Green Island girls

[Gerrit]

I have a rather shameful question, but I can risk my reputation somehow - as a foreigner I'm not supposed to know from myself, so I have an excuse for asking


A colleague of mine told me that Irish (or in this case Northern Irish) girls never take the first step. In other words: if the man doesn't ask the girl out, nothing will happen.

This kinda ruins it for me, cause I always used the philosophy "if she takes the first step, you know she's interested and never risk a rejection". Looks like I'll have to change tactics

But is this true? Am I really supposed to do it all myself and risk making a fool of myself? Can't I just wait for a bate to be thrown and bite if it looks good?
In Belgium it's very normal that girls approach men to ask them out. Not here?

No offence Gerrit, but maybe its just you! If a bird is confident and she likes you, she make a move, just do it yourself, whats the worst that can happen? She says no??? So what!!!

depends what angle ur cumin from dude, this is obviously a girl you know, you cant be suggesting that girls will randomely come up and ask guys out in a niteclub/pub scene...

anyways you probably need to give her a few light indicators ur interested, and see what kinda response you get.. she could either take a plung and ask u out or she could in turn send a few signals herself, whereupon you would feel a lot safer asking her..

its all about reading the signals as far as im concerned, if ur good at it (not suggesting i am) youl usually get a feel for whether a girls interested

Some Irish girls will go for it, but the default is to let the fella do the work. I think it's just pure laziness myself. You want equal rights, act equal, b*tch.

Adam!

We're just really shy ACTUALLY! Go and ask Gerrit, we don't have the er... 'balls' to do it!

Guys are shy too. The ones that aren't are invariably tw*ts...

I know they are and some girls can be right witches to them which is horrible and breaks confidence etc. I still say Go go go Gerrit!

I could never approach a guy... Never have, don't think I ever would, according to this thread, maybe I should start!

[finlma]

ur cumin from dude,

Sorry for being a pain in the ar$e and going off topic but you're not writing a text message buddy - type the words out. Gets on my nerve that does.

Back on topic - Irish girls do approach guys. Some of them are very forward but like in most cultures it is the guy who will mostly do the approaching

[Green Army Girl]

I dont think i have ever gone over to a man and made the first move but i would never be a b*tch i would always give him a chance unless he is a complete pr*ck. I see alot of girls do that to fellas and i wouldnt mind they have a face like a box of lego (in bits) Just go for it r you will never know wat could happen, lifes short.

Just go to Coppers. The birds in there will feel you up while you're at the bar and pinch your ass while you're dancing. I'd say you could nearly consider that as a first move.

i can testify to that after we left for kennedys last friday night it went all downhill

[paul_oshea]

i cant answer gerrit as i was sure i knew!!!

[dahamsta]

Just go to Coppers.

I was told that about Coppers, but I didn't see it the one (and only) time I was there. The best I ever saw was a place called Quids Inn in Swansea - it was actually two quid in, go figure - and the difference between there and Irish clubs was astounding. If a chick fancied you, she just went for it. No doubt it is (or was) the Welsh equivalent of Coppers, but still...

Great place to go on the p*ss, Swansea. Ferry from Ringaskiddy, drink all the way there and all the way back.

ya i dont beleive that about coppers ive been there a few times now and i have never pulled!!!! and i always pulll!!!LOL

ah no but even the mates cant guarantee a meet.

[dahamsta]

I never "pull", not into that culture, but I watched other people in Coppers. It goes against everything I heard about it: It's not way easier to score in there, and it's not that bad.

It couldn't be easier if it was on a plate ffs!!!

[Eire06]

Give over...
Coppers is like a cattle mart, if your out to buy you'll always get some heifer at the end of the night and If you're anyway decient you'll have the pick of the herd ..
And Girls can ALWAYS pull in there if they want to

[finlma]

In faireness Coppers is like shooting fish in a barell but the fish don't tend to be off the highest quality.

[paul_oshea]

ya if you want a galway minger nurse ya fire ahead. some big heifer, but anything half decent it aint that easy and coppers aint that bad a spot, i think its a good laugh with mates. i remember one night no jokin, but me and another lad must have went up to every single group of girls in there. not trying to get away but just having the craic. i think its that kinda place more so than a meat market.

ya i aint into that "pullin" business either but when i do go out i meant.

Chalk it down!
The place is almost intimidating, the birds are so forward in there.
I was in there a couple of weeks ago and thought someone was trying to pick my pocket while I was at the bar.
Swung around to see this blonde girl smiling at me while she ran her hand up and down my leg/ass.
I thought I was going through airport security with all the touching up on the dance floor.
