‘Fussy heifers’ Last night’s First Dates saw true love blossom
Usually, First Dates has us cringing behind our couch cushions as a series of Irish pairs try to find love on national television, but last night, something was a little different.
Last night the show set up the ultimate culchie power couple, Lisa and Jamie, and the sparks absolutely flew.
Lisa from Waterford, a self-proclaimed flirt, was hoping to find the love of her life, and we kind of thought she might have found him in Jamie.
"Do you milk?" I'm already rooting for there two. #FirstDatesIreland

The pair instantly hit it off, and got chatting about all things farming.
When Jamie revealed he had more than one bull on his farm, Lisa concluded that he must deal with "fussy heifers" like herself on the regular.
We were seriously rooting for these two, so when things didn't quite work out, we were less than pleased.
In stitches after #FirstDatesIRL and now my jaw hurts from looking at all of the twitter comments. I absolutely love this show

John and Deborah were the second couple on the night, and not everyone was impressed with John's attitude.
From his aversion to public transport and his slightly unenthusiastic reaction to Deborah's maternal status, some Twitter users thought that he needed a reality check.
She has a kid!? John will be outta there like a dort! #FirstDatesIRL pic.twitter.com/rXt4ovAMVv

Another couple got a bit deep and philosophical on their date, as a hilarious mix up ensued when Ciarán tried to pronounce the word but simply couldn't.
Luckily his date was on hand to help him out, although some Twitter users thought that they looked more like father an son than boyfriend and boyfriend.
Everyone is Ireland is now shouting out the word, "philosophical" #FirstDatesIRL

Sligo doorman Luke and Supermacs fan Lauren got on like a house on fire at the start, but things quickly fell apart after paying the bill.
Lauren was less than impressed when Luke asked to split the bill, as she firmly believes that "the fella" should always pay.
Him: Let's split the bill
Her Thoughts: Haha, you're dead to me Hun.#FirstdatesIRL pic.twitter.com/G6mJvucl9u— Ziz O'Beirne (@Zizzyob) March 2, 2017
Oh, and he also forgot her name, leaving him with a 0 per cent chance of obtaining a second date.
So there was some awkwardness after all.
