“It would have been like having sex with myself.”
If you haven’t been watching First Dates Ireland on RTÉ, where have you been on Thursday nights?
Each episode has been full of eventful pairs, cringeworthy moments, the odd emotional exchange and a handful of succesful matches, all getting a lot of people talking along the way.
Well, a number of the daters who remain single appeared on The Late Late Show on Friday to have a panel-type discussion with Tubs about Irish dating life in general.
There was 74-year-old charmer, Tony, one of the most popular date duo so far in the shape of Simon and Tynan and, of course, Sunita; who had struck up a bond with the Canadian barman himself.
There was also a massive Game of Thrones spoiler revealed, much to the chagrin of a few folk.
Needless to say, they were the talk of Twitter…

Tony's not into kinder. Also did he just use a your momma joke? #latelate #myhero

It wasn’t for everyone, though…

#latelate If those "men" lost the hipster beards and man buns they might have some chance.

They should actually match an 18 and 80-year-old. Harold and Maude style. #FirstDatesIRL #LateLateShow #LateLate
