First Date #7 – How it went

#FirstDate #FirstDates #Dating #Dublin #Malahide #Ireland #LEGO When the conversation moved to WhatsApp, there was even less conversation than in person.  Eventually, there was no communication at all.  Two dates in Malahide – two ghostings.  I think I’ll avoid Malahide in the future. (Last Dated – June 2018)

So tell me what you want, what you really, really want

#FirstDate #FirstDates #Dating #Tips #Profile #Profiles I think it’s super important to let your potential match know what you’re looking for in a partner.  I also think that simply listing your demands without telling me anything about yourself is a big turnoff.  I guess in a way this one was […]

Why are you single?

#FirstDate #FirstDates #Dating #Single #Dublin #GraftonStreet #Ireland #LEGO Admittedly, it’s not a good question, but it’ll get asked eventually.  So, you need to have thought it out and have a good response.  Your First Date might be blunt and just ask, “why are you single?”  Or they might ask in […]

#FirstDate #FirstDates #Dating #Waterford #JohnRobertsSquare #RedSquare #Ireland #LEGO Much to my chagrin, it turns out FirstDate#6 was very much not available to date me, as she had a boyfriend back in Belgium.  So, let me back up some.  When I invited FirstDate#6 to meet at the café, I was hoping […]

How crazy is crazy?

#FirstDate #FirstDates #Dating #Tips #Profile #Profiles Would you date somebody that had vastly different ideas of how vaccines and science work? This woman on Hinge believes that Covid was started in a laboratory.  Maybe I’m the crazy one.  Nonetheless, I’m not gonna even start with this one.

First Date #5 – How it went

#FirstDate #FirstDates #Dating #Kilkenny #KilkennyCastle #Ireland #LEGO #Ghosted At the second café, it was pretty clear we weren’t compatible.  I mentioned voting for and being thrilled that Ireland had voted to repeal the 8th amendment (ending the ban on abortions). I foolishly assumed that most women would be in favor […]

Which one is you?

#FirstDate #FirstDates #Dating #Tips #Photos #Profile #ProfilePicture #ProfilePictures “Which one is you?” is a question your potential match should NEVER have to ask themselves.  Dating is almost always a solo activity, your dating profile pictures should show you by yourself.  This is especially so for your first picture – first […]
