About this title

Storyline

`First Dates' is a dating show with a twist that takes advantage of modern forms of dating. Each episode documents a number of couples having dinner in a unique restaurant in which everyone is on a first date. Viewers see the daters from the moment they meet until the meal is over, sharing the highs of lows of each couple's date. At the end of each date, the couple talks candidly about the experience and answers the question everybody has: will the daters see each other again? If the answer is `no', that's when the twist comes into play. The unsuccessful daters appeal to the viewers, who then apply on Channel 4's website if they want to be considered as their next potential date. If a viewer is chosen by one of the daters, the two can be featured on a future episode of `First Dates'.
