    • A good tip if you are dating an Irish man is to show an interest in Irish culture! This could be the likes of Gaelic football and hurling, to traditional music and the Irish language.
    • It is very important, if you are dating an Irish person, to respect family values. Family is a vital part of Irish culture.
    • Always be open to a casual pub date, where you could end up going for a couple of pints at the local bar (or maybe more!).
    • Having a good sense of humour and not taking yourself too seriously is a great tip we can give you if you are dating an Irish man.
    • Lastly, enjoy the outdoors! If you are dating an Irish man, it is likely they will love a good hike or a walk in the great outdoors that is the vast Irish landscape.

    The Irish are known for their low-key and laid back spirit. They are chill as they come, and this down to earth mentality is bound to keep you at ease and grounded on your date.

    So, sit back, relax and laugh alongside the lilt of the Irish accent.

    9. They love their tea – anyone for a cuppa?

    Irish people tend to consume tea by the bucket load, therefore it should come as no surprise that one of our reasons to go on a date with an Irish man is their love of tea (and often a biscuit too!).

    The big and burning questions will be Barry’s or Lyons. Choose wisely!

    8. They’re friendly as they come – and who wouldn’t want that?

    The Irish are known for their love of cosy pubs and social environments. One thing that you can often be sure of when dating an Irish man is that they are always up for a few cheeky pints!

    Often suggested as a first date – aka, break the ice material – you’re bound to have an evening of laughter with an Irish man alongside a few pints.

    4. They have big families – and with that comes loyalty and respect

    Traditionally, the Irish are known to have large families. And while this is a dwindling convention, it is still common for the lad you are dating to having siblings, cousins, aunties and uncles coming out of his ears!

    It could be considered that this only boasts benefits as it is said that those with big families are more prone to values of loyalty and respect.

    3. He loves his mammy – a solid trait in any boyfriend

    One nearly textbook characteristic is for every Irish guy to love their mammy (their mum) to the moon and back.

    That’s not to mean that they are a mummy’s boy per se, but that unfaltering love and devotion certainly is a charming quality in any man.

    2. They’re well-mannered – please & thank you!

    Another one of the reasons to go on a date with an Irish man is that they are often known to boast some of the best manners going.

    Expect please and thank you to the bus driver and many apologies as you walk through a busy street (“sorry… oh, sorry… excuse me… sorry”).
