Everyone Wanted To Be Amy’s BFF After Watching First Dates Ireland Last Night

The first episode of First Dates Ireland aired on RTÉ 2 last night, and it didn’t disappoint.

There were some happy endings, like with (potential identical twins) Simon and Tynan who hit it off and even ended up going on a second date.

But as with the real world of dating, not every story had a happy ending.

We were really rooting for Amy and Darryl, after seeing them having the absolute LOLs during their date at the Gibson Hotel.

I’ve a very good feeling about Amy and Darryl! Yaaaaas. #FirstDatesIRL

Amy didn’t even seem bothered by Darryl’s penchant for peach Schnapps…

Or when he removed his front tooth as a ‘funny’ joke…

HE TOOK OUT HIS TOOTH FUCKING RUN AMY RUN #FirstDatesIRL #FirstDatesIreland

Did he just take his front tooth out????? #FirstDatesIRL

Surely these two were made for each other?

Can I do the First Reading at Amy and Darryl’s wedding #FirstDatesIRL

But when it came to crunch time, things fell apart in a big way.

After a couple of seconds of joking around, Darryl jumped in to say he thought Amy was just ‘friend’ material. Cue Amy’s heart breaking, and ours, and everyone’s in Ireland basically.

THIS moment, will we ever recover. #FirstDatesIrlhttps://t.co/rk0I7nYFF9

What happened to Amy on #FirstDatesIRL sums up what it’s like dating as a woman in Ireland.

Amy’s face, oh my god. The poor gal. #FirstDatesIRL

But, on the flip side, Amy won’t be stuck for future potential dates because everyone fell in love with her.

You toothless clown!! AMY I’LL MARRY YOU IMMEDIATELY 🙁 #FirstDatesIRL

No, like seriously.

One of my Watsapp groups is now called “Justice for Amy”. She was far too sweet for him anyway. #FirstDatesIRL

I’ll take that second date with Amy if Darryl doesn’t want it #FirstDatesIRL pic.twitter.com/XMy8YHwECf

Can she be our BFF?

Never change, Amy.
