WHAT IS IT about the viewing public and the suggestion of romance among the older generation?

We mean, if First Dates focussed solely on the over-50s, we’d be in raptures every week.

Thankfully, last night’s episode didn’t disappoint on this front.

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Meet Dubliners, Pat and Maureen, who have been melting hearts all over the country since last night.

After a very successful dinner date, they even had a behind-the-scenes dance.

Can’t get enough of Pat and Maureen from tonight’s #FirstDatesIRL?

And yet they haven’t met up for a second date despite both agreeing another one was on the agenda.

It’s a match for these two true blues! 💕

Bewildered viewers are now wondering where it all went wrong.

We mean, they sang, they danced and they had most of us holding out for a First Dates wedding.

Am I the only one that's devastated that Pat and Maureen havent met up 🤷🏻#FirstDatesIRL #patandmaureen #firstdatesireland pic.twitter.com/ZooEemHdyd

Pat and Maureen better get married at the end of the show because the country is emotionally invested and I am worried about what will happen if they don't work out #FirstDatesIRL
