I'm always asked about nationality when I try to book an appointment. The funniest thing that happened to me was when I had to say few sentences in my language to verify where I come from. As I found out later there was Czech lady in the apartment, who could understand my language. That's how I went thru a verification process. I'm also refused very often, but it doesn't bother me. There"s many nice ladies you could call. Even if they refuse to meet you, be nice and positive. Say "I understand, thanks anyway" or "have a nice day, bye". Being frustrated or annoyed never helps. Watch Irish TV programs,follow the news and gossips, listen to radio, read posts on EI, these will help in grasping Irish sense of humor. Also socialise with people. Try to change your attitude because making marriage offers sounds creepy and not like a joke.
Despite of being eastern European I'm still hoping to meet the most famous Romanian lady on EI. Good night all, have a nice sunday.
