Let's face there's no shortage of truly cringe-worthy things that can happen on a first date.....forgetting the name of the person in front of you, getting spinach stuck in your teeth or having your card declined.
Yes, tonight on the latest episode of First Dates Ireland, hipster-boy Ronan decides to be the perfect gentleman and pay for dinner for himself and his date Tanya only for him to hear those dreaded words - DECLINED!
Noooooo..... etc.
In fairness he had joked about the possibility of the card being declined as he handed it over to Maître 'D, Mateo.
However his embarrassed expression afterwards proves that maybe you shouldn't tempt fate in these situations! (Though let's face it we've all been there on "the day before payday"!).

His date gamely offers to split the bill but luckily Ronan has a second card.
After an excruciating wait - "the longest five seconds of my life" - his card goes through and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief.
The see the date in full tune into First Dates Ireland on RTÉ2 at 9.30pm tonight.
