LOL I see what you did there.



You're so clever.

I am eating cave aged hard goats cheese with almonds and wasabi peas. Cake is like so last season.
I am also drinking a really nice French red.

you two get a room. A Scots are fabled for their stinginess. Even with the famous friendlier Norf vs stuck up saaf devide.

and NI people are annoying ..just listen to that accent...blah blah woe is me..blah ..woe...woe..me..blah

^ OK that was probably bait, so I am trying very hard not to rise to it and start ranting indignantly at you again.

^ well done!!

So, the thorny question of the first date, in the American situation. My advice - speak in a Norn Iron accent.

'Bout ye, hey

Was it a trap?

Did I just pass some sort of test?

yeah sure, whatever.

Anyway, forgot to say, for the first date Molly, what you want to do is get yourself over to Vancouver.
a) it's an awesome city
b) cake shops are everywhere. People go out and meet for cake (but they serve alcohol too) so if you don't want to do dinner it's ideal.
c) canadians are friendly and nice
d) it's full of Asians, if that's your sort of thing
e) did I mention it was awesome?

We know all "aboot" you now! You're Canadian!

I always thought that to spake like yous it was "Bout ye, hi!"

No Yellowman?

I have never heard "bout ye" before. The only NI slang I am familiar with is "craic" and "yer man."

When I was first around NI people I couldn't understand why they kept thinking I had so many boyfriends. They seemed to think every man they were talking about belonged to me.

(They were always saying "Your man David" and "your man Stephen" and "your man that works in the pub" even though none of those men were actually my men at all).

Now I'm hearing a NI accent in my head.

nice try, I wish I was! I like it in Canadia.

At first i was amzed to see three pages of replies since I last checked.. then i realized it had just been hijacked lol.

Speaking as an American woman lostiehere's advice is sound. Open doors, pick up the tab even if she pretends to want to, and compliment her once but don't over do it or you come across a a creepy guy who only wants one thing.

After the relationship is established that's when you either 'go dutch' or alternate who pays each week. But social convention is first date is on the man and opening doors is just plain polite.

How many dates have you been on? And wait a minute, you're the woman who's going to hang around hospitals...no, I think you can speak for yourself, not one hundred million women.

Why be bound by stupid social convention on dating, which generally backfire anyway?

Which, when you think about it, is how you would want conversation on a date, or whenever you meet someone you like, to go!
