'What a guy' - Fans react to 'triple threat' Offaly farmer on First Dates on RTE

Social media users have reacted to an adorable encounter on the latest episode of First Dates Ireland as an Offaly farmer told his date she 'isn't being treated right'.

Fans of the popular dating show took to social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts on a date between Chloe (21) from Cavan and Craig.

Fair featured Craig Claxton is a 21 year old dairy farmer from Tullamore and he appeared hesitant to get his jiving shoes on for Chloe who was looking for a jiving partner.

As Chloe asked could Craig jive, Craig said: "I went for lessons. I have the concept of doing it but at the moment I probably would make a mockery of the two of us. I just need guidance."

Chloe offered a helping hand saying she would try to help as Craig laughed.

Chloe admitted she was not used to eating in fancy restaurants as the pair made plans for their second date while getting a little too comfortable under the table as the camera showed the pair's legs almost intertwined!

Chloe said, "on dates the most places I get brought to is McDonald's."

Craig quickly says, "you're not being treated well."

Discussing plans for the second date, Craig said, "going to put you through your paces now, the whole day. Start off with a hike, maybe a coffee on the way. Finish off with a bit of food, watch the sunset, a whole day of an adventure."

Reacting to this lovely encounter, one user said: "What a guy! I wish there were more like him."

Another user said: "Aw. They are adorable."

Craig bagged a second date with Chloe but the pair have yet to jive as farmer Craig's 'main ladies' take up most of his time.
