We all know that First Dates can be cringe AF.

Seventy-eight per cent of watching First Dates is you at home looking at the television screen and then looking at the person next to you, saying "Oh god, no."

Last night's episode featured one of the cringiest moments yet. My GOD. Meet Elaine and Steve.

They hit it off straightaway. Elaine had a love of music, Steve is a music producer, and they both love dancing.

In the interview bit afterwards, Elaine was like: "I am shocked. I am still trying to get over it, really. However, I am going to reserve judgment until I speak to him."

Here's his defence. Steve, who didn't regret his decision, said: "I'm an equal opportunities kind of guy."

And then when the interviewer offscreen asked them whether they would go on another date, it was as awkward as these next two images.

This image is screaming.

"He had his day in court, and he was adamant that he did the right thing, which is fine if that is the way he is. I don't want to be with someone who is like that. I don't."

Her final line: "I'm worth a lot more than that."

So let's work this out.
