So many cringeworthy moments.
First Dates Ireland was as entertaining as ever last night.
First Dates Ireland is just a few minutes away on @RTE2. As usually, for chats and banter use hashtag #FirstDatesIRL pic.twitter.com/XGWpXmMvi2

We met several pairs, the majority of whom, sadly, didn’t end up together.
Here’s what everyone was talking about after watching the show last night.
There was a man trying his hardest to be a good feminist (which only made it worse).
When George’s date told him she was a feminist, he said he was too. This was all well and good until he made a comment about women making sandwiches in the deli. Things got awkward fast.

That face you make when he tells you women make sandwiches and you're studying feminism #FirstDatesIRL pic.twitter.com/DH4LAIauB6

There was an uncomfortable vegan situation.
Kari, a vegan, went on a date with Camille. Camille explained that she liked almond milk and vegan shower gel but that she still ate meat.
Vegan man's face when she said she ate meat. Did she say "human meat" & I missed it? #FirstDatesIRL

People were not impressed with how Kari asked Camille to pay for her half. It wasn’t even the fact that he didn’t offer to pay, it was more the way he went about it.

First he judges her because she's not vegan then he asks her to pay him cash so he can pay card for the dinner 😳😭 #firstdatesirl

And among several couples, there were issues in geography knowledge.
Camille thought that the Republic of Ireland was ‘the little bit at the top’ of Ireland, while Kerry was sure her date was a Corkman even though he was from Longford.
What is with the complete ignorance for geography on #FirstDatesIRL absolutely shocking!

gas a #longford lad on #FirstDatesIRL and his date asks him are you from #cork – know how that feels!

Longford = Cork, Castleknock in Blanch, "Where's Louth on the map?" Good thing #FirstDatesIrl has chemistry, cause it'd be failing geography

So, between feminism, veganism and paying the bill, it made for a very uncomfortable situation for all.
Awkward viewing 😬😬#FirstDatesIRL
