Eek! This moment on First Dates last night was pretty awkward
First Dates has become an Irish institution, and between the Twitter banter and the actual show, we're officially hooked.
Last night's dine and date episode featured a couple we were seriously rooting for, especially after an initially awkward encounter.
Aidan and Lucy looked like a very cute couple, but when Aidan tried to use humour to break the ice, his clever golf joke went way over Lucy's head.
Turns out, Aidan is actually funny after all. Takes rejection like a pro! #FirstDatesIRL

While chatting about transportation, the topic of driving came up, and Aidan joked that the only thing he can drive is a golf ball (lots of golf fans on First Dates lately, no?).
Unfortunately, Lucy is not about that golfing life, and it took her a few awkward seconds to get the pun.
While it was definitely a cringe moment, we thought it might work out for the two.
Fair play to Aidan asking the question on ever nice guys mind You were really nice!
So what were you looking for an Asshole? #FirstDatesIRL pic.twitter.com/fgKeDaLuH1— Niall Fitzmaurice (@nfitzm) February 16, 2017
Spoiler alert, it didn't.
When the two were asked if they wanted to see one another again, Lucy rejected Aidan on the basis of his niceness, and his comeback was pretty priceless.
"So what you're looking for is an a**hole?"
Yikes! At least he didn't bring up the topic of women making sandwiches….
