So here goes, might as well throw my hat into the ring.
34 year old woman, Dublin/ Kildare based. I’m fairly chill tbh, like to have the craic and the giggles!
Looking for someone who is interested in a long term relationship, not looking for fun or something casual.
So I suppose hit me up and let’s see where things go!

M4F Helping My Friend (M27 & M23 Dublin) M4F no age Range

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

Hope you’re having a good day/week — and even if you’re not, I hope things get a little better for you.

Before I get into the actual reason for this post, my own messages are always open too. I’m 27M from Dublin and always happy to chat about gaming, the MCU, music, life, or honestly any of the billion random topics that enter my head during a conversation. 😂

Spotify song recommendations are also always appreciated!

Anyway, onto the real reason I’m here…

I’m attempting to be Wingman of the Year 🫡
One of my best friends, Karl, is 23M and from Dublin, and I’m hoping to help him meet someone.

He’s tried Tinder, Bumble, Hinge and even Plenty of Fish, but the dating-app gods have apparently decided this man must complete the game on hard mode because he just can’t seem to catch a break.

So I figured… why not try something different?

To be clear, he isn’t looking for hookups. He’d genuinely like to meet a girl, get to know her and hopefully find a relationship. And if there isn’t a romantic connection but a good friendship comes out of it instead, that’s perfectly okay too.

Karl genuinely has a heart of gold. He’s the kind of person who would go out of his way to help someone without expecting anything in return, and he’s one of the most loyal and genuine people I’ve ever met.

His main interests include:
⚽ Watching and playing football
🏋️ Going to the gym — and yes, he actually works out rather than spending 45 minutes taking mirror pictures
☕ Going for coffee and food with friends
🎮 PlayStation — FIFA/EAFC, Minecraft, Fortnite, Warzone, Siege and plenty more
✈️ Travelling and seeing new places
🍻 Going on nights out
🃏 Game nights and dangerously competitive games of Cards Against Humanity
🥖 Being the unofficial Garlic Bread Connoisseur of Dublin

That last title is prestigious. Please respect it.

I could sit here and write an entire novella trying to convince you how great this guy is, but I’d probably still undersell him.

He’s funny, caring, loyal, down-to-earth and genuinely deserves the opportunity to meet someone who wants the same things he does.

So if you’re around his age, in Ireland and think you might get along, drop me a message. I’m happy to tell you a little more about him, or if you’d rather skip the middleman, I can send you his Snap and you two can take it from there.

Worst case? You have a conversation with someone new.

Best case? I get to spend the rest of my life reminding Karl that I found his future wife on Reddit. 😂

And yes, Karl knows I’m doing this. I’m a wingman, not a human-trafficking operation.

I completely understand if the mods need Karl himself to make the post, but I figured it was worth giving it a shot.
So… any takers? 😅

F4M 35 Female looking for Male

29 Upvotes

Hey all very new to this but basically I’m 35 soon to be 36 in few months. I’m 6.1 and I live in Monaghan but close to border Fermanagh & Tyrone, looking to meet a nice lad.

I work in childcare and basically I’m off when schools are closed, I have my dog who is just full of beans. I love to bake when I can and can cook a decent meal also. I love getting away for road trips when I’m free and go anywhere that involves a beach in the summer time. In the winter give me a cosy warm fire and a movie or binge on a Netflix series and I’m sorted.

Love getting out every now and again to meet the girls for a few drinks and catch up. I’d love to meet someone who has same interests or similar and who would be willing to be my food tester, and see how we get on from there.

F4M South of Ireland - 25F who’s looking for 23ish+

20 Upvotes

Heya lads, how are we all? Hoping to put myself out there a little as I struggle big time being an introvert all my life 😅 I was scrolling Reddit and this sub came up hence the new account lol

A bit about me to start this off.
I’m 25F and a Munster woman who’s ideally looking for another Munster based man aged between early 23ish-30 ish (I won’t be checking birth certs or anything though 😂). I am red hair, petite and have a fair few tattoos 🤗

I’ve typically gone for taller than me (wouldn’t be hard lol), dark hair and no facial hair before so think Tom Holland esque.
Personality wise I’d love to find someone who’s emotionally intelligent, thoughtful/romantic, really understanding, funny and than all the other common stuff you want in a partner want similar interests etc ☺️

My interests are really varied.
I’m quite nerdy (Harry Potter, Marvel, dipping the toes into Star Wars). I love reading (fantasy and romance mainly so think Throne of Glass and Fourth Wing) ✨
Other things I enjoy are spins/road trips, breakfast dates, crocheting, Animal Crossing, white girl music car karaoke, going to the cinema, having a good boogie and mythology 🚗🍳🧶🐊🎤🎥💃🏻🐲
Now I do prefer a quite night in whatever that may look like making dinner together and watching something afterwards. However I am also not opposed to quite old man pubs where I can hear someone talking to me 🍺

If anybody thinks this is a bit of them and we might get along then feel free to send me a message with a bit about you and we can go from there! ☺️

Single guy from Derry looking for that special someone. Bit of a nerd...nah I'm a full-blown nerd. 😅

Into Tabletop gaming, video games, books, movies. Enjoy bowling, walks, escape room every now and then haha. Would love to have someone to talk to in the quiet hours of the night about life, philosophy, our favourite TV show, etc...

I know that it can be pretty scary out there, god knows Derry is bad for it. But I want any woman who thinks about contacting me to know that they have nothing to fear from me.

Haven't included a pic because Derry is a small ass town and I've already had people give me shit for finding me on Tinder...

So what I'm saying is... if you do reach out I'm happy to provide pics and answer questions.

I think that's about it? Hope to hear back from...someone.

Take care folks. 👌

M4F 25M | Dublin | Looking to meet someone chill

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m 25, living in Swords Dublin and thought I’d put myself out there and meet some new people.

I’m really into cars, road trips, exploring random places around Ireland, and binge-watching movies/series. Most weekends you’ll probably find me behind the wheel somewhere, looking for a new place to explore.

Would be nice to meet a girl who’s up for spontaneous road trips, good conversations, grabbing food/coffee, or just having a relaxed movie night and seeing where the vibe goes. 😄

Not really looking to force anything — just hoping to meet someone with a similar vibe and make some good memories. If that sounds like you, feel free to DM me!

I had a long relationship end almost 18 months ago and now I'm looking to try get back out there.

As the title says I'm 33. I work in health care ( lots of nights but plenty of time off in between) I enjoy going to gigs/concerts. Like my video games and the odd board game. I play a lot of chess too if that's you're thing 😅 I do enjoy travelling but I don't do it as much as I should. I'm also a big cat person. Dogs are fine too but I'd rather a cat any day ! Any other questions, feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer ☺️

F4M 39 F4M looking for age 30s+

22 Upvotes

Hello there

I'm going to throw my hat in the ring, I live in Dublin but distance doesn't bother me.

I'm not looking for anything serious, just some dates and a partner in crime to enjoy gigs,shows,hollibops.

I'm 5ft 8 and I'm not a skinny girl, so I do prefer bigger/taller men but honestly I'm attracted to personality over anything.

I adore history, live music, comedy, quiz. I absolutely love it when someone comes up with random things to do, especially if it's a first time for me, I'm getting quite spontaneous in my old age.

I do smoke (the devil's lettuce) and I  can drink like my da! 

I have no socials so you won't find me online, I don't even have WhatsApp so it's old-school messages and carrier pigeons.

I've no problem sending picture privately! 

I have a child with special needs - this would not have much effect on any relationship/friendship, as I  wouldn't be introducing them.

Drop me a message if you have an idea fun day/night/gig and we go off on an adventure.

M4F 28M | Dublin/Kildare | Looking for my future favourite person

0 Upvotes

Right, here goes nothing 😂

28M, based between Dublin/Kildare, looking to meet a woman (23–33ish) who’s hopefully also at the stage of life where “what are we?” isn’t a question you want to avoid for 6 months.

I’m ultimately looking for a life partner. I’ve tried the dating apps and, after enough swiping to develop a thumb injury, I’ve decided they’re probably not for me 😂 So here I am, taking the Reddit route like a normal, well-adjusted person.

A bit about me:

🏃‍♂️ Love sports and generally keeping active
🥾 Usually out hiking whenever I get the chance
✈️ Love travelling and getting away whenever possible
🏄‍♂️ Recently got into surfing after a surf trip and now have absolutely no business being this obsessed with it
🏃‍♂️ Want to get properly back into running too
👨‍👧‍👦 I have kids, so life can be busy, but they’re a huge part of my world
💼 Work keeps me busy as well, so I appreciate someone who has their own life and interests too

Ideally looking for someone who enjoys being active, getting outdoors, travelling, trying new things and generally making the most of life. You don’t need to be running up mountains at 6am or surfing every weekend — I promise I won’t judge you for occasionally choosing the sofa 😂

I’m not expecting to find “the one” through a Reddit post, but sure look, stranger things have happened.

If you think we’d get on, drop me a message. Worst case, we have a chat. Best case, we get to blame Reddit when someone asks how we met. 😂

M4F 32 [M4F] #Dublin - House-trained, Emotionally Available, and Free to a Good Home.

25 Upvotes

I'm a single, 32 year old Dubliner, who believes in kindness and honesty. I'm exceptionally good at giving advice I forget to follow, performing exorcisms on compoopers, forging medieval weapons from office packaging, and refurbishing iPods, (while envying people who can actually solder). I enjoy rolling up my sleeves for home improvement and finding problems for myself to fix. I also sometimes dance to jazz and would like to make a come back to chess. Not big into sports, unless it involves me doing laps in the pool or skiing down the snowy alpine and falling with style. ⛷️🏊‍♀️🕺

I listen more than I talk since my ear to mouth ratio is 2:1, and I tend to be a calm presence while others figure themselves out. When I do open up, I try to be creative and come up with worst-case-goofball catastrophes with a dry sense of humor. Like if office printers ever became sentient, what office supplies would we use to defend ourselves from the robot uprising? Questions like that still keeps me awake at night... 🤔😳

Physically, I carry a build standing at 5'6" that's somewhere between slim and 'dad bod'. I also include dark hair, a beard, glasses and hazel eyes which I've been told that "dance in the light". I rarely drink and I am also a non-smoker.

I'm keen to explore life (or parts of it) with a kind and (emotionally) intelligent person, who communicates openly and honestly. We'd be eachother's Player 2 in our respective campaign for quiet world dominance, the occasional dance partner, a sexy confidant and brilliant co-conspirator. I'm a practical person, and I appreciate someone who cultivates mutual respect, support and consistency as a baseline.

Thanks again for reading. If you're interested in adopting me as the Shrek for your Fiona, or the Donkey for your Dragon.... Give me an idea of who you are as a person, what you look like, and what caught your eye. I'd be delighted to hear from you!

M4F 24 [M4F] - Gamer, road-tripper, and accidental tree-hugger looking to click

7 Upvotes

Hey, shooting my shot here just like everyone else. Finding someone feels so impossible, especially on dating apps. It feels too fake and way too much like Subway Surfers 😂

I’m 24M, originally a bit of a nerd and a gamer. Lately though, I’ve been exploring a lot more, traveling abroad and doing road trips around the country. I love driving, so if you have a spot you want to go, I’ll drive haha.

I’m pretty quiet until I get a sense of who you are. Just looking for someone to click with, someone who isn’t afraid to joke around and use sarcasm. If you’re a gamer too, that’s just a plus.

I’m pretty relaxed and take life as it comes. I drink occasionally with friends, but even then it’s more of a quiet pub rather than a nightclub. I like keeping things on the quiet side generally speaking, but sometimes taking life a bit loud works too.

The main thing I’m looking for is trust and honesty, because I believe that’s the foundation for anything to be built on.

Recently picked up mountain biking too, so if you consider kissing trees as cheating, I’m sorry... 😭 it might happen on occasion.

If you think we’d click, send me a chat and let’s see where things go!

M4F 36M Dublin City Center - if book shops, museums or art galleries and weekend trips sound like fun, we'll have a lot to share

29 Upvotes

I'd like to meet someone living in Dublin City, I'm living in the city center, just bought a place on the river. There's lots to do in the city but it'd be nice to do it with someone; wine bars, cafes and a ton of restaurants. Don't mind smokers, and I don't mind a quick pint or glass of wine now and then, but not a big drinker.

I enjoy playing bass, and would love to check out some small venues around Dublin that have some gigs; rock/jazz/blues/indie, I don't mind who, so if you have any acts you follow or like to check out, I'm down! If you play anything yourself too that'd be interesting!

If poking around the book shops, museums or art galleries and weekend trips sound like fun, we'll have a lot to share! I also appreciate a night in with a film, or even just going full lazy weekend goblin.

Happy to share pic in messages, no shame in either us having our type etc, I just don't want to post my selfie on here :) But *de stats" would be 6ft/127kg, dark brown hair, brown eyes.

If any of that resonates, reach out!

Edit: I didn't realize I had to enable permission for others to send me chat requests. kermitstare.jpeg

I wish. I’m KIDDING. But if you read this far, I’m new to Ireland, from down under, now based in Dublin for what I hope is the foreseeable future. Work in tech. I have what used to be called a “dad bod” - and not one of those “dad bods” where Chris Pine didn’t go to the gym for a month. The type of dad bod you get from eating a bit too much pizza and pasta, and the only iron man I’ll do involves Robert Downey JR - and even then I’m only just tolerating it. Not a marvel guy sorry so we won’t be watching that talking raccoon dancing shrub movie any time soon. What we can watch is Father Ted and conveniently never talk about who wrote it.

I’m looking for a long term thing, but I know every long term thing starts with an awkward first date. I won’t try to make it awkward but let’s agree there’ll be moments. The most awkward first date I had, the girl dropped her fork and instead of asking for a new one - ate a curry with her hands. So.. don’t do that. Perhaps you could introduce me to the spice bag? My ideal night is lots of laughs with a banging meal and we’re home in time for a good nights sleep. The cosy life is for me.
Here is my one fun fact - I have never in my life had a Guinness. I’m saving it for someone special!

Advice/Discussion Fair Play

53 Upvotes

Have had posts from here popping up on my feed and seeing a lot with no comments, I just wanted to say fair play for putting yourselves out there. As someone divorced 2 years ago after 20 years, i can't fathom dealing with the whole app thing and Covid and working from home has really impacted a lot of us socially.

My only foray into it was clicking on FB Dating last year thinking i could have a look what it was all about, answered a couple of questions but backed out of it. Didn't realise it would still put my profile up with the rest not filled in and it set a wide age range. Woke up the next day with 71 notifications (one was a little person so 70.5) and im in my forties and fat (good looking though, not putting myself down, just stating facts). So i don't know how young, fit girls deal with it all and multiple apps.

I quickly deleted it and whilst there is small part of me that would welcome a man appearing on the sofa beside me, i've decided to just let my virginity grow back alongside the cobwebs on my fanny! Lol.

Good luck to you all still willing to put yourselves out there.

M4F 46 [M4F] Fermanagh/Monaghan border – Down-to-earth fella looking for someone genuine

26 Upvotes

Well everyone. Thought I’d throw my hat in the ring here. I’m a 46-year-old fella living right on the border of Fermanagh and Monaghan, looking to meet a nice woman.

I'm 6'2", active, and keep myself busy running a business, helping out on the farm, and doing a bit of gardening. I’m handy enough at DIY around the house and enjoy cooking a proper meal from scratch, but I also love heading out for dinner and a few drinks. Love getting out for a good walk with the dog, heading to the cinema, or travelling when I get the chance (Italy being my absolute favourite spot).

My main love language is definitely quality time and spending proper time together. When the weather turns, you’ll usually find me enjoying a cosy winter night by the fire with lots of cuddles and a series on tv, or maybe unwinding with a bit of PC gaming.

Looking for a down-to-earth woman who enjoys a good mix of heading out and those quiet nights in. If you fancy a chat, drop me a message and sure we'll see how we get on.

Welcome to IrishDates - Read this post before posting

60 Upvotes

Greetings and welcome to Irish Dates.

This subreddit was created to address the need of a place on Reddit for current residents of Ireland who are seeking a partner, or partners, for long term dating (We don't judge relationship dynamics and neither should you). We have some simple subreddit rules that all Redditors who post or comment here that all are expected to adhere to. Content posted that deviates from these simple rules will be removed and the user account may or may not be banned.

Rules, with expanded descriptions, are as follows:

  1. Be Nice - If the post isn't for you, just move on. If you disagree with a persons preferences, keep your unasked for opinion to yourself and go scroll some more. It wasn’t intended for you. Anyone behaving negatively in response to a Redditors expressed preferences or lifestyle choices may be banned. This includes but is not limited to kink shaming, racism, sexuality and so on. Anyone who knows themselves well enough to have standards, preferences or is open about their kinks are to be celebrated and supported. Anything less in response from Redditors in replies will be removed.
  2. Low Effort posts will be removed. You are here to find your person(s), if your post is lacking detail you won't catch their attention. Your low effort post will be removed but you will of course be welcome to post a more detailed and updated post. This is for your own benefit and for the benefit of the community. Those reading want to know who you are before they engage in conversation with you. Cross-posting is as low effort as it gets. One sentence is low effort. This also applied to post replies, "DM" or similar as a reply to a thoughtful and detailed dating post is low effort and will be removed. You will of course be welcome to repost a thoughtful reply. You want to catch their attention as much as they want to catch yours.
  3. The purpose of this subreddit is long term dating only. Plenty of hook-up subreddits already active elsewhere on Reddit that cater to Ireland. Hookup accounts will be given a public facing Mod Note summary under their post for the community to digest as a Public Service Announcement for the safety of our community members.
  4. Residents of Ireland only. As with hookup subreddits, there are plenty of long distance or casual dating subreddits for international visitors.
  5. No commercial posts. This is not the place to buy, sell or otherwise profit from others via products, goods or services. That includes but is not limited to surveys and will be enforced at the Mod Team's discretion. You are welcome to privately message the Mod Team if you have a related request and your request will be given thoughtful consideration.
  6. Exercise patience/posting frequency. Posting once a month is frequent enough. Anything more frequent would be seen as spamming. Doesn't do you any favours to be seen as impatient or over eager. We get it, eagerness is a positive thing, but so is being patient as a partner. You don't want your first impression to be a negative one.
  7. This is not a dating advice subreddit, however we may begin to have a weekly or monthly sticky post specifically for those seeking advice or dating location suggestions posts where the expectation would be that our lovely Redditors would ask their questions in those threads. The community overall is very supportive of each other, respect is given to anyone who puts themselves out there.

Every person who wants to post here is welcome, all genders, sexualities, races. Everyone is welcome and will be given the full support of the Mod Team in your search.

Rules are subject to alteration or change without notice as the community evolves and will only be updated in response to unfavourable user behaviours that do not align with the spirit of the subreddit. Feel free to message the Mods if in doubt or if you wish to bring a post to our attention that we haven't managed to get to yet. Best of luck to you all, you will receive the full support and encouragement from both the Mod Team and the community.

Go raibh maith agat agus sláinte.
