Matchmakers are timeless - in a modern world there’s still space for giving love a helping hand (IrishCentral)

Sat, 22 Dec 2012 06:15:28 PST

Maureen Tara NelsonIn an ever changing world, one trend that has not gone out of style is matchmaking For centuries cultures around the world have used matchmakers as a way to connect with a potential partner, because what could be more important than choosing the right person to spend your life with? After 12 years of experience in this field I know it is not an easy undertaking, nor one that should be entered into lightly With technology advancing daily, the increased divorce rate as well as the fairly modern idea of “romantic love” being one’s right, the need for a matchmaker has never been greater Arranged marriages are still a part of many eastern cultures, as they were historically READ MORE

TWAs, cheeky Irish bloke, and ‘the walk of shame’ (IrishCentral)

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 05:15:20 PST

'Walk of Shame' should have brought shadesThirsty Thursdays were made for me I tell you! Nearing the end of a week of hard classes (okay, maybe they weren’t so hard) but definitely taxing on the brain; there’s nothing I like more than to kick back with a few beers and some good times on the day that the weekend should officially start!Ciaran (the guy I had met on my first day here) asked me if I wanted to ‘hit the town’ and since I thought he was quite cute, funny and had a different kind of Irish accent than the Dublin one I had heard, I agreed (He has a Louth accent and I’ve been told by my Irish classmates that their accent is not the same as other accents around Ireland due to inbreeding- God I hope that’s a joke!)I let Catelyn persuade me into wearing my red knit dress and arranged to meet Ciaran at the Molly Malone statue (oh how I loved rubbing that in Grace’s face – “Hey Grace, I’m meeting him at the ‘Tart with the Cart’, get that!”) I was full of nerves when I spotted him and he gave me a mischievous grin, planted a kiss on my cheek and then looked me up and down----------------------READ MORE:More stories from the Gaelic Girls on IrishCentral US tourist says she captured image of Jesus on Cliffs of MoherIrish American girl commits suicide in repeat of Phoebe Prince storyline----------------------Not wanting to disappoint him and to reassure him that I was going to be a really fun date, I exclaimed that I was ready to paint the town red!

It’s about the size of my living room in America, but it’s cozy and quaint, and you just can’t help but talk to lots of people because you’re all pretty much sitting on each other’s laps READ MORE

After explaining to us that he has a weakness for American girls and their sparkly white teeth we didn’t want to disappoint him, so we whipped out some of our cheesy American phrases whenever we could, from ‘Oh, that’s neat!’ to ‘Awesome dude’ while desperately trying to force our cheeks back to our ears---------------------------READ MORE:More stories for IrishCentral's Gaelic Girls Starlings take flight over River Shannon in Ireland - VIDEOChinese tourists flood to Ireland in record numbers---------------------------The minutes passed by into a couple of hours and before we knew it, we were surrounded by our cheeky chap and his ‘mates’, entertaining us with their wild, nearly unbelievable stories of their past year travelling around the world READ MORE
