First Dates Ireland featured one of the most awkward endings to a date ever

Rory Cashin

“Will you see each other again?” “…..”

First Dates might not be being aired in the UK at the moment, but it has returned to TV on the other side of the Irish sea.

On Thursday night, First Dates Ireland saw Aidan from Tralee and Siobhan from Youghal meet each other for the first time, and from watching the date, it seemed like it was clear to Aidan that Siobhan had absolutely no interest in him.

She had a near physical reaction to him using the word “bird” to describe her, on top of him also telling the waiter that it must take her “three hours” to get ready.

But then they were asked if they would ever meet each other again, and things went from “Yikes, this is awkward” to “I’m jumping out the window to escape this coffin of awkwardness!” in a way viewers couldn’t have expected.

So… listen, love didn’t find them this time.

But we can safely say they’ve probably both learned some lessons from this first date.

Aidan learned that ladies might be into him despite it making absolutely no sense whatsoever.

And Siobhan learned that she probably shouldn’t date Aidan.
