PPS I WOULD NEVER DATE AN AMERICAN THEY TOO DRAMATIC AND SPOILT AND AS FOR THAT AMERICAN NASAL ACCENT IT WOULD DO MY HEAD IN .. CANT EVEN LISTEN TO IT ON THE TV
'IT WAS AN AMERICAN INVENTED DATING ' SUCH ARROGANCE IS IT ANY WONDER WE LAUGH AT YOU..
the biggest load of bollix i have ever read
Con, Get a grip. You tell Irish men to be false and shallow, then on item 8, you tell them to be themselves. I could give better advise than you. You need to hang up your writing pen.
because irish men have the drink on...a hard on or pleasing size is not a national attribute. irish men are rated the worst lovers in all of europe. no clue how to get it on & they come way too soon. really bad lovers.
I thought this was hilarious! And good enough for me to give it to my non-Irish husband for a few pointers! lol Oh! A wee heads up! I don't think it's meant to be taken too seriously!
Very good! My mum would always say 'Never marry an Irishman' usually through gritted teeth. My friends and I at school would amuse ourselves by telling stories about our Irish daddies. My lovely daddy (RIP) was famous for getting us kids to switch tv channels (in the days before remote controls)and banging on the floor for my mum to bring him up a cup of tea! One of the best stories was when he bought a pair of shoes on the way home from the pub. Alighting from his bike he asked my sister what she thought of them "But they're odd" she said. "Don't be cheeky!" replied dad. "No, they don't match. You've bought a pair of odd shoes!" Needless to say, she was dispatched to the shop to return the offending articles. Irish men seem to be more user-friendly now and I'd love my daughter to marry one!
I have a 24-year old daughter who loves an Irish accent! Screw the rules, what's my first bid? hahahaha!
Some of it is correct but PaulaMarie is right. Make sure you've talked to the girl and know what sort of places and and events she enjoys. Someone taking me to a art exhibition would find me leaving partway through the date pleading exhaustion or a headache or something. On the other hand a sporting event, concert or even a pub with a sessiun and I'll definitely give him another chance. So long as he doesn't get so drunk he falls flat on his face. Or tries to drive us home after 1 too many. I won't get s**tfaced because I don't enjoy it but I'll certainly have a few.
I disagree with #7. Guys should always be themselves, and not fabricate things about their past. The same goes for women. When I was 22, a 33-year old co-worker told how he often told a girl that he had an "unhappy childhood". figuring that would increase his chances of sleeping with her. I thought this to be very deceitful & manipulative. I'm sure most women today would see right through this, and I'm happy if they do! BTW, this guy was Jewish-and married!
My Irish grandmother, who married an Irish man, and he was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather, and she loved him madly, warned all her daughters, and granddaughters not to marry Irish men, and for good reason, she'd seen enough of them growing up in the country. Every Irish guy I've known has been a spoiled, mommy's boy, selfish and always blaming others for his own bad behavior. I went to college with a guy of Irish ancestry, now a famous comedian and tv star, and he was an awful drunk and druggie, a moocher and a groper. He seems to have smartened up a bit, and I'm glad that he's grown up so much, but I still consider not agreeing to go out with him a wise decision. I've shared my grandmother's wisdom with my daughter, and thus far she's avoided such entanglements. I'd suggest every girl and woman that they run away from any approach from an Irish guy, after all, they have plenty of Irish girls and women who deserve the burden being placed on them.
Absolutely don't get drunk. 3 drinks and head for a non alky event.
Hahaha 7 is brilliant.
Take it slow and easy -- don't rush into a relationship. I know that being modest is not easy, but try. Above all, be a gentleman.
