Seven’s First Dates Australia delivered a particularly emotional moment as one contestant was left in tears after her date picked up the dinner bill.
The dating series featured 56-year-old Amanda, who became emotional when her date, fellow 56-year-old David, unexpectedly offered to pay for their meal.
The sweet (and slightly awkward) moment came as the pair continued getting to know each other, with Amanda visibly moved by the gesture.

“It touched me, because it’s a big thing for me,” Amanda said. “It was lovely.”
