Does an explosion happen if there's a fire in the room ?

LOL I can rattle windows:)

Met this bird out one night years ago. Lot of pints on board and we ended up in that Manhattan place off Harcourt Street for a late feed. Swapped numbers and arranged to meet the following night to see a flick.

Turned up at the Savoy and immediately we both realised this was a mistake. I had no interest and she had less. Time to kill before the movie so had a pint in Madigan's. Basic conversation went south as she wouldnt even tell me what she did for a living!

As we were takling our seats for the movie she says "This isnt working out, maybe I should go". To be polite I said we should at least watch the movie while secretly hoping she would **** off. She didnt and the movie lasted 2 and a half excruciating hours!

Awkward wouldnt even begin to describe it. When I see that movie on tv now it brings it all back!

Which reminds me of another "date" a few years back. I was renting out my place and this Polish couple arrived to look at it and brought their friend who was an absolute stunner. Texted the potential tenant to ask for her friends number and we met up a few days later at the old Harp Bar.

I bought the first round, obviously but then when both glasses were empty there was an awkward silence so getting impatient went up and got another in. Then deja vu she wouldnt divulge what she did for a living either!! Eventually she said she was a massage therapist. Mmm. Anyway she did finally buy a round and after I walked her back to the Luas never heard from her again!

You live and learn.

Maybe its not as bad as some of the ones on here but fairly awkward at the time.
When I had turned 18 my parents finally gave me the keys and insurance to their car, as I was begging for it constantly we agreed that I would give one months pocket money for it (was just about to go to uni). Fair enough I though seeing as I hassled them to death about it.
Anyway I had just started dating a girl who had been dumped a few weeks prior and I had told her that I've got a car now so lets go into Galway for dinner.
After agreeing for the no money for a month thing I had just enough to go to mcdonalds with her and a walk through Salthill.
Well the shouting and abuse I got the moment I explained why we were going to mcdonalds. Needless to say she began comparing me to her ex and how he was much better etc.
Being 18 I hadnt much experience so I was just left in speechless, still bought her the fecking cheeseburger though.
Still got the ride that night and never heard from her again

Another one was a girl I met in uni. After a few months we agreed to meet up in a pub on Shop Street. I was first in and after a bit she arrived wearing tracksuit trousers and a baggy jumper. Right turn on.
After getting the first round in, she breaks down. Starts crying her eyes out. I asked what was wrong and that if she isnt having fun I can get her a taxi and no worried.
She opens her wallet and inside is a picture of her mum, she had died about 10 years before. I told her sorry and what began was just an awkward silence especially as she didnt want to talk about it. Fair enough I thought, but why bring it up in the first place.
Anyway, I liked her so we continued the date and also kept in contact. What ensued was just hell, following me around, asking who I'm with etc and after about a month or 2 of this I told her that it wasnt going to work out and to be just friends.
Remember the car I mentioned above? Well as a result of the "break-up" it was left with 1 flat tyre and scumbag written on a note left on the windscreen... Parents weren't best pleased with that.
Got dirty looks from her for months after that

Yeah in hindsight I wasn't thinking with my head but she was mad for eating out and thats all I could have afforded.
May have dodged the bullet with the second girl but not with my father when I told him that needed to bring me a new tyre

Met with a woman off a dating site once, the woman that turned up was my actually my wife!

Oh the hilarity that ensued.

Did she like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain?

had to, she would have got out the car and left the door open for the potential assailants.

This is a joke right?

With good reason. What the hell were you thinking, putting a woman in a headlock for no reason? No wonder she called the Gardai, you attacked a virtual stranger and tried to force her to stay in your car.

Do you use the Deliverance theme as your ringtone, by any chance?

don't think there was any women attacked in deliverance.

But anyway, it was the heat of the moment, if you're trying to restrain someone you could do worse than a 'good old fashioned' (headlock).

Already explained why it had to be done.

You basically assaulted a helpless woman. I seriously thought this was an attempt at black humour but this doesn't seem the case.
Are you surprised she ran the other way? Also, could you not warn her that there are shady characters around? Weird that you didnt want those 6 lads coming to the car but I think she would have been safer with them.

If you pushed someone out of the way of oncoming traffic, would that be assault?
if getting someone in a headlock for the sake of their own safety is assault then i should have been charged, but I wasn't.
