    I have a theory on the lack of lovin' in UCD.....girls!

    Simply if girls went out and went up to guys and made moves then we would double the chances of romance in UCD!

    Come on girls, give it your best shot!

    Excellent work TheVan. Got your thinking cap on. Now all you need to do is take off your ugly* cap and you're away.

    Actually you did it right. I was only wondering whether anybody had found romance in the college. I see so many hot girls in this place but it's difficult to get the chance to talk to them.

    I mean, how do you break the ice to begin with?

    "Hello" usually works. And then just talk casually. They're not looking for a one line chat up line that sweeps them off their feet. Just be yourself!

    Hello seems awkward around a complete stranger though don't you think? If I'm sitting beside an attractive girl I'd rather ask her a question about something than just say 'Hi' but maybe that's just me? :confused:

    Oh were shall I start with the UCD dating scene......
    Back when I was a bashful first year I really liked our class rep.We hung out loads but i was way to shy to make a move.Anyway med ball night was on fireworks night,so the whole class was having a great time dancing when class rep came up to me and said do you want to go outside for a breath of fresh air.So we were outside talking under this willow tree,he offered me his jacket and then we kissed.And then to top it off fireworks went off in the distance so we stopped to watch them,quite magical really.But then i kinda went off him so we broke up.

    Went out with another guy who I fancied since 2nd year,always used to see him round college.Then in 3rd year by coincidence I lived with a girl who knew him.So one day I went up to him really drunk in the student bar and started trying to be all witty and funny but I probably was saying stupid things!:o Anyway,must have said something alright cos a year later he asked me out!

    Is one of them Tommy?

    If you can't turn to someone, smile, and say "Hello" then there's sadly no hope for you. A smile will get you much further than "Did you get those notes from tutorial?"

    The only converting of females you can do is to lesbianism

    I would agree with you when outside college but in college everyone seems so uptight and self-absorbed. Like they have the weight of the world on their shoulders. They don't look like they'd welcome a hello.

    Maybe it's worth trying out though I suppose.

    We could all have a go in the run up to Valentine's and see if we can change our situations!

    Sorry to hear that panda, think you would've done a really good job. Are you absolutely sure you won't reconsider?

    On-topic: I dunno which option to pick in the poll. I mean, I'm single now, but I've gone out with a few while in UCD. So in a sense I have found romance. But... It sucked, tbh. Probably one of the reasons I'm so f**ked up. And I'm single now so... F**k it, I'll choose that one.
