First Dates Ireland was on RTÉ 2 last night and as usual it was quality viewing.

A number of couples caught people's attention and got the Twitter mills spinning

First there was Kari and Camille, who seemed to be getting on well...

Although there was a very awkward moment when Kari asked Camille to hand over cash for her half of the meal...

Suppose we will split the bill! Your man taking the money back from your one because he was paying by card 😂 #Stingey #Mannee #FirstdatesIRL

That Icelandic chap was a god awful arsehole, taking the cash off her and paying by card #firstdatesirl

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 a bit of awkwardness about being vegan..

Then there was the exuberant George who unfortunately kept putting his foot in it, more than once, in the eyes of the Twitterati audience at least.

Irish parents have a way with words. 😂 #FirstDatesIRL continues tonight at 9:30pm on @RTE2 pic.twitter.com/URg4WbA2SM

But that didn't stop him getting a second date and a third...

Genuinely surprised that feminist girl and farmer lad went past the first date #FirstDatesIRL

#FirstDatesIRL George!! You are next level. At least 3 dates when it started the way it did. I tip my hat to you.
Hopefully still together

Although it doesn't seemed to have bothered him much!

But unfortunately it didn't work out for the star couple...

Omg the fact that Ian and Gary didn't work out actually physically hurts. Maybe I'm too invested #firstdatesirl
