Everyone adores First Dates as much as you. Here's why...

It’s better than being on one yourself.

First Dates is Channel 4′s latest reality venture which involves watching three or four couples as they go on their first dates together in the first date restaurant. The show kicked off its second series a few weeks ago and Ireland is obsessed.

#firstdates is now trending in #Dublin http://t.co/RrBA6lz14f

#FirstDates Wanting him to have a Rolex was a bit ambitious considering she's got a mobile with a cracked screen
