We’ve all been there! This First Dates moment was HILARIOUS

Okay, so First Dates is always a tad awkward, which is no surprise seeing as it involves Irish people trying to be cool on national television while their love lives hang in the balance.

Last night, we saw Eoin meet Katie for the first time, and he was definitely a little nervous.

Before arriving at the First Dates restaurant, Eoin had a little run in with an avian nemesis, causing him to be late for the date.

Ah – the aul "a bird shat on me" excuse …#FirstDatesIreland

Eoin didn't hold back when reliving the tale, telling Katie that a bird had "shat" on him.

Probably not the best icebreaker but hey, at least he's honest.

And isn't that meant to be good luck?

The size of the lady balls on that Katie on #FirstDatesIreland admitting her problems on national TV. Actually inspirational. #girlpower

Katie also seriously impressed us with her open discussion about her depression. 

Kudos Katie, kudos!

I have high hopes for Katie & the bird shitting victim #FirstDatesIRL
