    Not sure facebook or texting counts as online or does it? I still do both, althought not as much I'd like!

    That kind of 'bad' language is not appreciated around these parts, friend.

    Not your ornery onager

    It's like the majority of women in their early twenties. Literally no info about themselves.

    I wish sometimes it was as easy to meet someone as back in my parents day. Maybe more choice now, but it seem like higher expectations around.

    That's the window shopping mentality of modern dating unfortunately.

    What about us out of towners? We'd have to book into a hotel somewhere and you'd be responsible for making sure we didn't sneak down the corridors to visit each others' rooms. You'd be run ragged, like a Mother Superior, watching out for our mortal souls!

    The last was attended by about 10 people , 6 or 7 were AH mods :D great craic but the community doesn't seem to be the same as it once was unfortunately. Beers are more a private forum thing these days and its more like going out with friends than strangers from the internet

    "My Self Summary - I'm a nice and friendly man."

    Really? That's the best you can say for yourself? I would really hope that's the bare minimum of anyone I meet. It seems like someone's selling themselves on the fact they don't rob grannies. "I meet the minimum levels of social decorum."

    Sometimes I don't get it. A girl likes your profile, you introduce yourself and ask her something light from her profile.
    She replies and you follow it up with another general question and then nothing. stonewalled. every. time.

    I wish I was like those arrogant guys sometimes who don't give a **** and get all the hook-ups. Just don't have it in me to be like that.

    Yea I always feel that I couldn't go to beers, wouldn't know people well enough etc...
    BUT, if it was a singles night, allowing for invitees, it could have more attendees...

    In the personality test thread someone posted a description of the villain they're most like - Benito Mussolini:

    "Like Benito Mussolini, you are high in energy, sociable and spontaneous. When you are inspired to throw yourself into something, your enthusiasm is contagious, and others enjoy coming along with you for the ride."

    That would make a better profile summary. It's bad when Mussolini sounds like a reasonable prospect :)

    I've been doing it for about 9 months, but I've only met about 10 or 11 people I think. So it's too soon to give up. I'm in my forties! I feel like maybe the first year is only learning lessons (the hard way of course!)
    I disagree with the amusing but demented theory that men who are 8s out of 10 are going on dates with women who are 5s out of 10. I think the men are so fussy at the point of messaging that when you actually get as far as meeting up in real life, the decision is the woman's. That's been my experience. I message very ordinary looking men if they have a really great interesting profile and I'm ignored at least half of the time! I did waste some time on a guy who told me he didn't want a relationship but then ignored all the normal boundaries between friendship and a relationship. I could have met him anywhere though. I don't blame the internet!

    Of course we would. He would be head over heels in love with me within minutes of meeting me and I would be crazy about him until I realise he likes "Wagon Wheel" and then I would batter him to death with my docs.

    Well that is how most of my dating life seems to go these days.

    What kind of date is it?


    We went for drinks! Sat in some bar I've never been to before, had a couple of beers, a nice conversation. He's a really nice guy, could see myself hanging out with him. Though he did seem a little.. Not nervous but very attentive. I felt as though I did the majority of the speaking, but he seemed to enjoy that. I get the vibe that he was already thinking about future possibilities on the date, kept asking me what my plans were for the weekend, what I'll be up to after exams - whether or not I'll be in Dublin for the summer. But who knows maybe he was just running out of things to ask!

    Overall, I had fun and I'm glad I went on the date. He seemed like a gentleman.

    Witchie, I drink plenty of disaronno and cloudy Apple but disaronno and cherry? What's it like? Which juice do you use?

    I clicked reply, don't blame me for it quoting all your post.

    He might have been nervous
    Aanyway, maybe I'm stupid, but it sounds like I need to buy a hat :)

    Ooooh so glad you had a lovely night! Great to hear!

    It was just Tesco own brand cherry juice. It tastes like Bakewell tarts or Almond slices....both things that I love but since developed a nut allergy 2 years ago, can no longer have. Only found out recently that I can still drink Disaronno as it is made with peach kernels rather than nuts. Amaretto on the other hand is made with almonds so can't have it. Dammit.

    My local cocktail bar has the 2nd best cocktail maker in the world (and that is not me giving him that title, he genuinely came 2nd in the world championships last year) and he makes me fantastic Disaronno sours but cherry juice is just the perfect combination with it.

    Oh and back to the dating stuff so as not to derail the conversation totally, are you going to meet him again?

    I hope he doesn't ghost. Fecking hate them ghosty boys.

    Just noticed that this thread is on page 69 on my computer.

    *goes all beavis and butthead* huh a huh huh

    A hat? Like a gentleman's top hat or of the more tin foil variety?

    On an aside, my taxi driver for the night was an absolute whack job and kept telling me that his friend who owns a bar on a beach in Thailand ALSO invented a cream containing "product" that cured his skin melanoma. And then he got me to give my opinion on his miracle invention, and promptly changed his tune to say "now he takes 2ml of it every day and it stops everything. He's cured a guy of stage 4 lung cancer, prostate cancer and even pancreatic" and all I could say was beejaysus that fella has the worst luck in the world so.. I felt like the taxi driver just lucid dreams so much he forgot what's real and what wasn't!

    Yer man has been messaging me on whatsapp all night since I got home. He seems keen, I must have done something right :) huzzah for online dating (for now...)
