A few years ago an article was published online commenting on just how bad the Irish were at dating and sex. As you can tell from the many posts we’ve published here at F-Buddy, we hope you know that we disagree completely. However following our own snap survey conducted over the past few weeks, we were disappointed to discover that there is still much work to be done when it comes to getting out and getting laid in Ireland. Pay attention readers as the following pitfalls are something that you can avoid.
What Irish Daters Have Been Doing Wrong
1. Drinking too much before a date - Without a drink we’re shy
According to 87% of respondents surveyed, unless they have a drink before hand, the chances of them talking to someone they fancy are almost 0%. Crippling shyness seems to breed in spades in Ireland so a drink seems to be the only answer.
2. Failing to actually ask a person out
That’s right. According to a staggering 97% of you, you are rubbish at actually asking someone out. Instead you rely on a few drinks before making any kind of approach. This needs to be resolved or you will never get as much sex as you deserve.
3. 84% of men pay for the first date
Are you living in the 19th Century? You do not have to pay for everything anymore. Most people believe in splitting things equally.
4. You all share the same friends
I don’t know how true this actually is, but according to 72% of you, everyone claims to know a friend of the person they’re dating as their own friend. Seriously people, you need to get some new friends!
5. Your talent for small talk is alarmingly rubbish
87% of you said you would struggle to find things to talk about on a first date. I know we can all clam up every now and then when meeting someone for the first time, but there are plenty of things to talk about even if you don’t realise it at first.
6. You play games more than anyone else
According to 89% of men and 87% of women, you all like to play games with your date. Instead of responding to messages when you can, you deliberately wait a while before sending a message back to make it seem like you’re ‘cool’ or ‘chilled out’. Newsflash: that doesn’t let your date know you want to get kinky with them.
So what can we learn from all this? Simple: stop acting like idiots and start using some of that amazing Irish charm that only other people can dream of.
