My first thought was that she should probably go to the police, but then he made it clear that wasn't necessary as he was erasing her number even if she was "psychologically normal". He probably should take some of his own advice.
I wonder if it's a fake though... 0 -

Irish people don't like the 'D' word, we prefer to say we're meeting up with.
Whatever you want to call it just make sure you bring the rubbers.....and the kitchen plunger
Stay safe kids

You just say drink instead of date. "I'm going for a drink with your one from finance"0 -

I've certainly implied this, but don't think I've ever forthright said it to the girl before the first date.

I'll make this quick. Unfortunately arranged first date on the same day as my old man's birthday. Was bringing him out for dinner, he decided he wanted to watch a match before dinner. Ended up being three hours late for my date.
Arrived at her house, she was there with all her friends, pretty well on after a couple of bottles of wine. I was greeted with pure hatred from all the mates, but she decided she had waited this long, she'd get a drink out of me at least.
Walking in towards town, the heel of one of her new shoes gets caught in a grate, snaps clean off. "Great". So now I really need to impress. No cash in wallet as old man's dinner had cleaned me out, so head to ATM before bringing her for a drink. Insufficient Funds.
This woman is NOT impressed. Bring her for a couple of drinks and the frost melts a little...
Married her seven years later:) 0 -

OK, back story first
Years ago I used to work in a Toyshop around the busy Xmas period. I remember most of the staff were a lazy bunch and I didn't like the majority of them so I used to keep the head down, get on with my work and when that was done I'd find more jobs worth doing.
Also, most of the staff weren't too keen on 'members of the travelling community' and wouldn't go out of their way to help them out, only keeping a watchful eye on them in case they might be of the shop-lifting variety. I didn't care and I would usually approach them and ask if they needed any help with anything just ask. For a few weeks, I was their go too guy. They were spending a lot of cash on their kids.
Anyway a lot of the toys bought were big, bulky items like tractors, trailers, doll's houses and the like and a few of the men who came in asked if I could assemble them for them and leave them up in our store-room until Xmas eve. They explained they didn't have any room in their caravans to hide them from their kids (cos' there's no such thing as Santa).
I agreed to most of these requests and worked on them during my lunch breaks. Xmas came and every traveller bar one who came in to collect their stuff from me showed their gratitude with generous tips. I must have dealt with about 15 or so and the tips ranged from €30 to €10 a man.
Date
Anyway after Xmas I met a nice girl out one night, swapped numbers etc and arranged to go out on a night. It was just after Xmas and I was fairly flush with all the tips I made so I decided to take the girl out to a decent restaurant.
We met up in town and as we were walking down to the place, a big blue Hi-Ace van whizzed past and then hit the brakes hard coming to a screeching halt. It then reversed back and stopped where we were. I was full sure we were going to get a beating when a big fella jumped out of the van. It was one of the travellers I got to know over Xmas and he approached me and gave me a big bear hug and thanked me for all I did for him. He apologised for not giving me something but it had slipped his mind.
He handed me €20 and told me he was just back from hunting where he caught a couple of rabbits and thrust a dead one out in front of me and put it into my hand. The Hi-Ace sped off and I was left there dangling a bloody, faceless rabbit by the hind legs. The girl was dumbstruck and I didn't know what to say or do with the rabbit. She then said she didn't feel too well and could we do it another time.
