Missed First Dates Ireland? Here's what happened

Thu, 16 Feb, 2017 - 22:49

Love was in the air tonight as five couples tried to find love on a blind date in Dublin's fair city.

Lucy from Roscommon was matched with 24-year-old Aidan.

Lucy is a student nurse, in her final year.

They had a few awkward encounters that had folks at home curling their toes with cringing embarrassment.

We're cringing 🙈 #FirstDatesIRL pic.twitter.com/S0uP3Wv09h

Aidan's confusion of Tinder struck a chord with the audience.

Although Aidan wanted to go on another date, Lucy, did not.

Oops! awkward rejection there! #FirstDatesIRL

Jane, 26, from Wicklow and Daisy, 22, from Dublin were an interesting match. Daisy is a bisexual and Jane is a lesbian.

The highlight of their date was the 'piss the bed story' Jane told about when she slept with a man.

He wet the bed!!!! #FirstDatesIRL pic.twitter.com/ushx5rAdPS

They decided they would like to to meet again.

Lynn, 35, from Dublin, went on a date with Eamon, 27, from Limerick.

Lynn has a very progressive outlook! ❤️🙌 #FirstDatesIRL pic.twitter.com/8nLiAY1wo0

Eamon's clothes was the topic of conversation on Twitter.

But the pair hit it off and had a great time.

Unfortunately Lynn was not feeling the spark.

"Yeah same yeah"........the eyes say otherwise #firstdatesirl

Simon, 33, Dublin and Sinead, 34 from Tipperary were next at The Gibson Hotel looking for love.

Sinead is a marketing manager who wants someone to impress her mammy

A good set of teeth and a dancer You'd want to be going to the states for that sort of thing #FirstDatesIRL

Simon works in media, and has a 12-year-old girl, while Sinead has a 16-year-old son,

Wait now these people have a 12-year old and a 16-year old... neither of them look like they'd have kids that age! #FirstDatesIRL

Ohhh they both have KIDS!! Juicy plot twist ☕️ #FirstDatesIRL

And they hit it off.

Simon took the bull by the horns and asked Sinead out before the awkward moment of truth.

Fiiiiiiiiiinaly, after fucking months of this programme it's taken one lad to stop the awkward rejection before it can happen #FirstDatesIRL
