First Dates Ireland *read first post*

I don't understand this notion that the producers shouldn't be involved. They're literally involved in everything.

It's not like what he said was 'in confidence'. People are going on like it was priest revealing all from a church confession.

If you were a dater on the show, you'd appreciate being told if the person you're about to commit extra time to and likely pursue, had moments before said he had absolutely no interest in you. This nonsense that "they shouldn't have shown it" is just that; nonsense.

Aaron with those dodgy teeth..are they dentures or what? And that accent. I am not sure I would trust him as a peacekeeper..."its school with guns" yeah stick to being a soldier if that snippet not music is anything to go by. The girl from Waterford was really pretty, seemed pretty driven. Surprised he didn't fancy a second date...she was right with the Fboy thing..dickhead move making her go first.

Margaret seemed sound. But Jesus the top ...boobs a gogo...i am not prude but jaysus.. I suppose you might as well show them off if you paid for them. Need to ease off the fake tan. That is some weight loss fair play. Shane from Fermanagh didn't lack confidence anyway. Charmer. Cute. Messer in a good way. Both nice people I thought. Nice they saw each other again.

Brenda looked insane for 73 lovely bubbly personality...psychic medium...nonsense...Her toy boy Gerry...initially I thought why did they pair these two...but they had a lot in common. She had not a notion of a romance with him.

Chocolate milk guy...it is nice in fairness, not sure you would get it in most pups though. Miriam was bubbly and good fun. Definite chemistry both fun glad they went on another date.

From a ratings point of view last night was a success but honestly I found it a little uncomfortable. Especially reading some comments on Twitter.

I wouldn’t have copped it until you said it. Hughie posted on Instagram that he is returning for another date…wondering if it’s with him?

I didn’t think the date went particularly well. It did look like he thought she was going to say no and didn’t want to lose face. He should have said it first.

Does anyone remember the vegan guy who said no because he thought his date wasn’t interested. The look of shock when she said he would….the funniest line ever was when he said ‘Jesus she must have been on some 5hit dates’ https://youtu.be/Aa9FLrD6Abk

Hughie had a date with a Scottish hair dresser. Hughie was lovely, funny and friendly but his date came across pretty harsh. But from what I remember he apologised after.

From what I remember about the guy coming back for a third date..the first time he said no…second time date appeared to go well but his match said no spark.

I remember when first dates started in the U.K. the concept was daters returned time after time. Never seen anyone come back for a third time here.

I think people are being harsh on the army guy. A lot of lads are foolish and naive at that age but thankfully (for myself anyway), it was before the proliferation of social media. We grow out of it at different times, he clearly has a few years maturing left and a lot to learn about life. Don't think he's a bad person though. His date was stunning and came out looking the better person so he didn't harm anyone, bar himself. They were both fairly drunk at the end by the looks of it too.

For the last two weeks when the guys went to the toilet (the Young dj and last nights rapper) their dates checked them out on Instagram. Was wondering how they knew their username. Be so cringe if someone told me to check them out on Instagram during a date.

I regularly go to my mates open mic night in our local and every week there are new outstanding musicians. Before it’s their slot sometimes chat away if they are on my table. I can’t remember once them mentioning insta etc…now I wonder do they think someone in their early 40s won’t know what it is.

But even stranger on the show where it’s so short (1.5 hours) to chat away, bring up about insta, tell them to take out their phone to type username in and tell them to look at it while they are in the toilet…I’d crack up laughing (history of that) and say battery is fcucked.

Personally I've zero interest in seeing that lad coming back for a third date, from what I remember he was a charisma vacuum.

Ya probably agree with you, confident lad and of course people will say he was too confident and cocky. We only got to see a glimpse of him anyway, she is very pretty and was not expecting to be turned down.

Which would have been worse…do what he did or as you say ‘play it cool as she was up for the r1de’. I don’t think it came across at all like that in any case.

Never heard the phrase blonde Hunzo from Santry before but it looked like they did click and she liked him.

That tictac teeth army eejit was just on it for social media views. He was on the "talking bollox" podcast before, I knew before the episode started that he was going to be exactly the man (boy?) That he portrayed himself to be.

I'm willing to bet that his mode of transport to and from the restaurant was via electric scooter.

I got the impression she was impressed at his follower count on whatever social media thing she checked when he was in the jacks. She seemed incredibly unimpressed with him before that, but perked up visibly after. Maybe it was just how it was pieced together by the production team.

Whatever about how much of a tosser he was, I really don't get people that young with dentures or whatever they are. Is it that they have really bad teeth to start with or just a fashion thing?

I'd understand it if they had serious problems with their teeth in the first place (I think there was a taxi driver on First Dates Ireland previously and he got his teeth done) but these are young people getting them. Veneers, I think they're called. The process involved (filing down your original teeth and getting ceramic implants) just doesn't make sense to me: looks completely fake and stands out a mile.
