Do yourselves a favour and turn it off, it only gets worse. Were bringing in a no socks no drink policy in the local after watching this and the edjit on the late late show the other night.
Used to be tracksuits were banned, how times have changed.

The quiet lad seemed respectful but faced with that muppet what could he have done?

So 180.35 total, with a tip thats 100quid each.

Probably a stupid question but can anyone make out how it cost that much?

Looks like
Chunky Fries
2 x TDH (Table D'Hote I presume) Starter
2 x TDH Main
Not sure what's under that
Can't quite make out but something like Godfather - presume these are cocktails
Blue Wave Martini
Long Island Iced Tea
and what I assume is wine.....

Pretty hefty bill alright!

Those two boys on the date are just cringe/painful! The guy from Offaly is just a horrible person. The Galway dude was clearly overcompensating and trying to be funny cause he was shy and out of his depth, but the other dude was a pure dick. Sneering at him and being flat out rude. :rolleyes: Of course the Leigh guy decided then he hated him, he was an ass. Horrible, horrible people. Pure example of huge defence mechanisms in operation on both sides.

I loved how open the Enda Kenny lad was about your woman. They weren't well matched but he went with it and they seemed to have a generally pleasant evening nonetheless...

I only watched this episode cause my mate was telling me about yer wan in the silver dress.... I am not a fan of the Irish First Dates, the UK one is def much better....

Yeah it's Godfather and Godmother

Awful mis-match of couples last night. I mean the Dublin how-ya and the quiet country man. Wtf
Also the double-dates were a disaster. Though the 2 girls got on well despite the constant distractions.
Couldn't stand the chubby 32 year old girl who seemed to think she was attractive. A fairly common Irish female trait I'm sorry to say, just a really bad attidude/almost victim complex towards men in general going on. Spare me

The two from Athenry had the least Galway accents I’ve ever heard ‘loike’. God I hate teenagers, told the hubby the smallies are going to boarding school if they are like that!

Yea and they were bloody rude as well, the girl walking off leaving her date on her own on the couch while she went running after the lad with the stupid hair do.

Watched it last night.

I don't get why the woman made a big thing of splitting the bill, he didn't ask her on the date so it's only fair to split the bill.

And then she says she isn't interested in him but they can go out on the town that night and he can foot the bill.

For me she was by the far worst on that episode. I didn’t think she was attractive on the outside and most definitely not inside. The bloke she had was really nice! Came across as very common with delusions of being something she ain’t. Couldn’t stand her!

The lad from Galway was a head melt, felt sorry for his date, the 2 girls were too similar tbh, Jackie was cringe, Amy and Ben seemed nice though Amy ruined it for me when she moaned about the bill.

I thought the Offaly guy was worse actually, very judgmental of the other chap and very critical of him.
On Jackie, Joey said he wanted a Scary Spice...and by jasus he got her!!

I think he was plssed off as he realised it was a wasted night out. Can't blame him, even though he didn't come out smelling of roses either.

The Athenry lad was too immature, constantly looking to his mate for support and to make eye contact. I mean, imagine you're on a date and your date keeps looking around for their mate. Headwrecking stuff alright.

That's the minefield dating is, especially this programme where i gather they are blind dates. It's hit or miss and chances are you may not be compatible or even like the person romantically- but grin and bear it for a while, have a conversation and keep an open mind. You may even find a common area of interest or something. Then at the end if you don't fancy seeing them again, just politely and diplomatically say there's no spark etc. Like Jackie did
Not insult the guy, belittle him and make phone calls/drama behind his back.

It was even worse for the black guy, bad enough getting stood up on a date but for it to happen on national television was bad.

I gather he's coming back for the next episode...

I think they should ban mobile phone on the dates, that pair from athenry really drove it home. It's adding nothing to the show.

Should be banned anywhere socialising is involved.

Is Drogheda in Dundalk?
Do you live in a house, or in an estate?
