I've stayed in the last two weekends

Me too. What's your excuse? I've had a cold for nearly 3 weeks and we're too short staffed for me to pull a sicky during the week.

 

[FiFi_LaRue]

I've given up.

i have actually started pretending that i have loads of work to do so i can avoid going out at the weekends

i need a break from getting spiked by my mates every time i go out. it gets funnier every time and i think my sides will literally split next time.

Fuck, your friends sound like a hoot!

www.dublinstreets.blogspot.com is where I meet all my people,

I was wondering how long I would be looking at that page before I found someone I know.

6th person down.

Ya gotta love Ireland.

Jaysus! Fun times with your mates by the sounds of things.

I'm just fed up going to the same places with the same people. My friends are great, but they're in a routine at the moment and I'm not able to get 'em out of it. Half of them are in relationships and almost all of the half who aren't, are gay, so gay nights tend to be the order of the day lately. Mostly because the ones in relationships don't care about meeting people so are happy to go to the likes of the George/Front Lounge, but I'm a bit shtuck as a result!

It's easier to stay in

That's silly. Find interesting gigs and go alone. You'll meet people (new friends or otherwise) trust me.

Jill's right, anyway what's the worst that could happen?

A few days ago I was asked out by a guy who'd told me he liked Bon Jovi "ironically" (he actually did the bunny ears thing!!!!) and later told my friend to suck in her gut (she's a size 10/12) .

Definitely. Going to gigs alone is great. You're there for the music and so guaranteed a good night (as long as you enjoy the bands) and if you make some new friends that's a bonus.

 

[FiFi_LaRue]

Oh I know, if there's a band on who I like I'm happy to go alone. There hasn't really been anything on that I felt like going to.

Also, I'm not saying that I don't have fun when I'm out with my friends, I just find that when out with them it's nigh on impossible to get into a situation where I'll meet other people be they future friends, or otherwise. But I know this before I head out with them, so it's not a huge deal. That and I'd seen most of 'em every weekend since the start of the year, so absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that. I don't mind going to gay clubs/pubs, I'm happy to hang with my friends and if that's where they're going that's cool, but when they're all hooking up and I'm left explaining to girls why I'm in a gay club and I'm not gay it can get a bit tedious

yeah, you usually end up talking to people there at the gig

i have come to like going to gigs alone. another factor there is that people i know know me too well to listen to me when i talk about music

if i didn't go to gigs alone, i wouldn't go to any gigs apart from big bands like radiohead or blink 182.

indeed you're there to listen to the music

Is that some sort of lesbian euphamism?

Maybe it is!
Could be part of my problem!

That's the situation I was in for my first 6 years in Dublin. It was a pain, because I was friends with a few people involved in independent music but I could never go to their gigs. I made a conscious decision to change that 3 years ago and haven't looked back since.

And I've met a lot of lovely people in the process.

Cheers, I suppose I'm sound enough.

He was shocked when i turned him down as i'm an awful edjit most of the time, but he then ignored me for the rest of the day, win-win for me .
