The pair seemed to get on well but things quickly soured when the bill was left at their table at the end of the meal.
Ben went to pay, only for Amy to offer to go halves. To her surprise, he agreed and girlfriend was not impressed.
Ben is DEAD to Amy for not paying ? #FirstDatesIRL

When the bill comes don't say "we'll split this yeah?" And then get thick over it when he agrees. Gobshite! #mixedmessages #FirstDatesIRL

Word to the wise: if you mention your Dad's boat, you gotta pay for meal. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them. #FirstDatesIRL

Either way, the whole thing was a tough watch and definitive proof that dating in 2018 is a goddamn minefield.I can't staaaand that "we'll split it" *waits for him to insist on paying* *is irate when he doesn't*

One reason I'm glad I'll never grace the screens of #FirstDatesIRL is the cheque issue. Half of Twitter screams "cheapskate" if you don't pay while the other half screams "misogynist" if you do.
