood up.

Maybe I should have gone for the craic.

I'd have a more interesting story, but frankly girls approaching guys late at night on the street is *dodgy*. Perhaps I should have talked to her a bit more, but hey I had my defences up. As a previous poster stated, if it seems to good to be true, well it probably is.

I think the fact that she was had asked a guy before the op, makes it a little suspicious.

they go to a bar, go home with them, drug the guy and then rob him blind!

Cool, sounds like my kinda girl.. Everything except the eye robbing.. Although if she's ugly maybe that wouldn't be so bad. What kind of drugs are we talking about here?

Strange girl asking me to go for a drink!
