Dia Wants a Prince Charming… Can Damian Deliver? | First Dates Ireland

Fear is not a word in Skydiver Damien's dictionary. He speaks the language of love. Love is difficult, but it's fantastic. That's a test for them. Bless you. I hope everything looks fine. Thanks. How you doing, pal? Whiskey shower works for you? Yeah. Too early? Yeah, we're good. No, we'll go for that and we'll cap it at that then. I really hope she's going to have a drink as well or I'll look really bad. I'm Dia and I'm almost 35 and I'm a single mum. In the game of love, you choose your playmates with care. Dia has no time for toy boys. I do get a bit of interest, except from younger men. But obviously, we're looking for different things. At my age, I'm looking for something more mature and more serious than what 21-year-olds would be looking for. Your date is over here, waiting at the bar. I was talking to a friend of mine and she said, oh, do you have a checklist? And I'm like, well actually, because all my relationships have gone so wrong, I know what I don't want. I don't want him to be a thief or a criminal. Hi. Hi, how are you doing? Dia. Nice to meet you. How are things? Hi, thank you. So your accent, you're not Irish? I'm half Russian, half Cuban. OK, very cool. I've been here 19 years. Moving to Ireland defined me. Having my daughter alone defined me a great deal. My mum and my daughter are in County Clare, they live there. And I moved to Dublin then for work. I've been able to achieve everything on my own. And I decided that I wasn't going to wait for Prince Charming. I don't need him. I just want him. If you had to pick between a starter or a dessert, which would you be? Sweet or savoury? Do you know, I don't eat a lot. So I usually don't do either. OK. No, that's being frank. I find Irish men very attractive. Except that I haven't actually met the one for me, but in the ways that they're so calm. And I'm not. And I love the Irish sense of humour. So we've covered all the bases for the food for the next date. Yeah.
