K, here goes..

Take her to the Triskel Arts centre, theres always always something good going on there. Take her to an early exhibition/play.. or something.

Then, step out the back of the Triskel straight into Long Island, the sexiest bar in Cork, with the absolute best cocktails, get her a strawberry mojito

Then walk down grand parade, down the south mall (it'll be gorgeus, don't worry, its a lovely part of the city). You're heading towards the Boardwalk, an absolutely perfect restaurant for a date; relaxed, friendly, but professional, tasty and they have live cocktail lounge piano playing every weekend night. Then when yer finished dinner, walk her down by the coffee pod (outside the Clarion) right on the quays, and, well, just chill..;)

And if the mood strikes, yer surrounded by hotels..:p:p:p

Very precise....thank you! Wait a minute, you wouldn't happen to be the girl I'm actually going on the date with, trying to drop a hint?? :eek:

I wonder where the old romanticism has gone...isn't a dinner together and a stroll (and maybe a pint in a cozy place) enough for you young people?
Darn... :rolleyes:

Not for today's high-maintainance girls!

I should probably just go into the corner now.

Ah there's no reason for that, especially since I changed my sig!

Nice Sig

Why thank you, I thought it summed up Boards perfectly!;)

That, and it was a better sig than a pic of me doing one of my creepier smiles...

As a girl I wont go out with a man that needs more than a dinner and a stroll to make me feel "woah". (ehm...obviously there could be something more involved but...I am a shy lady and won't say about that)
And if was a boy I woudn't go even near a so called "high maintenance" stuff.

I am old fashion like that.
LOL

I get what you mena Tire, but there is really nothing to do in Cork for dates Me and the ex, found that - we used to go on road trips a lot, ended up at that pet sanctuary place near Killarny once, such a fun day out

mhmm first dates in Cork aren't great It seems dinner/cinema is the staple date for it, which lacks originality. I'm not asking for the sun, moon and stars but something different

So how did last night CommieBaz? You looked like you were having fun anyway and you were certainly dressed to impress fair play!

Tirabaralla

How is it possible that you always know something, Kingtut?

My thoughts exactly!

Anyway, I can't give all the details right now (I only have a limited amount of time on the net today) but suffice to say it was a brilliant night, with a bit of a bittersweet ending. If ye really wanna know, I might type up the night's proceedings tomorrow.
