Was alcohol involved when meeting your current partner?

I'd be drinking heavy whenever I'm on a night out and I'd have a naggin before any date I have. I'd take a benzo/thenzo instead, but they are hard to get hold of most of the time.

That.....that....*rechecks fingers* .....THAT MEANS YOU DATED FOR TWO YEARS BEFORE GETTING MARRIED!!!!

Hmm. Yes extremely short for Irish standards

Most Irish blokes date for at least 10 years before being dragged to the alter :pac:

A naggin before a date?

That's mad

Not sure if my story would be classified as having drink or not. Got talking through boards, met up, got drunk and kissed. So drink was involved but once we had already gotten to talk to each other.

That's mad

And for job interviews.

Chancer3001 · 06-12-2014 08:44PM

Good idea

No, we were both sober.

I wish I was drunk now though because he is blaring some action movie exceptionally loudly from the other room and driving me crazy. :pac:

Auldloon · 06-12-2014 08:58PM

Yes I asked her if she'd like to have a threesum with me and my then girlfriend....she said no but was obviously impressed!

Tarzana2 · 06-12-2014 09:01PM

He was drunk, I was not. I'd only had a couple of drinks. Literally a couple of drinks, not the Irish version of a couple where it's actually 5+. :pac: If I was also drunk it probably would have gone nowhere. We may not have even got talking because I'm a horribly messy drunk. He's a fairly contained drunk so I didn't even realise he was.

Satriale · 06-12-2014 09:33PM

I may have had a pint or two, but it was only to try and bring me down a bit off the fistful of yokes.

Steve_o · 06-12-2014 09:55PM

In a pub but hadn't been drinking!

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 06-12-2014 10:21PM

No were friends from when we were really young.

Shenshen · 06-12-2014 10:35PM

No, we met online.

There first time we met offline, he had been driving up to Dublin to meet me, I had cooked dinner but had no alcohol.

We're neither of us great drinkers.

Aidric · 06-12-2014 10:38PM

First encounter yes as met her in a club. First date not a drop.

I've known him about ten years so couldn't say for sure if alcohol was involved when we met, but there was definitely a lot of dutch courage required the night I cross-eyedly roared at him "I've always liked you you know" and lobbed the gob. Vaguely remember falling into a bush on the way home too. Oh well, it all worked out in the end.

When you say cross- eyedly ? Is it possible he thought you were roaring at someone else ?

Nevertheless tis grand romantic story .

But seriously, op, or anyone out there wondering how to get a lady to smell your willy.

Tea! If you are out and want to bring a girl home, I'm guessing she is drunk enough at that stage so don't offer her more alcohol. Offer her tea and a movie. No one will say no that, of she does say to have beer.

No self respecting girl will turn down tea and a Disney movie at 4 in the morning after sipping on bad decision juice for the evening. Then lob the gob and stick it inside her

I never knew that tea was code for come back and ride me before and turned down a hot girl for it one night.I genuinely thought she wanted to just have tea and I was gasping for another few bottles!ended up going out with her in the end but she thought I was allergic to her after I turned down the tea !

starlit · 07-12-2014 03:15PM

I thought that was coffee/dvd? didn't realise that dvd was code for that...

caustic 1 · 07-12-2014 03:43PM

No drink involved, I did ask him for a cigarette though, married 22 years went out 5 before that.

What if they call your bluff?what's an appropriate three in the morning , looking to get fresh movie?I take it silence of the lambs of something like that would be completely off the cards!

starlit · 07-12-2014 04:58PM

I am talking sober general flirting no drink involved situation?

I don't know what you mean by silence of the lambs situation in this case Smurgen?

NoviGlitzko · 08-12-2014 01:54PM

I've had 3 girlfriends, all met out when I was plastered.

DeadHand · 08-12-2014 02:12PM

Alcohol was a big factor in both meeting and losing her.

The problem with this is that it makes it really difficult to sincerely ask someone to come back for tea and conversation

Was alcohol involved when meeting your current partner?
