"I love bacon, as well." "Wow.. What a coincidence! Same interests, that's amazing."

[@thatroonstboi6231]

I love bacon as well. If only I can find a woman who likes bacon.

[@zodsi]

its adorable

[@alezmcc]

"Katie is like soft, loveable and caring". That is such a great description of somebody, adorable!

[@kelstew5239]

Katie and Ronan make me want to burst into confetti, they are just lovely together 😊

[@jaspercraig-adams6104]

Ronan makes me want to become a better man 🫂

[@thedman1386]

This is my most favourite story of the series.

[@SarahCreelman]

“Sometimes I have sausages too” - this is the cutest date 🥰

[@nyankitehh]

"Sometimes I have sausages, and not only that, bacon too." "What a coincidence, same interests". I love that. He's just so funny without trying/meaning to be. And this date is so sweet

[@hannahhelton3789]

The word “wholesome” gets thrown around a lot but…. They’re seriously the most sweet and wholesome couple I’ve ever seen

[@iWrestleUSA]

I always catch myself saying “my pleasure” just like Ronan 😂

[@kangaroo432]

I'm obsessed with Ronan and Katie. Cutest couple ever!

[@meggykarimi9982]

Authentic relationship without drama and toxic people...sooo pure...sooo real....

[@elizabeththomas8098]

What an honour to be with this lovely couple on the first date. Thank you.

[@ryneldcurtis112]

I love Katie’s soft voice!☺️

[@kikithepupper6774]

Ronan is a real sweetheart and a charmer and yet this was his ever first date!

[@crystal.matter]

I'm honestly so glad that Ronan's first ever date was such a good match.

[@laureli988]

It's the eye contact. I sense romance as well. Hope everything works out....I want updates!💛💛

[@ellic7248]

The way that Ronan talks about Katie is unbelievably sweet. I loved this season so much and I really hope there is a third season

[@jeremystark3350]

Bacon is always bringing the world together. These two are absolutely adorable.

[@cubed0724]

Why can't dating be normal like this for non autistic people?

[@Love11904]

Does anyone cry? Watching his segment or is it just me

[@loveinthematrix]

The fact that they are both wearing pink and the pink around the flowers. So perfect

[@pebr3130]

When I met Ronan, he was an absolute legend! So happy to see him going on a date! So wholesome!!! 😊❤️

[@leif3762]

Ronan has got me saying "Boy, oh boy!" great show.

[@ntumba007]

Ronan is my favourite. He and Katie both make my heart melt. I wish them all the happiness in the world 💖

[@TlynT]

What lovely, well matched, beautiful people! They clearly have fantastic, supportive families as well. Katie's voice is so soothing. I wish she could tell me bedtime stories until I fall asleep lol. She's so gorgeous. Glowing skin, sparkling eyes, always stylish and what a gift she must be to those around her. So sweet and attentive. She's like the best friend everyone needs. Ronan pours so much thought and effort into not only his time with Katie but, he's spent years preparing himself to be the best man he can be for his future partner. An essential SO many ignore, he is acing! He anticipates the needs of others and plans for them. When his words fail to deliver his desired message you can see him reworking a new approach to make her feel more comfortable. I think they are what it looks like when 2 people give equal effort and have identical values regarding the treatment of others. Ronan also has a wonderful ability to express his feelings and emotions with his face in such a refreshing and endearing way.

[@elmartilo1686]

These two don't have a single bad bone in their body. 😊

[@angeladanilis6532]

Katie and Ronan are so perfect. What a gorgeous couple and love story. 💞💞

[@vickykulig5080]

Katie is just so pretty, inside and out.

[@jackquinn3095]

My heart almost exploded just watching these two in the second series, I can't imagine how they felt😀

[@tonikb]

Ronan is amazing. He’s literally so sweet and fun, just an amazing man all around 🥲 and Katie is beautiful! I love them both, my favorite couple 💕

[@izio4408]

Katie reminds me of my brother who has a disability. And I’m just a mess when I watch her talk. Cried so much watching this show and I’m a grown man

[@Vero.does.better]

If a relationship is not like this, I don't want it. Such beautiful people. Blessings.

[@PRYDEEE]

There really is some shit on tv these days...this however is one of most heartwarming, honest and beautiful programmes I have ever seen. We could all learn a lot from both Ronan and Katie 😊

[@bobcult]

This show better than these reality shows there put on these days

[@Cinder_311]

I died laughing at his facial expression when Katie was wrecking the race car 🤣

[@pontuslindstrom1052]

Ronan is the most wonderful human being on the planet

[@housestarr]

They’re so adorable 😭

[@AlexMR]

I want to say thank you to the producers of this show for truly helping me get a better understanding of autism and people on the spectrum it truly is they express themselves differently. Funny enough sometimes I think to pair them with someone with ADHD we never run out of topics haha I love Ronan he's so adorable

[@richardj1319]

Ronan seems like such a genuinely good guy.

[@wayne2816wayne]

All these folks on the series are just so pure and genuine. We could all learn a few things from these lot.

[@icomeinpeace3756]

When i say they melt my heart whenever i saw them on the screen. Katie literally is a cherub. So beautiful. They make me believe in love.

[@ehhhhhe]

You two are such a lovely couple and just such sweet and gentle people. Your story made me cry! Wishing you all the best in your future 💞

[@ohmisskaimi]

[@vanzyli]

Gosh, I just adore these two. I just wish them happiness and love.

[@savagesfortruth]

This show is the cutest love story I’ve ever seen

[@ultimatesportsmedicine4395]

I love him soooo much, he is so sweet :) Although they may be different in their unique ways, they do not let pride or ego get in their way. I feel like that is part of the reason these dates went on successfully. Yea they may have had trouble in the past finding dates or whatever but now that they get to experience dating they don't bring an ego or their pride to the dates. They are genuine with their intentions and its pretty refreshing to witness :)

[@MaggieRoo0]

My absolute favorite couple 💖 both are lovely. Katie has the cutest voice. I believe this is what we call love at first sight.
