First Date #4 – How it went

#FirstDate #FirstDates #Dating #Dublin #Malahide #LEGO #Ghosted … The second date never happened.  We continued to text for about a month, even when I returned to California for a week.  Then I sent a text to meet up with her again… no response.  I checked on Facebook, and she had […]

Where are you?

#FirstDate #FirstDates #Dating #Tips #Location #Hometown Most dating apps request access to your location.  You can choose to “Always” give the app access to your location, “While Using the App” (which I usually choose), “Ask Next Time” or “Never”.  I don’t recommend “Never” unless you’re not serious about dating.  Bumble […]

How important is faith (or lack of it)?

#FirstDate #FirstDates #Dating #Faith #NoFaith #Dublin #PhoenixPark #PapalCross #LEGO How important is faith (or lack of it) to you?  How important is it when looking for a partner?  Do those beliefs bring you together or further divide you? Although a nickname that I fully embrace is Pope, I’m an atheist.  […]

First Date #3 – How it’s going

#FirstDate #FirstDates #Dating #Dublin #Dublin2 #StephensGreen #LEGO FirstDate#3 and I had a second date also up in Dublin.  I often rave about how there isn’t any good Mexican Food in Ireland.

Do you overthink things?

#FirstDate #FirstDates #Dating #Tips #Conversations If the person you’ve matched with doesn’t immediately respond, or if they respond in a way that doesn’t make your heart flutter, do you start to overthink things?  Sometimes a “Hey” is just a “Hey”.  Sometimes it shows a lack of interest.  In this world […]

Where do you like to meet your first dates?

#FirstDate #FirstDates #Dating #Kilkenny #KilkennyCastle #LEGO Obvious choices for a first date include cafes and parks.  Occasionally I’ve had a first meeting at a restaurant or pub. But my favorite place to meet is Kilkenny Castle on a sunny (or at least dry) day.  We’ll grab a Tea/Coffee from the […]

First Date #2 – How it’s going

#FirstDate #FirstDates #Dating #Kilkenny #RyansBar #LEGO Romantically, FirstDate#2 did not work out.  Platonically, First Date #2 was fantastic.  Through knowing FirstDate#2, I have met about a third of the people I know in Kilkenny.  I still see First Date #2 socially and most frequently listening to live music on a […]

It’s just about time to finally take the Xmas Tree down.  It’s been up for over 400 days now.  I kept it up all of last year to keep my spirits up through all of the shit that’s going on.  Occasionally running my LEGO Trains helped too. Anyhow, it’s the […]

Have Something to Say

#FirstDate #FirstDates #Dating #Tips #Conversations Matching with somebody is easy enough, but keeping those matches is the challenge.  One sure way to get an immediate unmatch from me is for your first message to only say “Hi”/”Hello”/or send me this GIF: Tom Hanks Waving GIFfrom Tom Hanks GIFs Bumble is […]
