On Thursday night at 9.30pm on RTÉ2, singletons from Tipperary, Waterford, Offaly, Cork, Dublin and Galway will be making their way into the First Dates restaurant all hoping to find their forever love.
 
On hand, as always, with kind words of encouragement, shoulders to cry on and insightful observations on love and life are table angels Alice and Pete, Neil, the world’s friendliest barman and Maître D’ Mateo Saina.
 
In this episode, in search of his very own lucky number, clairvoyant numerologist Stan from Waterford – the restaurant’s oldest ever dater – celebrates his 86th birthday with 80-year-old returning dater Lorraine from Offaly.
Cautious singleton Laura from Tipperary plunges headlong into the deep with surfer and lifeguard Stephen from Cork.
Will accounts clerk and singalong aficionado Katrina from Tallaght find the ‘messer’ of her dreams with a musician from Knocklyon called Fingerz? That’s ‘Fingerz’. With a ‘Z’.
And finally, hoping for someone to ‘light up the room’, postgrad student Dearbhla from Galway enjoys a full-on fireworks extravaganza with the flamboyant supernova that is Ellis from Dublin.
