Even more awkward! First Dates Ireland to return WITH social distancing
A post shared by RTÉ2 (@rte2) on Jun 30, 2020 at 12:01pm PDTIt’s hard to envision how this it’s going to be possible to get a ‘cosy date’ vibe going when people are sitting two metres apart.Though if you were paired with someone like last season’s Barry John who ‘completed Tinder twice’ you might be glad of some PPE while you’re at it.And with the echo of a half empty room amplifying those raunchy ‘have you ever…’ questions, Mateo will just have to turn up the music, or other daters will be too busy listening in for the answer.The awkwardness of the daters makes the show a cringe-worthy watch at the best of times, but that is 100 per cent its charm.
