The Best Dating Advice

Every March, many a young man and woman throughout the land head out from the safety of their homes to embark on an epic adventure. For some it will be a treacherous journey from sobriety through many twists, turns and Irish whiskey into the very bowels of debauchery. Others, may fare better keeping an even keel at the helm of some hops and barley. Whichever path you choose, to get the most out of your day or night you will need to bring along two essentials: your best friend and a stomach of steel.

Here is some of the best Irish Pub advice for meeting members of the opposite (or even same) sex and having an awesome St. Patty’s Day:

1.) Know your beers. There are only three beers you want to be concerned with on this day:
Harp, Smithwicks (pronounced Smit-iks) and Guinness. Sorry, but putting green dye in a Budweiser does not make it Irish.

2.) Wear something Green. Dress up for it, just like you would a costume party. It lets everyone know you’re in the spirit of the day and not just some oblivious drunk. The Dollar Store is a great place to pick up disposable accessories. The official shade of green for this day is Kelly Green.

3.) Tattoos. Everybody wants to show their Irish pride on St. Patrick’s Day and there’s no better way to get to know your neighbours (especially the cute ones) than putting temporary tattoos of beer pints and leprechauns on their faces.

4.) Know your music. Take a few minutes to memorize an old Irish tune and be willing to sing it, badly. There’s a wealth of music out there to choose from. But the classic with great appeal that is still fresh has to be “Dirty Old Town”. Stay away from “Danny Boy”, unless you’re hoping to attract a lot of old men.

The most important thing to remember is it’s all about having fun. If you bring a lot of high energy, any group you approach will be receptive to receiving you. Don’t linger too long, meet other people and check back with them. Create intrigue and create an atmosphere of “play” with whomever you run into. Now, that is very attractive.
