We've all been there – you both swiped right, flirty banter ensues and the playful gif exchanges continue until one of you finally works up the courage to ask the all important question – "how about a date then?"

Of course you answer (after the appropriate amount of time has passed, of course), "sure, when're you free?"

But wait.

What are you and this mystery date going to do? You barely know this person. Do you even like the same things?

The dialouge continues: 'So, what were thinking?', to which they reply, 'I don't mind, got any suggestions?', and the vicious cycle continues just long enough to ruin the potential romance before it even began.

Wouldn't it be great to find someone absolutely bursting with cute and fun first date ideas?

Enter Ben Velzian.

The single Londoner was arranging a first date recently, and when asked for suggestions, he sent on a pretty extensive PowerPoint presentation filled with some wonderful ideas.

However, for some unknown reason, the guy Ben was trying to win over didn't appreciate his stroke of genius and promptly blocked him on WhatsApp.

But, luckily for us, Ben saw the funny side of the situation and shared it on Twitter for our entertainment. 

You know what, Ben? They are splendid ideas, and we're not the only ones who think so. 

Y'know, we reckon we could all do with someone like Ben in our lives. 

Not only is he hilarious and charming, but let's face it, the boy's got mad PowerPoint skills.

Normally tasked with creating the headlines, Irish journalist, Kevin Myers, found himself the subject of a number this weekend after the public took grave exception to a column he wrote on the gender pay gap.

The column, which was subsequently dubbed 'anti-Semitic' and 'misogynistic', led the editor of the Irish version of The Sunday Times, Frank Fitzgibbon, to issue a statement apologising for the piece.

"As the editor of the Ireland edition, I take full responsibility for this error of judgement," he said. "This newspaper abhors anti-Semitism and did not intend to cause offence to Jewish people."

It has since been announced that Kevin Myers will no longer be writing for The Sunday Times, and Twitter has wasted no time voicing their opinion on the argument put forth by the controversial columnist.

We'll let them take it from here.

Nudes can be tricky business.

For the most part, intimate photographs are only meant to be seen by the person to which they were sent, and while this might seem like a given, there are still people out there who think it's okay to share these images in the hopes of destroying their ex-partners reputation.

Whether or not you choose to send such photographs is completely up to yourself, and no explanation as to why you won't should ever be needed – but in saying it, one Tinder user's genius reason still gave us a giggle.

Meet Emily.

A 23-year-old singleton whose hilarious Tinder bio has gathered over 2,000 like after it appeared on Twitter last Thursday.

Her bio reads: “On the topic of nude pics: I just want to remind everyone of a little movie called TITANIC.”

“A girl in 1912 has her naked body drawn in a sketchbook by a random dude that no one’s ever heard of, locks the drawing in a safe on a boat, the BOAT SINKS, and her nude pictures STILL ends up on television 84 years later. No one is safe.”

Needless to say, people were pretty impressed with Emily's analogy.

Speaking to Metro.co.uk, Emily admitted that the bio was inspired by a post she had seen a while ago, although she did say she added to it to make it more 'original'.

When asked whether she was really against sending nude photos, Emily said: “I’m all for loving your body and if you feel comfortable, you should flaunt it.”

“Nude pictures for sexual reasons never made sense to me, there’s not much you can do with a picture that you couldn't do with porn.”

However, while Emily stated that she would not personally feel comfortable sending nude photos, she insists that for those who do, it's all about trust.

“It’s really hard to judge who is a smart person to send a nude picture to,” she says.

“You never know who’s actually seeing it or if they are going to be sent around.”

“My advice would be honestly wait for the real thing, it’s safer as once you press that send button, there’s no taking it back.”

So, whether or not nudes are your thing, trust and respect are key when it comes to sharing anything in a relationship.

The hashtag #AskFiannaFáil is trending in Ireland right now, but probably not for the reasons they had hoped. 

TD and Spokesperson on Children and Youth Affairs Anne Rabbitte tweeted out to the public, telling them that Fianna Fail would answer their questions if they had any. 

And boy, did they have some.

From snarky suggestions about the state of the country, to genuine queries about love, life and the universe, we're thinking this hashtag is getting a little out of hand. 

Here are a few of our favourites:

We've all seen one or two electric scooters whizz around town; you might even own one.

But did you know you need a driver's licence and insurance for one?

According to the Gardaí's most recent tweet, you could face prosecution if you use one on a public road without all the legal bits and bobs.

An Garda Síochána tweeted this morning: "DMR Traffic Electric mechaically propelled scooter stopped on public road.

"No insurance/licence. Scooter seized and prosecution to follow (sic)."

However, many are commenting on the tweet, saying it's a bit harsh:

What do you think? Did they take it too far or is it just the rules of the road?

Chrissy Teigen, AKA the undisputed Queen of Twitter, has never been shy about voicing her opinion and now, after years of trolling, Donald Trump has finally blocked her on Twitter.

On Sunday, Trump took to to the micro-blogging site to criticise Republicans that “do very little to protect their President”, to which Chrissy replied: “Lollllll no one likes you.”

A little childish? Perhaps.

A hilarious response? Most definitely.

Following the exchange, Chrissy confirmed that she had in fact been blocked “after 9 years of hating Donald J Trump.”

In February, the model, who campaigned for Hillary Clinton, told  USA Today that she'd been trolling the POTUS for "five to seven years."

"I've been doing this forever, and I take pride in that."

This is not the first time Trump has blocked someone on Twitter.

In fact, Chrissy now joins the likes of author, Stephen King and American comedian, Rosie O'Donnell among many others.

We all know a sick individual who likes their tea as white and milky as the Irish complexion, along with a mad b****** who doesn't take milk in their tea at all.

As a land of tea drinkers, there is a wide array of preferences when it comes to assessing what makes the perfect cuppa. 

From great debates over the right amount of sugar and whether a saucer is necessary, tea can divide a nation.

One thing that really gets people riled up is the correct colour of tea. 

This delicate decision, whether you want it the colour of a nicely varnished floor or the shade of a Digestive biscuit, is all down to the amount of milk used.

Twitter user @Yorkshireprobs uploaded a key chart to identify the most popular tea shade.

Personally, 2C looks about right, but the comments section is wild with disagreement.

Some have even admitted to enjoying 4D, which, as was pointed out in responses, must be like drinking a cup of tepid milk. 

Others have suggested printing out the chart to hand in offices worldwide, so that the tea debate can rage on while also educating the masses about one anothers tea choices. 

Now we're gasping for a cuppa…

Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau has made the cover of Rolling Stone and the whole world is swooning – well, most of us. 

Appearing on the front cover of the magazine's August issue, Justin is pictured looking seductively into the camera, next to the words –  'Why can't he be our president?'

Inside the pages, a glowing profile, written by Stephen Rodrick, proves that no one is safe from the Trudeau spell.

The writer starts by calling Trudeau “a progressive, rational, forward-thinking leader” who “overcame tragedy to become Canada’s prime minister”, such as the death of his younger brother, and father, former Prime Minster, Pierre Trudeau.

Roderick then began to make comparisons between Trudeau and Donald Trump's stances on issues such as abortion, climate change and Russia.

“Trump's son met with Russian nationals who promised dirt on Hillary Clinton. Trudeau's foreign minister is Chrystia Freeland, a Canadian of Ukrainian descent who is banned in Putin's Russia,” he writes.

“Justin Trudeau is trying to Make Canada Great Again. He is using, let us say, different methods.”

However, Justin did say that he and Trump have “a constructive working relationship” even though they disagree “on a whole bunch”.

He added that he would not go out of his way to "insult the guy or overreact or jump at everything he says (that) we might disagree with is not having a constructive relationship."

The traditionally music-focused magazine is no stranger to political features and has had a number of politicians on its front cover over the years, but few have sent the internet into a frenzy quite like Justin. 

However, not everyone was happy with Trudeau's cover.

Some US Twitter users made it clear they would not want Trudeau as their president.

We're nearing the end of the month which means the vast majority of us are currently living off beans, pasta and half-price fruit.

And that, ladies, is because we did what we do every other month, and blew our salary on non-essentials leaving us incapable of procuring actual essentials for the rest of the month.

So, the cycle continues; you know how it is.

Thankfully, our good friends out there in the Twitosphere are just like us, and know all too well the agony of the final week of the month.

Behold your friends, ladies.

1. We hear you, girl.

2. You heard her.

 3. Praise Jesus.

 4. Hell, yeah.

5. Do not donate, he has more than us.

6. Ah yes, the porridge bowl diet.

7. It's certainly something to consider.

8. We don't need that negativity in our lives.

9. You could have gotten 4 Taz bars back in the day.

10. Life is cruel.

11. Whatever helps, dude.

We love our fathers with all our hearts, but there's no denying that when it come to the minutiae of our daily lives, they're generally not as clued in as our mothers.

And while they may not always have their finger on the pulse, we would assume they would be able to pick us out of a line-up.

Unfortunately for Georgia Wilde, it took her recent graduation day to realise that when it comes to the crunch, her dad may not be as reliable on that front as she might have hoped.

Taking to Twitter with a recording, the film graduate told friends and followers: "My dad legit filmed the wrong girl going down the isle at my graduation sums up my Dad." (sic)

Unsurprisingly, the post soon went viral, with thousands of social media users seeing their own fathers in Georgia's.

"At least your Dad knows how to use a camera. My father tried to film me with his phone which turned out to be the tv remote!" wrote one.

"No word of a lie, when it was my cousins wedding 5 years ago, my grandad went up to the wrong bride getting out the car," added another.

Anyone else seeing the irony in Georgia's choice of degree?!

For anyone who may not have gotten the memo, Bono and the lads are taking to the stage in Croke Park tonight.

With some tickets going for as much as €11,000 online, there's no denying that when it come to Ireland's most famous exports, people would bend over backwards to see themselves reflected in Bono's shades.

And with just hours to go until the world-famous foursome take to the stage, Twitter is absolutely hopping, but the thing is, because it's Ireland and it's U2, it's quite a mixed bag.

From elation to pure scorn, Twitter isn't holding back on this one.

1. There was this.

2. But then there was this.

 3. But at least this guy is happy.

4. Unlike these guys.

5. Thankfully, Bono and the lads have this gal on side.

6. But not this guy.

7. Unlike this guy…

8. Ouch.
