10 things every man should know before dating an Irish girl

by

Us Irish ladies are a loyal bunch but it takes a lot of work to get on our good side.

We don't give our precious time to just anyone. After all, you might have looks to rival Ryan Gosling but if you're not good craic, you can forget about it, buddy.

Here are a few things every man should know about us Irish women…

1. We can't even consider sitting on the couch without a giant fluffy blanket wrapped around us
And a dressing gown too, if we're settling in for the long haul.

 

2. If we wear fake tan, we wear fake tan, and that's just the way it is.
Yup, it smells. But have you SEEN these pasty pink legs without it?

 

3. We will discuss everything with the girls. And we mean everything
Privacy? Never heard of it

 

4. And what we don't tell the girls, we'll probably end up telling our mam next time she calls
"Are you going to tell Granny I met him on Tinder?"

 

5. The nicest thing you could ever do is to make us a cup of tea when we haven't even asked
Getting emotional here just thinking about it.

 

6. If you try and compliment us, we'll instantly brush it off
"ARE YOU MAD?! I'M SUCH A MESS." But inside we'll be delira.

 

7. Even if we have amazing taste in music, we still can't resist a little Westlife/Enya/Johnny Logan
"Everybody's lookin' for that somethiiiiiiing…"

 

8. It might not be ladylike to admit this, but we can drink you under the table
And still have room for garlic cheese chips.

 

9. If we respond to a text with "Fine" you might as well just join Witness Protection now
Likewise if we respond to "Are you okay?" with "YES. I'M GRAND."

 

10. And forget looks because if you're not good craic you don't have a chance
Case in point:

"There are a lot of 'Irish' pubs in America, but they just don't have the 'craic.' You know the word 'craic,' don't…
