I'm a newly single 23 year old lady and I want to get myself out and about again and start to meet some nice young fellas. I just want to know the best places around Letterkenny to meet some nice Donegal men. Anytime I'm out around Letterkenny, I never seem to get as much as a sniff!

Deer Hunter DL · 24-10-2009 8:48pm

cavern , voodoo, sister saras, i should think you`d get a sniff about there

Johnny Giles · 25-10-2009 12:05am

The Pulse, Milan, The Grill...

...or if you're stuck try The Hideout.

You might find a fiddle in the Cottage Bar.

The Wolfe Tone - Depending on your nationality.
The Drum Bar - If you're local.

A launderette can be good

The drink section in Dunnes.

Any ATM queue.

icescreamqueen · 25-10-2009 12:59pm

Think I'll stay local tonight, plenty of toothless old men to take my fancy! Think Donegal men are a bit shy compared to what you get in Dublin.

ToniTuddle · 25-10-2009 1:49pm

Those wee 16 and 17 yr old aint feicing shy!!!
Though seems they do get shy as they get older

Odd.

Forget about the discos. Go out good and early and hit the pubs and pick up a half sober male then

Ha!!!

A half sober male in Donegal!Everybody gets drunk before they go out now remember!You would have to meet them in their house to get them sober!:p

My theory,if you got out looking for "love" you wont get it, your only successful when you got out for the craic. Thats for me anyway,mind you I could be doing it all wrong:p

Johnny Giles · 25-10-2009 2:43pm

What about Blakes Bar.

icescreamqueen · 25-10-2009 3:07pm

I'm not looking for love or a knight in shining armour on a white horse or a sniff of someone's ATM card (I'm an independent woman don't y'know!). I just want to be young and have a bit of fun! Maybe I'll try Blake's Bar, have never been in there.

Students get drunk before the go out! Regular alcoholics throw all their hard earned dole into their fav pub

Anyway nobody should be looking for love at this stage in life!
TRAVEL.
Talk to everyone in yer course/work and ones outside of it! They will all end up scattered all over the world and ye will then be able to go on holidays and stay with them.:D Trust me...it's great!:p

personally i think pubs and clubs are the worst places to look for a partner.

I wouldn't rule it out though. I went out with a lovely person for 5 years, having met him in a nightclub. I think it kinda depends on the pub and club. I know a lot of people meet their partners through work but I don't see that happening anytime soon! Where would you recommend?

digital pimp · 29-10-2009 5:34pm

friends of friends usually, or internet dating sites
plentyoffish.com is really good.

ToniTuddle · 29-10-2009 5:46pm

Never let actual friends set you up with people...as they normally pick ones THEY would like and the person turns out to be not the type you would go for!
They do say internet dating is fun....but I meet enough actual psychos in real life...so with the internet I'd be a bit wary......then again...
Maybe that's where all the sane people are now...the internet!!:eek:

digital pimp · 29-10-2009 5:55pm

well, i meant people you meet through your friends,
like at a party, birthdays, or youknow oxegen or something lol

icescreamqueen · 29-10-2009 6:45pm

Toni Tuddle, you should write a book titled, 'Toni Tuddle's rules to Dating!'. I'm sure it would be a best seller. See, that's the thing when I was going out with someone, everyone was single. Now, everyone has partners and I'm single. I need some single friends! Plus, I'm shy and would never approach a man!

Deer Hunter DL · 29-10-2009 6:54pm

post a pic of your self i`m sure there is loads of 20 somethings on here would take you out on a date

You can see my picture in today's Sun newspaper, it's on page 3! Anyway, it's not about looks, it's about personality or something!

Thanks!! hehe:D
But noboy listens to me advice even though it's right alot of the time cause I'm cool like --->:cool::P
My two best friends are both in relationships and I'm the single one...which I don't mind at all until I'm out with them and they are all over each other and I'm sitting like a great big tool!:(

Are you currently working in an environment where there are loads of people? Is it a new job?

Yeah join the club! As I say to my sister when I'm out, 'I try to look single'! That ain't hard, like as you say when everyone is slobbering over each other! Nah, I work in a very female dominated job, where all the women have their 5 point plans which involves marriage and babies (zzzzzz).

Well I suggest you definitely don't pop out with them(unless you really want an alcoholic beverage) or let them set you up with people.
Maybe get friendly with their sisters/brothers or other female/male friends outside of work(they may all want 5 point plans but I doubt all their friends do)....(do this by having drinks,music and chips n dips at your flat and inviting work mates and their friends!)
Try this for few weeks-every friday afternoon/evening pop into a pub you like and have a few drinks(up at the bar not sitting down on a couch as people will think you are waiting for someone and ignore you).
You end up becoming pally with the bar staff and possible regulars too.More people you talk to leads to more friends leads to more chances of having romantic encounters!

Alternatively, I'll just wear a 'I'm desperate' badge. Must dust it off, it worked in the past!
