These days, the options for dating have increased to the point where it seems we have an endless choice of options. From the traditional times of meeting a girl in the bar to the modern apps such as Tinder, to dating sites. Northern Ireland is a small country of only 1.8 million people and therefore a closeknit community. Though many international relationships do develop here, there is still a huge need for local dating options and very much a “try before you buy” culture. Northern Ireland football fans have a good sense of humour when it comes to dating and sex too – on a recent trip to Belarus, a tongue-in-cheek chant of “get ‘er bucked” could be heard echo-ing in unison and aimed at the Belarusian ladies. Here are some options for dating in Northern Ireland’s six counties.
Dating For Sex
Let’s get straight to the point – sometimes people date with just one thing in mind – sex, nookie, bucking, call it what you want. Girls and boys both get pleasure and sex dating is now a realistic and big part of dating cultures in Northern Ireland and beyond. Plus, you get to practice sex and have a pleasurable evening, but make sure to wear protection!
No Strings Dating
A much more casual approach is the idea of “no strings dating”. What this entails is that neither part expects too much, or even too lite. There are no strings attached. You don’t have to get under the covers, you don’t have to kiss, you don’t have to feel any pressure. It could be just cinema dates, nights down the pub or walks in a romantic forest like Crawfordsburn or Tullymore. There are plenty of online options to set this up, for example a site like nostringsdating net allows users to set up casual dates and just go with the flow, see what happens.
Dating in the Dark
Perhaps one of the more intriguing options these days, and available in the capital city, Belfast is Dating in the Dark. This is of course a modern take on Blind Date. You won’t actually really see what your partner looks like. Of course the toilets have lights, but they are gender separated! So have a dinner together and chat away, and then…if there is a connection you can go out into the night and check each other out under a street lamppost, or indeed head to a pub after the dinner in the darkness!

Speed Dating
This is another form of dating which has really taken off in the last decade or so. Basically it allows you the chance to speak to a lot of “dates” at the same time, well one after another. The ladies are positioned at 15 tables, while 15 guys come in and they each get 5 minutes at each table to try and impress. It’s a great way for getting your confidence up and getting to know someone quickly. You just never know – it really could lead to romance but you will never actually know until you try it. Pick the partners from these “speed dates” that impressed you and see if there is a match.
Those are just four quick options for modern dating in Northern Ireland. Stay safe, be honest and good luck!
