The ginger friend definitely drew the short straw anyway. The two lads they were matched with were chalk and cheese.

Yay! They did hit it off. Her hair is a lovely colour as well. I wonder how they all got their hair done

Hairdressers where open I’d say around recording time

Her get up seems a bit over the top - the jewellery etc. (Just because she mentioned it herself)

Deeper Blue

The ginger and the dweeb must be the worst match of the series so far, up there with the Italian and the Tipp girl

I think restrictions up north were more relaxed than here last summer/autumn

I know it’s old fashioned, but leaving the girl to pick up the bill is just awful.

I would have sensed she wasn't into me and if she offered to pay it then sure go on why not!

He was, but I'd consider the term somewhat endearing

Seriously who thought they would be a match! Still - it’s makes it more entertaining for viewers I guess!

It's an alt-right slur, popular among the incel community.

Under normal circumstances I can't fault your logic.....BUT with the cameras rolling for a tv show.......jesus.......he should've 'stepped up'

Fair enough. I couldn’t do it and would insist on paying.

Camera or not, he should have insisted on at least going halves.

guy was an irritating dose but so what if she paid ?

only dinner , not his motor loan

Still Ill

Well, that was absolutely excruciating!
Feel sorry for the poor guy, but he really should've known better than to let her pay! He's gonna get some amount of ridicule for that one

Off the shoulder number worked well for her, good looking lady indeed....a bit worried that the love of her life died at 20 and her marriage broke down because of his memory....it's quite sad, hope she finds it this time around

This is one of the reasons why I would never go for a meal as a first date. The inevitable argument about paying. The awkwardness of going halves when you never carry cash. Trying to come across as attractive and dignified while stuffing your face and having food on your chin.

At least with drinks or coffee, you can take it in turns to pay.

Surreptitious

It is easy for everyone to say for him to pay but when you are being filmed like that, it's possible he was taken by surprise and thought it meant she was into him? I thought he was sound enough.
