    Maybe she has a special eye and isn't actually looking at you at all?

    For shame. I am disappointed with AH. Nobody yet has suggested whipping out the lad and giving her the oul' helicopter show.
    Or failing that, just grab her by the pussy

    Or you could sign an executive order to MAKE her go out with you.

    I thought that myself.In fact she might have one of those folders up white canes blind people use.
    That throws the "give her a note bollix out the window".

    OP for those of us that use the Luas , could you dress in such a way that we recognise you , maybe wear a tophat and monocle.

    A note sounds like a good idea in this scenario. Just as you may be uncomfortable asking her out verbally in a crowded bus she may find it uncomfortable too.

    I asked a girl who worked at a busy coffee shop with a note. Althoough it didn't work out as she had a bf she gave me a nice reply and even suggested we be friends.

    Well OP how did it go...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,480 ✭✭✭robbiezero


    Stand near her, but not too near and when she looks over, discreetly show an A4 with "Fancy a coffee sometime?" written in large writing. She will either nod or shake her head.


  • Registered Users Posts: 30 Desoh


    Ok well she is not on it this morning so she must be off or something. Will have to lave it until tomorrow, dam! Very interesting replies thanks

    Ask her does does she want your last rolo, she will either know what it means or tell you she doesn't do sugar.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,360 ✭✭✭Lorelli!


    I was out with my oh and his pal in a pub just before Christmas and there was a group of people sitting in the chairs behind us. One fella approached me and said "are you with one of them?" I said "ye that's my husband" and he responded "that's your husband?" as though he didn't believe me. It got a bit awkward then but he ended up apologizing and shaking hands with my oh.

    Later, my oh and his friend went for a cigarette and your man was sitting in the seat directly behind me at this stage. He tapped me on the shoulder, leaned over and said "are ya happy though?". I said "ye i am" but then he stared at me for a bit too long as if he was searching for any doubt on my face :pac:

    I didn't know whether to be annoyed, flattered or amused. I suppose you'd have to give him credit for the blatant persistence and manipulative streak :D

    Op I wouldn't do any of the letters or gestures like that. Could you strike up a bit of conversation with her and see from there?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    Something something prosecco, something something wine, something something melted wheel of camembert. Done.


    Have the ring ready though, she'll want to marry you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,921 ✭✭✭gifted


    "I want your torso in my freezer".

    You did say a mad way...

    Brilliant...laughed out loud at this


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,346 ✭✭✭✭homerjay2005


    Op just go and talk to her, dont jump into asking her out straight off though. suss her out and see if she actually is interested.

    in my single days, i had a similar situation on the luas to work and it ended up with the girl actually asking me out one day, but we had talked for a few days before that.nothing ever came of it as we were different people but it was a good feeling when a random strange took time out to make an effort like that.

    Have you ever got a smell of fart off her OP?

    She's not giving him the eye at all, she's just clenching really hard until he's standing upwind:D

    He could have it on his phone, volume up full, and lip-sync it to her while lapdancing his way up the Luas to where she's sitting. I don't know if Luaseseseses have poles, but he could swing around one for effect if they do.

    Bound to win her over.

    :D

    Yes, Candie the Luaseseseseseses have poles, but are usually so jam packed, I'm afraid this may not work :D

    As long as you have a backup route for getting to work, go for it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,109 ✭✭✭eviltimeban


    A guy I know did that. He used to see this girl every morning on the Dart, she'd get off at Tara, he'd carry on to Pearse. One morning I was with him and he said "f**k it" and hopped off at Tara to ask her out.

    For some reason our paths didn't really cross much after that, but many years later I saw him out with some kids... and the girl. So there you go.

    First thing that came into my mind when he said she wasn't on the Lias today.


  • Posts: 17,378 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Oh yeah, do it on a Friday so that if she actually wants to meet up, ye don't have a few days awkwardly stuck on the Luas together.

    So you saw her one morning for a few minutes and you still recognised her many years later and lost contact with your friend after he met her, why don't I believe you?

    Op are you sure she's giving you the eye? Maybe you are staring at her and she is thinking why does he keep staring at me, does she smile when you look at her?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,258 ✭✭✭ellejay


    You should just ask her out verbally!!

    Anything else is weird, it's like you've put too much thought into it and you've been thinking her too much.

    Getting off at the same stop would be a good idea.

    Try smiling at her a few mornings before you ask her out.
    If she smiles back then ask her out on Friday, get off at the same stop.
    Everyone is a good mood on a Friday and as another poster said, you've the weekend to recover if she says no!

    Best of Luck.

    I was doing a summer course with him, I didn't say we were friends. We got the train together in the mornings. This was about 1996 so I don't really remember all the details, but we used to see this really good looking girl every morning on the Dart. I had a gf but he didn't so he asked her out, and they obviously ended up going out and having kids.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,360 ✭✭✭BetsyEllen


    I don't think the note the OP is planning on giving is that bad. I like it actually, just lose the 'lol' and don't put TXT, write properly!

    People are saying 'just talk to her' but she's sitting there with headphones in, it hardly makes it easy for him.

    I wouldn't just drop it into her lap and scarper though, walk over confidently and hand it to her with a smile.
    Confidence is attractive.

    Oh and just to add, as already mentioned I think Friday is definitely the best time to do it.
    Good luck OP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,973 ✭✭✭Deise Vu


    Maybe it's the cynic in me or I'm a more glass half empty type of guy but isn't the persistent headphones a bit of a sign that this girl wants zero contact with any of her fellow Luasers? Things are probably different these days.

    On the other hand I'm not the type to die wondering either so you need to trot out the old 'have you any Irish in ye' line. Then buy yourself a bicycle.

    Agreed, you'd need some serious signals to ask a girl to take off her headphones to ask her out.

    Possibly but I'd say it's more likely that it's the same reason most of us use headphones on the commute - To occupy your mind while you have to sit in a crowded train every day

    Cave man approach OP, bop on the head and carry her off to your lair.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,235 ✭✭✭✭Cee-Jay-Cee


    You need to approach this from a very particular angle in order to get her attention, throwing a note on to her lap is not the way to go about it!

    First of all you need to find out a little about her, this may entail taking some time off work. As she knows you to see you'll need to disguise yourself and follow her and find out where she works. Once you have established that you can google the company/business to see what position she holds so that you can educate yourself on the business she works for.

    You'll need to also hang around and see if she goes out to lunch, you can follow her (from a safe distance) and make note of any shops in particular that she stops to browse in as this may give you clues as to what she likes and dislikes. Once she arrives at the shop/restaurant you will have to try and get closer (but its ok as you'll still be in disguise)to her to find out what she likes to eat.

    You need to then be about for when she goes home to find out where she lives.

    The next day when she's at work you can go around to her house and have a rummage through her bin, you'll find all sorts of clues as to her eating habits and likes/dislikes. You may find old bills/letters which will tell you her name so that you can look her up on social media.

    Once you have access to her facebook account you can find out who her friends are, where she has been on holiday, where she likes to socialize and all sorts of other important information. You can follow her on nights out and take photos of her and her friends.

    You then need to set up a fake facebook account and ask her and all her friends to be your friend. You can message her friends and initiate a friendship with them first of all, try to get into their social circle so as to befriend them and find out more about the girl.

    Once you have established her friends circle you need to move on to her family, similar scenario, find out where they live, their jobs/hobbies etc etc and try and befriend some of them.

    Once you have all the above done you need to move onto the 'first date' With the knowledge you have gained you will be in a position to make a grand gesture. An idea would be to throw a huge party and invite all her family and friends. You can organise a huge backdrop for the party venue with photos of her on her nights out (the ones you took in the early stages of your quest) Ensure you have her favourite food and drinks in stock at the party.

    To get her there, simply drop a note into her lap tellin her she's invited to a party on date/time & place and the whole thing will fall into place. She will be so impressed at the lengths you have gone to in order to get to know her, you'll have her eating out of your hand within minutes of her arrival at the party.

    Chicks love that kinda shít.

    See the coffee voucher with your number on it could go wrong. Knowing the type of idiot I am, I would be delighted if someone gave me the voucher and be all smiles but not realising their number is on it and I'd spend it without a second thought. I'd probably even notice the number but just assume you had taken a message or something on it. There's been a few times over the years where friends have told me afterwards that someone was trying to chat me up and it all made perfect sense in hindsight but at the time i was a dope not realising- some people need something more obvious! So if you do that idea maybe write something more than just your name- in case she's an idiot like me.

    Maybe you should drop an auld box of chocolates with the letter.

    Or if you think she's a country girl, then a bag of spuds.

    Actually it might be a good idea first to double check that she really is "giving you the eye". Have a look behind where you stand..there might be a sign or advert there that she is trying to read :)
