Shy Guy Seeks Love, Meets Champion Irish Dancer! | First Dates Ireland

When I was in school I was very shy. I don't think I talked to a girl properly until halfway through secondary school. Hi. Welcome. What's your name? Kiran. Then I went to college. I was forcing myself to talk to girls more and to be more outgoing. And then I started to realise there's nothing wrong with being a shy guy. You just have to be honest, you have to put your best foot forward. Here I am. I'm still not afraid to talk to people anymore. I wasn't that afraid before but it was just with girls in particular. Kiran bro, you look smooth man. Thank you very much. It's not about me now, it's about you. Please, don't put more pressure on me. Whatever you need, we're here. Thank you very much. One previous girlfriend for eight months. Long distance. Good evening. Welcome. What's your name? I'm Katie. Behold, champion Irish dancer, Katie. I've been single three and a half years. Of course it gets lonely but I still have my fun. What's my date's name? You know what? He's going to tell you. Don't let him introduce himself. A bit of magic from his side too. I like eyes. Somebody who's got great eyes is huge. Dark eyes or really blue eyes or something like that. Hi, I'm Katie. How's it going? Nice to meet you. What's your name? Kiran. I can't hide my smile. I'd probably be smiling from ear to ear. I hope it doesn't put the other person off because I'm such a big grinning moron. Katie, right? Yes. Sorry, let's just get that through. No, that's alright. So, here we are. You look gorgeous. Thank you so much. I've never been on a blind date before. Neither have I. You look great. Have you ever been on a blind date? I wasn't sure, but it's a pleasant experience so far. Thank you very much. Oh, lovely. Thank you. Brilliant. Thank you so much. Thanks a million. Thank you. Thanks very much. Well, here we go. The ribs are great. How are they? They look horrendously messy. You still look terrible. Not great for a first date. Sorry, don't look at me for a second. I'm not at my most attractive here. Jesus, look at me. I'm spilling all over the gaff. What are your side plates for, Kiran? Oh, my God. We might need more napkins. A lot of people ask me, I'm like, well, you tell me. I think it was more during those kind of years in college that I thought I was approved, and that I was like, you know, Holy Mary, and I thought I was just so good. But, you know, just given the opportunity, I really wasn't all that good. So, tell me what you do. I'm an interior designer. Oh, cool. But it's actually not as cool as you might think. No, don't undersell it. Come on, tell me. Well, it's great. I mean, I love it. I just designed an interior for a cafe in a bike shop. And it's kind of nice. I only graduated last year. This is my first real interior job. You know yourself, absolutely shitting it. And they liked all my ideas, and they're not really changing it. So, I must know what I'm talking about, you know? I'm dazed. Great.
