THE BOOKSHELF COFFEE shop in Cork tried their best.

The cafe attempted to accommodate a Tinder date for a ‘friend’ on the condition they could liveblog the whole thing.

They went above and beyond with the decor

Both were late at first, making us wonder if it would even happen at all

The cruel, harsh word of dating.
