I did a recap post when I had gotten to 25 First Dates (or halfway to 50). Now, that I’ve gotten to 50 First Dates, it’s time to do another recap post.

Dates 26-50 took place from June 2019 to September 2021.

WHERE DID WE MEET?
Kilkenny – 9
Dublin – 8
Cork – 2
Dungarvan – 2
Carlow – 1
Gorey – 1
Portlaois – 1
Wexford – 1
Interestingly, only 36% of the dates were in Kilkenny. Almost as many were in Dublin 32%. First Dates in other places was also 32%. I had clearly matched and dated all of the local women and was looking further afield for love.

WHERE WERE THEY FROM?
Ireland – 13
USA – 4
Northern Ireland – 1
Russia – 1
Latvia – 1
Brazil – 1
Poland – 1
Israel – 1
Spain – 1
Ukraine – 1
Just over half were Irish women. 16% were from the US. I find it amazing that so many of my First Dates were with non-Irish women. I thought that I would meet a vast majority of Irish women, but even though I would match with them, they wouldn’t go on a date.

KISS AND TELL
I kissed 8 or 32% of those 25 First Dates.

1-25 VS. 26-50

The numbers for First Dates 26-50 aren’t significantly different from First Dates 1-25. I find this to be pretty interesting. It’s like my dating habits had not changed over time. Even during COVID.

MY BIGGEST TAKE AWAY

I won’t meet an Irish women living in Kilkenny.
