#firstdates

I don't want to hate on #FirstDates because some of the dating stories are genuinely lovely, but the incessant need to try to one-up the shock levels each series is wearing thin. A first date between two women where one announces she's married and her husband's at the bar waiting to join in is just really putting the other woman in a horrible spot unless it's all been arranged before. And if it has then it's shock for shock's sake.

I didn't expect that! 📞

Just got a call from a researcher for #firstdates UK asking if I would be interested in being part of the new series.

Of course I laughed and said they are over 3 years too late... 😂

My TV dating experience is very much done and is covered in my self published book coming this year 🤞

Sometimes you think to yourself "Why can't this person get a date?" on #FirstDates but then you also get times like tonight where there are a whole lot of people you're thinking "Oh yeah, I can definitely see this person spending most of their life alone."

Watching #FirstDates and there's a bloke on who's seven years younger than me but looks about five years older, even if I say so myself. A few seconds later he mentions that he's got a couple of kids. That certainly may provide an explanation.
