Semi-awkward conversation has never felt this good. But inside, you’re all like:

1. “Have we… met before?”

Through the course of the evening, you will discover that you have about 12 mutual friends. You think you might have met each other on a night out years back – but to bring it up would be weird.

2. “Actually, we might have shifted a few years back”

Ireland is small, so this is always a possibility.

3. “Their Facebook profile is definitely different from real life”

Of course you checked them out online before the date – and that profiler is generous.

4. “My life story is actually really boring when said out loud”

5. “I really shouldn’t have told that alcohol-themed anecdote”

You panicked and your go-to anecdote happened to be about debauchery. Great.

6. “They are definitely judging my clothes right now”

It’s nearing the end of the date and you’ve lost your senses. You haven’t a breeze if a shift will happen.

11. “I definitely could have done better”

Still, potential second date, right?
