Deffo all in the eyes. I smoke and its always a good start (but do not take up the habit)... I was watching the match yesterday and didn't even have to put the auld gaydar in action. I don't do the scene and always manage to pull on the straight scene.
All in the eyes, but avoid looking like ya are a dirty perv coz a lot of people cant pull it off!

As I work in Dublin city centre, involving quite a bit of walking, I just adore playing the glancing game. I've become something of an expert at it, especially when lads that are quite shy. They're soo cute in trying to avoid staring back
. It's also great when you get the holy grail of the double take - true respect
What is it with checking out the shoes and trousers though?! It's hilarious, as like clockwork, they scan the face first, realise they're being checked out, then straight away scan down to the shoes and trousers to see if they're actually looking at another Ghey. I probably do the same, but it's still fun observing the practice. I suppose those fashion regions tend to offer sounder evidence, all considering.
Saying all that, I'm beyond useless at chat-ups, so keep the tips coming

I'm with ya on that one! It's all a performance from the fake tan to the panto voice, and it's a vicious circle 'cos (I'd imagine) a lot of the no-frills straight-laced guys don't go on the scene for that very reasonTbh i find the gay scene if full of fakers

Sigh :pac:
Told my mates about "Dart guy" who I liked - but who had long hair - which he later got cutIf you smoke ask someone may you use their lighter to get conversation started.
And remember, it's all in the eyes!
- who asked me if I had a light one day. Hindsight confirms that "I don't, sorry" was the wrong answer! They told me it was the most obvious chatup line, aagh! Since then I try to carry a lighter with me. Went to test the process with the mates a while back and the thing wouldn't work, gah!
COMPLETELY agree! :P I used to be rubbish and looked away whenever someone looked at me. Now I've gotten far more comfortable doing it.Deffo all in the eyes.

The double-takes are great! Now if only I could just follow through with something!! I still do the odd 'look up and over' thing, usually 'cos I do a face-feet-crotch-face-building motion, lol.
Hey maybe they're checking shoe size for comparison
D'you know something it's so exciting to be single again
Can't believe they actually have those workshops! Sounds like a great idea. Have they been on before? What's the turnout?It is what it's.

The other cute encounter is catching the casual glance of a guy at just the same moment, both quickly looking away, a moment passes as you or he moves off a bit, and then you both look back at just the same time to see if the other noticed first time round.
Oh boy, I had a beauty of an eye contact game earlier today - Cute guy in front of me on the 39A. Noticed he was looking back, turning his eyes around a bit more each time. Caught each other's glances a few times and as he was heading down the stairs we both looked over at each other. I couldn't resist a big smile - even though I'd just had two wisdom teeth out an hour beforehand, lmao! :pac:
Pleeease tell me you were him!! It is what it's.

Ah s**t, no wonder I never get anyone! My friends have told me I cant do the "bedroom eyes" thing, they tried to teach me but I failed miserably.
Then again, at 20, Ive never actually tried to pull anyone....maybe thats why Im alone......
Im destined to be alone.

Aww, Jafin always seems like such a lively chap - you just need more practice (and not the only one
)

Alas I didn't have such an encounter in the past few days. I wish I was him though, oneweb. The stairs are great aren't they? The classic stare-as-you-step down maneuver being the last bastion of the eye flirt - the final chance to confirm what you suspected all along, while getting a decent gander in in the process. Heck, a smile has even been known to be elicted 0 -
While flirting anc chatting up are not exactly the same thing - maybe this might be of interest?
This years Gay Men’s Health Service’s summer living and loving workshops are happening again this August for gay and bi men.
The workshops topics are
Challenging internalised homophobia on 11/08/09
Sexual assertiveness 18/08/09
Flirting skills 25/08/09
The workshops will run from 7.30pm each evening to 9.30pm in Outhouse 105 Capel St.
To book your place please contact GMHS outreach team
01 8734952
gmhpoutreach@eircom.net
I love how there's a sexual assertiveness cand flirting skills class right next to challenging internalised homophobia..............
But I think that self pity and desperation is quite offputting so like ya know, don't be like that? . 0 -

Do I? Seem like a lively chap that is, not need more practice.
Although yes I need more practice. Of course having an LGBT scene here wouldn't hurt, would help me get more practice, but there is none, so no pratice fo me.
.....theres always the mirror though.... or is that sad? :P0 -
