    Went out with a guy last night, went back to his after. I went to roll over in bed and I let out the loudest fart you can imagine.

    I could not get out of there quick enough!!!!!!

    First date - went to see 'Blue Valentine' in IFI. Advice - watching the disintegration of a marraige through a series of flashbacks is not a romantic date.

    Second date - Went to see 'Black Swan'. We fight each other for the arm rest and playfully mess about. She bites my neck and I mentally say "Fucckit" and go for the kiss. She says no and I spend the rest of the movie facing thee screen, rooted to the spot, dying inside.

    After the movie, I ask why and she looks confused so I went in for it again. An amazing kiss ad an amazing ad confusing relationship. Still can't watch Black Swan though.

    Bitches be crazy, yo! :p

    My favourite 'first date' story though is a friend who - to break the tension on a first date - did the old 'Say Ah' trick. i.e. you say "Say Ahhh" as a dentist might, then - say - touch the person's hand with a hot spoon and they exclaim "Aaah!" and much hilarity ensues.

    what? how does that lead to 'much hilarity'?

    I had a 4 year relationship and managed to never fart around him, yet I fart on the first date with this one. :o

    You were with this guy for 4 years and STILL weren't comfortable enough to fart around him?

    i remember on another first date of mine, id say i was about 15, the guy picked me up in his car and we went for a drive.. at one point i asked could i change the CD in his car and he told me what one to put on, one with "good dance tunes". so i put it on and we start t chat which kind of stops and trails off as the song playing was "girls just wanna have fun"..! mortified yer man scrambles t turn it off sayin, "thats the wrong CD, that ones my sisters!" Hmmm.

    anyway it was a tad awkward as we didnt really know eachother so we didnt know what to say to eachother, and in a desperate attempt to kill the awkward silence he grabs my hand and holds it and then says...

    "you dont paint your nails?"

    "Er,. no"

    "Really? Never?"

    "Em,. nah i never paint my nails..."

    "My sister always paints her nails a red-ish kina colour..."

    Cue even more awkward silence! It was just very weird!! Needless to say i didnt go out with him again, just ignored the txts till he got the message :/
    The emboldened part... that really isn't so needless to say! Doesn't sound like there was anything wrong with him; he just sounds slightly nervous.

    This isn't directly related to the above but I do think some people are extraordinarily quick to dismiss prospective partners as 'weird'; reminds me of this clip from about 4:17

    Farting around them is a big no no for me. I dont mind if he does it but I just think its not a thing a woman should do.

    I have loads of these mad little relationship rules, im a wee bit crazy

    Met a guy out in a nightclub, this is going back about 7 years ago. Cue to the shifting and swapping of numbers. We met on a few nights out after that. Eventually he asked me out on a date, dinner and drinks. He really did wine and dine me and was the perfect gentleman. Things were going great, the wine was flowing and so was the conversation. While on route from one bar to the other, mid sentence I excused myself, ran over to the wall and started puking. He held my hair for about 10mins, made sure I got home safely and even text me the following day to see if I was ok and would I like to meet up again....was just way too mortified to see him again!

    I was working with a few Croatian guys in Dublin, and they always had a gaggle of hot Croatian girls at parties etc..
    I arranged a date with one of them, met her but had forgotten her name, she was in my phone as 'hot Croat girl'

    Anyway things going well enough, she went to the bar, I texted my mate ' I'm gonna hammer the ****e into her, she's gagging for cock' and of course, as ****ing cliched as they come, sent it to her.

    She read it, and was nice enough to pretend it didn't happen, but nope. I didn't get the lay.

    Living in Asia and she said she'd take me to a traditional restaurant. So in we go sitting on the ground and all the little dishes come out of god knows what.

    I was only in Korea a few weeks so chopstick skills were not the best, everything kept falling and I looked a tool and she tought it was hilarious.

    She had to sit beside me and actually feed me and everyone in the restaurant was laughing at me :(

    She obviously didn't mind because ended up seeing her for awhile and she ended up eating my own chopstick.

    Careful now, I actually read your post first and then read just the last four words of Billy's post.
    eating my own chopstick.
    :eek:

    I've since read the whole post which clarified things nicely. ;)

    Four years though??? Would you not get chronic tummy pains?!

    I was with my husband about a week when after an intimate time in the car we were driving off and he farted. No apology or anything. I had been holding mine in giving me a stomach ache so I said to myself "f*ck this" and relaxed. We got engaged and married so he mustn't mind my stinky farting

    No, its rare that I actually need to fart. Every few weeks I might, but even then I wouldn't just fart....then it goes away. I burp a lot though, never around a boyfriend. Friends yes, boyfriends no.

    I bet you let rip in your sleep and just aren't aware. Farting is a biological function and no way could you go weeks without doing it!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,944 ✭✭✭indioblack


    One girl I dated many, many years ago started dropping subtle hints that we might not be together for too long.
    1. She said she thought of me as her brother. I'd met her brother so that was no compliment.
    2. She said she'd found Jesus - I didn't even know they were looking for him.
    3. She emigrated to New Zealand - I began to get the idea that she didn't want to be around me.

    2. How Often Do We Fart?


    Well if you have ever wondered if you fart more or less than the average human person then read on. An average person will produce around half a litre of fart gas per day, which roughly translates as 14 farts a day.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,033 ✭✭✭mauzo



    14 farts a day!??? I do about 14 farts a year!!!!!! AT most!!

    Slightly nervous, I'll give him that. But listening to Cyndi Lauper and having a weird obsession over the fact i dont paint my nails was a turn off for me!! Maybe hes just really in touch with his feminine side, either way it was definitely weird!!

    I took a chance last week and gave my number to someone who asked for it. A total stranger. He called a few days later, turns out he lives near-ish to me so we arranged to go for a drink locally.
    We met, we chatted, it was somewhat awkward as we knew nothing about each other but we were both willing to give it a try anyway. During the course of the evening he insisted on showing me his teeth as he'd just had them whitened (think "cheese" smile that a child does for a photo).
    I asked him all about himself, his family, his work, his friends...no such interest in me though. Asked him what he usually did in the evenings after work, he said "nothing". Turns out he meant it literally.

    Eventually I decided it was time to leave, glad I had taken a chance but thinking not for me. He insisted on walking me part of the way home which I suppose was gentlemanly enough but I just wanted to get home. However he made sure to grab me for a goodnight kiss which was the worst I've had, possibly ever, I pulled away after a second or two and said I have to go home to which he asked "Can I come with you?". Cue fast exit from me while he's still shouting after me can he see me on Saturday...

    Not a major disaster but definitely a cock up - I never want to see him again!

    I have a first date coming up in *checks time* 5 hours.

    I've posted on this thread before but it keeps popping up in my notifications, reminding me of things that can go wrong. Out of morbid curiousity or sadomasochistic tendencies I check back.

    Obligatory story - In addition to the cinema story I posted before

    The night before we were going to meet up, I rang to sort out the details (time, where etc). We flirted and messed a little and I jokingly slagged her for picking out her clothes in advance and said it wasn't a date. Que banter and that fun tension.

    So the following day rolls around and we meet up at Trinity. Her wearing ripped jeans and converse, while I wore a blazer, casual t-shirt and shoes. Heart sank. Did she now think this wasn't a date?

    On a subsequent date, I was informed me that because of my little joke, she decided against the dress and heels - opting instead for converse.. just to piss me off.

    The whole relationship went like this - tit for tat chemistry.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,318 ✭✭✭✭Menas


    I hooked up with a girl in a nightclub back in the day. We ended up going back to hers.
    While we were getting warmed up on the couch the light comes on and in comes her mother. Damn it!
    Her mum then comes in and sits down and starts chatting. After a while she sends her daughter to make a cup of tea.
    Then her mum says to me "you know that she has three kids dont you?".
    Yes, I reply - she told me earlier.
    "Well" says her mum "if you play your cards right we will say the last one is yours".

    I made my excuses!
