First Dates Ireland *read first post*

Yeah seems to be back to normality so far and no over the top 'fame-hungry' people on it yet.

Yeah sure isn't filming usually around August/September so the Dub couple really didn't mess around and looks like he's found his wife which is what he wanted.

Looks like the two women were maybe too similar in the end and I think probably distance for the other couple as i thought both seemed well matched.

And the "There was no physical attraction" (if I recall correctly). Even if that is the root of many or most 'no's, there shoud never be a need to actually say that - 'no romantic…' covers everything.

The gay red haired guy was the image of Trevor Deely.

She must have rubbed him the wrong way near the end as his attitude appeared to come out of nowhere.

he looked a lot older than he said he was, came across as a pratt

Very enjoyable episode.

They absolutely edited something with the older couple the vibe just switched.

Rachel is gorgeous so no idea why she's not getting approached....Personality maybe but yet again they match a couple from opposite ends 🙄

The 2 younger couples matched well.

I never understand why a second date is ruled out when as far as we can see from the program they’ve had a good time, what’s the harm?

in case Rachel from Monaghan reads here she absolutely made the right decision. He was not at all a catch and gave me the willies tbh. Ex is his best friend and got the snip? No way girlie

Gas yer man didn't know mary Byrne. Then when she told him was fairly chilled about it.

The brother and sister are the most un -waterford like people I've ever seen. Where's the posh part of waterford?!

id say they went to boarding school in Dublin.

They value dental hygiene in their house. Fantastic set of teeth on both of them!

Yeah thought that was another good episode, really thought the double-date was going to be bad but actually ended up decent.

All seem like decent couples to me.

I thought Mary Byrne's date was lovely, an attractive man, a good listener. However I think she's is dining out (excuse pun) for a long time on the X Factor! Also she tends to overshare, sometimes less is more, less mad laughing, less talking about the past, past relationships etc. If a person in their mid sixties hasn't had lots of knocks, heartache and sadness then there's something wrong, its called life. Its not exceptional or unusual.

When it comes to expectations in your sixties it's not like you're rushing to get married, buy a house, have kids……….so there is less need for the "putting up walls" as Mary says she does. What's the point of going on a dating show as a mature dater in your sixties, if you're going to put up walls?

Anyway they were all lovely couples this week but it was a bit flat.

just watched it there Mary is a bit of crack and would be a mighty woman to have a have a few Beers with very honest she ventured onto the other side she is my type of women 😂😂

Would have loved for his answer to her “What do you drive?”, to have been “I’ve a horse outside…”
