WHEN THERE’S A pair of older daters on First Dates, it almost feels like a completely different show.
With so many (literal) teenagers on the show in the last few weeks, as well as people in their mid-twenties who seem like they only want go on the show for pre drinks before they head to Coppers, it’s nice to see some people seriously looking for love.
Despite Angie’s big smile, viewers learned that she had been through a lot over the course of her life. She came on the show looking for a relationship after 10 years of being single. Angie told First Dates that she was finally ready to meet somebody after the death of her husband 10 years ago.
I’d love to fall in love again. Make someone happy, and someone to make me happy.
It wasn’t just Angie’s relationship history that had viewers emotional, either.

Angie made the incredibly brave decision to speak out about her childhood. She shared the story of how her mother was raped when she was 16, became pregnant and ended up in a Magdalene laundry for fifteen years. Angie was taken away and sent to an industrial school.
She had told First Dates she was looking for an older man. They matched her up with a retired truck driver from Drimnagh. His name was Denis, but everybody called him Dinny (after the character from Glenroe).

And boy, were we all rooting for her.
