I guess some were prob not really looking...maybe only there as support to a friend?? (Though I might have a horrible cliched view on it) Would ya do it again....you never see the likes of that arranged for waterford...though I guess after two runs they'd run out of people :pac:

But also even with a couple of matches, when it came to it, they weren't up for meeting again afterwards or arranging any dates. :rolleyes: So I dunno if they were just filling up the Dating-Cards on the night for the sake of it or what! Were you living in our lovely Gaillimh for a while at some stage before over the last couple of years Auto or am I thinking of somebody else?! Aww that's lovely atc! How did you meet him if I may ask?! Does he live near or do ya see much of him? I find Meetup okay. Do go to a couple of things. But also the more ya go ya start to recognize faces and it's nice for things to kind-of become familiar in a way I think. Golly Dubland out of everywhere should be the best County to find a date in! But I see what yer saying about friends sticking with same Local usual Haunt and what-not. There is 2/3 Singles Groups on Meetup in the Dublin area though. I'm in them! Havn't gone on any of their Meetups yet but I might sometime.
