People Couldn’t Cope With This Lad’s Cringey Flirting Skills On First Dates Ireland Last Night
"We're just two gorgeous brown-haired people."
The fourth episode of First Dates Ireland kicked off last night, with a spate of new daters hitting Dublin’s Gibson Hotel to try and find love.
First up were Katie and self-confessed “grinning moron” Ciarán, who seemed to hit it off.
Ah Ciaran is mad cute #FirstDatesIreland #FirstDates

Next into the restaurant though was “Wicklow bad boy” Brian, who claimed to know his stuff in the dating department.
Alarm bells rang when Brian told the cameras that would consider himself “a player,” adding “I would enjoy getting with one girl and then getting with another girl next week.”
Brian told us he had been “unfaithful” in other relationships, but said he was ready to change his ways.
Hmmm…
If Brian is a “player”, there is literally hope for everyone #firstdatesirl

Brian’s potential match for the night was Dubliner Sarah, who seemed well able to take his bad boy attitude, even when he mocked her arm tattoo, asking “what the hell is this?”
In the end, the pair agreed – after much deliberation and use of the word “sound” – that they were “both sound.”
Sarah and Brian… There are NO WORDS!!!!! #FirstDatesIreland #firstdatesirl #BothAsBigADoseAsEachOther

First rule of being sound- Don’t tell people you’re sound. #FirstDatesIRL

The people of Twitter didn’t take to Brian quite as much as Sarah did, especially when he described their date as “a celebration of love between two gorgeous brown-haired people.”
Ross O’Carroll-Kelly literally based all of his books on Brian after a 2 minute encounter on a night out #FirstdatesIRL

Brian seems like the kind of guy who would remind a girl she gave him a Super Like on Tinder #FirstDatesIRL

Brian is the worst distillation of Irish male culture. Stop trying to be charming. Stop negging this girl. Just stop. #FirstDatesIRL

Brian is the type of dude who points in photographs. #firstdatesirl

Things really kicked off when Brian tried to woo Sarah to the zoo the next day on a hunt for her favourite animal (“a pink flamingo”) – though she didn’t take the bait.
You should go to the zoo tomorrow…
Will you come with me

“…Brian & Sarah went on a 2nd date..to the zoo. Brian is due in court next week after attempting to steal a pink flamingo” #FirstDatesIRL

In the end though, Brian and Sarah agreed to a second date, but in the epilogue, we found out they had yet to meet again.
I wonder what Sarah and Brian thought of each other once they sobered up #firstdatesirl

So Sarah hasn’t met up with Brian since… Is it too mean to say I’m not surprised? #FirstDatesIRL

“Brian and Sarah cannibalised each other on their first date. Only their teeth were left” #FirstDatesIRL
