When I was living in Ireland aged 20/21 I hadn't been out of New Zealand long as was used to New Zealand girls being a lot more reserved than the Irish girls I met. Some of them could be quite forward and when I got attention from them I really didn't know how to handle it. I used to go bright red as well.

But now at 28 I find there's pretty much nothing that phases me, I think you just get more confident with age and experience. Where are the irish girls now though that I'm ready for them? haha
