Equally that is possible. To rephrase, sounds like she wasn't interested enough in him. Women have offered me their numbers so I know it isn't physically impossible. They just need to get a read of the type of guy they are dealing with.

I live in Dublin and am in my early 30s and male,and I have to say,of the bars or clubs I frequent,there would be more blokes in them most of the time than females.

That's because all the women are in restaurants.

Seriously, next time you're in one/walking by one, look around. In my experience the majority of the clientele in a restaurant are women. The few men who are there are with a woman and I can't remember the last time I saw a group of lads sitting down to a meal in a restaurant together.

A major untapped resource there I think.

Maybe you thought I was complaining about more blokes been in the bars than women,not the case at all!

As for restaurants,its just something Ive never been into as in going for dinner with my friends and sitting chatting for a couple of hours.Grand if Im seeing someone but doing it from a purely socialising PoV it wouldnt be my cup of tea or any of my male friends for that matter.

I think the atmosphere in most restaurants is a bit stuffy anyway and one cant really relax as much as in a pub but I do see your point.

Besides, I can't see trying to chat people up in a restaurant working out too well.

Exactly, you tend to go for a meal with friends to solely have some nice food and a chat, people don't tend to get chatting to strangers in restaurants!

"Oh your having the Duck? So am I!" that might be a good Icebreaker.

Asking to borrow the pepper probably wouldn't be a good opener either. Could be dangerous....
