Then when he offered to pay she should have accepted gracefully instead of faking being happy to go dutch and bitching about it afterwards.

Did she not start the date talking about how she was an independent woman who doesn't rely on a man as well?

Yes! Exactly!

I think many women both young and not so young expect men to be able to mind read.

My advice to them would be stop being a mind fcûk, say what you mean and mean what you say instead of pretending to be something you’re clearly not.

They use the excuse of "it adds to the experience of a date and the whole who pays question is asked".

Reality is it saves them money.

It's great for TV, causes plenty of drama. Shure, just look at us on here arguing the same sh!t over and over each week.

I agree with you a 100% but it’s such a false scenario. On all the first dates I’ve been on it has never come up with the way it seems to so regularly on this show. I have dated so many different types too so it’s not as if that’s the reason. A simple sure I’ll get this, and we moved on to the next funny story or topic of conversation.

It seems that on this show it’s because a point is wanted to be made and probably if it was a regular first date then it wouldn’t be. Saying that I think it’s handled clumsily by a lot of blokes on the show who want to appear to be chivalrous but do more harm than good. One guy on the UK show was the worst when he said ‘don’t be stupid’ to his date. Funnily enough I think she wanted to see him again though.

There are stories going around about the woman you're speaking about above.. That she was with a local married man for ages and posted a letter to his wife.

I think her date should have offered again to pay.. The way he worded it aswell 'ill pay if you want me to' that was ****e.

But yeah she was acting all innocent and independent and i seriously doubt that's the case

15-02-2019 09:26PM

well your man saoirse was going on about girls being mean to him growing up FFS, he's a bag of water end of story and if they are a real MOM ans SON then that's even more annoying as they obviously fancy themselves as good telly!! eejits who have YES men around them. People like that are as bad as that tallafornia clown as well, at least ye know he's a wanker and not like these saps masquerading as normal...bleeding modern family wannabes!

But you can be independent and still have a guy pay for the first date. Now if that continues into the relationship the independent tag becomes diluted. But that’s my point, I have never heard anyone that I’ve been on a first date with go on about how independent they are. Now if we talked about her it should be obvious based on her life and experiences. But someone who goes straight into telling a guy or girl how independent they are, they invariably are not.

Absolutely. It just annoyed me how she was the one to mention going halves first. Then again, and then got annoyed when he did. She only has herself to blame

Was saoirse the dude who in the lidl ad tries to put condoms in mammys shopping trolley?

I must say overall I'm really enjoying this series, it's holding my attention very well. I think it has the right mix of 'characters' and genuinely nice people, the dates overall are quite interesting to watch I think. Certainly one of the better things on tv right now.

Strangely a couple of the girls I work with found him very attractive , I would have thought the same as yourself,

It takes all sorts. I thought he was smarmy and in love with himself. Also, didn't bother washing his hands after going to the toilet.

And the talking in Irish constantly to her after she said that she doesn't speak it at all.

Didn't matter to his date though, she lapped it up.

RhubarbCrumble · 18-02-2019 12:32AM

Just catching up on this (and the UK version) tonight.
That Valerie one was incredibly rude. No need for that.

She was a pita. I thought that when I saw her, and now I see she’s a “food blogger” and on the Lidl ad, likes promoting herself

Of course.....majority of people on this are just looking to make a name for themselves. All bloggers or aspiring artists. Pure fake ****e.

She is, and is very well established in Irish foodie circles. She was an "expert guest" on the Irish Masterchef a few times too.

I've met her at a few blogger events and she's every bit as terrifying IRL as she was on the show.

I dont think she came across as terrifying but more of a complete arsehole who would be a nightmare to be around.

job seeker · 18-02-2019 10:41PM

I really enjoyed the episode last Thursday! That woman with the purple hair and tattoo's wow! I didn't heed that blogger woman! She seemed like alot too take and quite judge mental at times. The Craig fella with the dark hair and ear pairings I know through a friend/work college! :O

He responded to nearly every bad social media post about his last appearance saying it was all an act. So no doubt he'll do a perfect gentleman act on this appearance.

He has said that it's his last reality tv show.
And for the romantics of you, don't read on.

He's got a mot, and she's having his baby-any day now!

Is he still pretending to be a personal trainer?

Ah be the lord, that French woman is sexy.

Tattoos aren't usually my thing, but holy god I'd make an exception for her

That French one does nothing for me at all and I bet she's an arsehole
