And you know what that means. It means awkward dates. Whether they're we've-just-met-and-really-aren't-at-Valentine's-Day-stage-yet dates or I-actually-want-to-break-up-with-you-but-can't-do-it-on-Valentine's-Day dates or the good old classic blind dates, they're all there.
Now, we're a fan of the blind date because they're often not actually awkward at all. It all depends on where you go and who you're with.
Seriously, though, location is key. So when we decided to set up a few lucky guys and gals to get some lovin' in the air, we thought long and hard about where to send them. We decided on the races.
Odd choice, you say? Perhaps. But think about it. There's stuff to do all the time, there's food to eat, there's craic, there are horses (everyone loves horses), AND you can win money. What more do you need, really? Plus it makes it memorable - it's a date with a difference. The perfect location, we think.
Let us introduce you to our three couples. To start their date off, each couple had to pick an envelope which decided what they would get up to for the day.
First, meet Scott and Lorna, who picked the Punters Pack envelope. These two young lovebirds (we hope) spent their day in the thick of the action, placing bets, munching on burgers, and drinking pints. A perfect fun and casual date.
Couple number two is Lisa and Mark, who drew the Hospitality envelope. This lucky couple were given the top luxury treatment and got to tuck into a three course meal, complete with Champagne, at the 1888 restaurant at the Leopardstown racecourse. (Very fancy!)
Our final couple is Stephen and Annmarie. These two got the Ownership card, meaning they got to experience the day as horse owners and trainers, even getting a little trip into the winners' enclosure. Talk about going right to the top.
The couples all had tons to do on their day out but did they win any of their bets and, most importantly, did they hit it off?
Check out the video and find out if anyone found love at the races.
