I'm convinced that most participants lie about their age, both on the Irish and UK versions. Was watching a UK episode on E4 the other night and two daters who claimed to be around 35 looked at least 50.

Its just very common for british and irish people to look significantly older than their age tbh

Here's hoping they'll show the lovely Gemma again...

Don't know if there's a separate thread for the UK show? Did a quick search & couldn't find anything.
The ex-husband/wife thing..talk about awkward for their dates! How did they think that was in any way a good idea?

It was so stupid and awkward in every way. Terrible idea.

Why no dater updates too?! That better be back next week, shocking omission!

At least they stopped the "I'll pay, no let's split it, no I'm a gentleman, you paid but I don't want a second date" section.

I caught up with the Irish and UK First dates last night.


Just wondering... in the case of a male/female date - has the female ever paid for the dinner on either shows?

In the UK one, there was a guy who forgot his card and the girl paid and he promised to transfer his half into her account. It was made even more awkward when he said that he didn't want to see her again.

I was hoping they'd do an update on whether any of the couples are still together. I remember the night the lesbian couple were on and after the show it said that they'd be on 3 or 4 more dates. Wonder if they're still together?

The lady who confessed to farting after eating chillies and her bearded date were a nice couple too.

The girl that farted and bearded man didnt work out. She was in the local newspaper, cant remember if they went for a second date or not....l was very shocked they seemed almost smitten.

Nah. I thought she was there to promote herself. Most are tbh.

I was very surprised that they both said they'd see eachother again, tbh. She wanted kids and he's had a vasectomy. They'd have just been wasting eachother's time, really.

I actually believe she was going to say ''no'' but agreed to another date to spare his feelings

Anyone watching the UK one tonight or is there a separate thread for that?

yourdeadwright

I was at a charity table quiz last night in Dublin City centre and there was an aul fella sitting across from me , I was sure I knew him from some aspect of life and had meet him before you know that feeling you get, 
Then it dawned on me, It was the really lovely man from first dates, The guy from Sheriff street who's wife had died a few years ago, He was proper gentleman on the show, Almost wanted to ask him if he was still seeing the women but obviously left him enjoy the night,

i found that a bit odd but fair play to him for not running straight out the door. Its what i would have done.

RhubarbCrumble

The army guy seemed really lovely. Curious to see if they stayed together too. It said something at the end about she had a son and army guy (can't remember his name ) "is looking forward to meeting him", so doesn't sound as though they're actually together.

Id say it wasn’t so much the baby but the fact she seemed bi ? Her last relationship was with a woman .......confusing for a guy who is looking for a lasting relationship and kids .

Still Ill

The guy with the latex allergy was an absolute oddball.

A man is usually more accepting to start a relationship with a woman who is bi than a woman would be of a man who is bi.

Unless there is another thread I have not spotted

What’s the story with your man aidens shirt.

castletownman

The oysters will still have more brain cells than that fella

Mr.Crinklewood

I know people he could eat.

KevRossi

Both women so far seem nice, tattoos don't suit the blonde lady IMO.
Black lad seems nice.
Tralee fella comes across as a bit of a wally who tries too hard.

They usually have a couple of headbangers on the first programme, don't they?

Sorry , but that vegan fella is a pain in the **** .

Gabby is far too gobby.

He's a fool but couldn't blame him for concluding it wasn't going anywhere, she even said to her mate on the phone she didn't get a spark

Mad_maxx

Both nice people but he is a little immature for her

Who knows, but I think his ego wouldnt let her say no and thats why he said no thinking she was just gonna reject him

The look on his face when she said yes was priceless

Everything she said earlier contradicted her surprise reveal at the end, she claimed earlier to display her feelings towards someone in her facial expressions, she grimaced through the date

dee_mc

These two seem nice, genuine and well-suited.

retro:electro

Aww these two are nice together

Mam of 4

I like these two , the young couple , open , seem genuine .
