Ah I thought the first couple daria and Manchester dude were a really good match, shame it didn't work out.

Alan is pretty dishy for a 71 yo.

Alan has that SE England Nicholas Parson's look about him.

Was that not Ray Silks? He looks familiar though.

Alan is the most attractive 70 + man I've ever seen.

That was some beautiful editing for the trailer for next week's programme.

Down lady is lovely looking to be fair.

Goofy date though

She really doesn't look 48.

With the exception of Dania and Kris, another episode where attractive and normal women are paired with ugly, weird men.

Nope. That was Ray Silke.

Lads when is this repeated?

I'm only watching it now on the RTE Player, so I spoke too soon. He's very suave, to be fair.

He reminds me of a TV American dr/ surgeon

I'm just going to nip to the bathroom and we'll sort out the bill when I get back = I'm a tight asre and expect this bill to be paid when I get back, just before I turn you down.

PhilOssophy

Alan has had 2 previous marriages, I'm not convinced he's as lovely as the show made him out to be!

Haha yeah that was cheeky of her, she knew exactly what was going to happen. Bad form particularly when she was already saying no.

Apart from it being a shítty thing to do, is she forgetting that it's being recorded and will be shown on tv? All to save a bit of money.

Dublin girl with the Manchester guy is seriously fit.

I just realised who she reminded me of, Deborah Ann Woll from True Blood:

The English guy (handsome!) and the girl with blond hair seemed like a lovely match.

Jeepers thats a good looking older couple!
A career awaits in saga adverts!

People get divorced for lots of reasons

Indeed, unless PhilOssophy knows him personally then he hasn't a clue about the circumstances of why his previous marriages broke down.

Christ who in their right mind would ghost that Dania??? She's phenomenal!!! :eek:

That Sligo girl on the wheelchair is very pretty too.

She seemed far too content to chat away about herself and didn’t ask him too many questions.

yes, but in that girls defence, id say she is battling many personal demons since her accident. Such a nice unassuming guy though. Hope he's inundated with offers after the show.

Fair point. I think her motivation for the date was merely to try get her confidence back after a tough personal battle. She may have realised during the date that she wasnt ready for anything serious. That said though, she may well look back at that as a missed opportunity. The guy was so accepting of her situation. She may experience that to be rare

Could've been just the way they edited it. Her story is more interesting to the viewer than his in all probability.

Couldn’t disagree more with this. You’re basically making a case for her having to settle because she’s got a disability. Trying to force attraction is a proven recipe for disaster and it usually ends in someone (usually the person not forcing attraction) getting hurt. He’s a sound lad and is much better off with someone mad about him, just as she is lovely and much better off with someone she’s mad about.

Didn't come across that way to me at all. She came across as a very nice person, as did her date. Obviously, given her situation they, were always going to give her background story more attention.

i was really rooting for him, dont know why, something very likeable about him

You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

Why do I feel like I seen this and her before?

I think this date was the trailer for this week's episode.

Mad_maxx

Is this a repeat?

AMKC

I like the Cork one's nails. I think I have the second ting she has to do with writing.

I find if you have to repeatedly say you are quirky, you aren't doing it correctly.
