Everyone Loves An Irish Girl

Losing my religion?

Posted by BrigidFitzpatrick at 4/21/2009 11:15 AM EDT

First things first. The d-bag of the week award goes to (drumroll please): guy at that bar in the west village who insisted on squeezing next to me in a booth and was inexplicably obtuse. Note - I would never buy life insurance from you. I only talked to you so my friend could get a free drink from your friend. Okay next. I ... Read More »

Bells are ringing

Posted by BrigidFitzpatrick at 4/21/2009 11:09 AM EDT

I'm getting to that point in life where I have a lot of acquaintances getting engaged. Luckily, none of my close friends have gotten hitched yet, but it seems that I get a text message every few weeks announcing someone I knew in high school or college is headed down the aisle.
I feel like yelling from a ... Read More »

A certain commenter suggested I go out and "meet people" and "mix it up" instead of just writing about "self pity." Well, as much I appreciate the advice, I am in the twilight of my youth! I go out all the time and meet heaps of people (just not the right ones). Self pity? To the contrary. I think my life is amazing. But ... Read More »

Missing in action

Posted by BrigidFitzpatrick at 3/26/2009 3:55 PM EDT

I’m convinced I’m going to have a missed connection. Some things you have a premonition about—like the fact I knew skinny jeans would eventually make a triumphant return after years of frumpy wide legs. It’s probably the best part of reading Craigslist, except maybe for a section that is actually ... Read More »

No sex in the city

Posted by BrigidFitzpatrick at 3/19/2009 9:28 AM EDT

Here’s the thing about being single in NYC—I never thought it would happen to me. I fully expected to make my long-term, long-distance relationship work and that eventually, my then boyfriend would get over his hatred for the vicinity and move here. Not surprisingly, it didn’t work out. I guess I ... Read More »

Irish culture is unique, but the Irish and Irish Americans have the same hopes, fears and dreams as everyone else. People of all cultures look for advice, whether romantic, spiritual, psychic or something else. And if you are looking for advice with a taste of Irish culture, then you have come to the right place. Take the romance blog “Everyone Loves an Irish Girl.” The author, Brigid Fitzpatrick, certainly hopes so – she is a 20-something single girl looking for love in New York City. Brigid warns gentlemen, “if you see a cute, pale girl in a bar—be on your best behavior—or you may end up on this blog.” Another place to get romantic advice is The Matchmaker’s self-titled blog. The Matchmaker specializes in singles who are commitment-minded, and says she is the only matchmaker with photos for her clients. Ask any question you like, says The Matchmaker, “after matchmaking for over eight years I have literally heard everything!” If you were thinking that Irish culture does not extend to psychics, Francine Tesler, The Celtic Psychic, aims to prove you wrong. Francine is the psychic for people who usually don’t go to psychics. She is both a Medium and Spirit Channeler based in the metropolitan New York area – but equally adept over the Internet. Irish culture extends to the stars with Fiona Fortune’s weekly horoscope. For those looking for the spiritual side of Irish culture, Father Tim offers his self-titled blog. Father Tim is a Jesuit missionary, trained in New York and Boston, who’ll be writing about the spiritual side of life. He loves hearing from readers – not about theological arguments, but real-life issues that matter to you. Father Tim never condemns and never judges – he’s here to help. He’s a friend you can trust, and you will always be in his prayers. Debbie McGoldrick, editor of the Irish Voice newspaper, also has an advice blog, and this blog deals with a major issue with regard to Irish culture in America – immigration. Her blog is called Green Card, which is the title of the column she has written for the newspaper for 20 years. Visit her blog for all your immigration questions.
