CRINGE!
First Dates Ireland may not be on at the moment but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the UK version.
And it seems they can be equally as entertaining and cringe-worthy.
Last night saw singletons Maisie and Justin go on a date. Justin described himself as the ‘Wolf of Worthing’ while Maisie recalled how a previous boyfriend vanished off the face of the earth and got his friend to do the breaking up for him.
In an attempt to impress Maisie, Justin tried to make a sex joke but instead left everyone cringing.
It all happened because Maisie asked if he had ever been horse riding and he replied saying, “Yeah, but not that kind of riding…’
When your joke falls flat. ??? #FirstDates pic.twitter.com/cOrpAnktpR

“Not that kind of riding…… crude joke…”
And I thought the new episode of The Walking Dead was uncomfortable viewing. #FirstDates
