    Actually quite liked the hippy Trinity college pair - they were quite sweet and different- glad they met up again ��

    I liked them. He was totally smitten. Adorable

    So, lads, what do ye all think of free will? And mortality?

    Thought the cork guy seemed sound at the beginning then he started asking the girl to go to turkey, in a not very jokey way, so cringey, lost all respect for him. That blonde girl is so pretty though, she reminds me of the singer Tove Lo. She seemed a lot older than 20

    The auld fella not being able to say goodbye to his wife when she passed, Im in floods :( He seems like such a gent. Himself and Maureen are just too bloody cute together, actually made my night seeing them

    It might have been cringe but it was coming from a slight lack of confidence I’d say and trying to say something funny and fill in the gaps . I wouldn’t “lose all respect “for this poor fella over that - overall you would know he was decent and a good type .

    I actually felt sorry for him as she’s wasn’t the easiest in terms of conversation.

    Just watching the repeat now. Enjoyed this weeks episode. All very humble and fun people barring except that Blanch couple who while werent that bad i thought the bogger comments were a bit cringey and ignorant

    Pat and Maureen were great. Its amazing how much common ground they had. Genuine salt of the earth Dubs. None of your fancy airs and graces.

    Thing i just noticed is that there is dates from other episodes going on in the background.

    What is it about people in modern society who rule out a second date because they 'didnt feel the spark right away'? Are we that much of an instant gratification society? It sounds so arrogant and ridiculous. 2nd date fair enough but anyone expecting fireworks on a first date needs to really review their expectations and have a word with themselves.

    Its an easy way of saying I didnt fancy them.

    To be honest, it's just an easy way of letting someone down. IF you don't fancy them and feel like they would probably wreck your head if you saw them again then what's the point.

    What I really hate, and there's been a few instances of this already is the following:

    ''Would you like to see each other again?''

    Person 1: ''I would love to see him/her again''

    *Long pause and the other persons face lights up*

    Person 1: ''.... as a friend''

    Patronizing rubbish, obviously if you don't go on another date you'll never meet up as friends.

    They won't say it but usually its the physical attraction that is the 'spark 'they're talking about :P

    Fair point. I suppose it is a blind date after all.

    Pat seems like a knob, either ask for a drink you like or feck off if you're given one you don't like.

    Does he look very like the first fella they matched her with previously?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,786 ✭✭✭wakka12


    Dont understand how you wouldn't be able to remember the face of somebody you went on a date with unless it was over like ten years ago and they look completely different or something which doesnt seem like the case with those two from the first season, he didn't seem to remember her when she said they'd been on a date before


    OMG the american bartender really irritates me he's just so cringe

    The two gay guys seem nice I wouldn't be surprised if they say yes to each other


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,662 ✭✭✭✭The Princess Bride


    Apart from the will I/won't I drink, I think Pat comes across as sound.
    Hope he doesn't name drop because of his former RTÉ connections.

    At least he’s wearing socks!

    Mrs Monkey : do you think he’s Gay?
    Me: 100%
    Mrs Monkey : why, he could be metrosexual.
    Me: No he’s gay he’s not wearing socks.
    Mrs Monkey : your worse than my dad with the gays.
    Me : so he knows about the no socks thing as well.

    She’s a first timer to the show : )
