First impressions are not easy – especially on first dates. Kate Gosselin can relate. On the latest episode of TLC’s Kate Plus Date, a clip shows the mom of eight sitting through a painful first date.
The clip highlighted a date Kate, 44, went on with a man named Andrew who works in medical sales.
The former Jon & Kate Plus 8 matriarch expressed boredom throughout the encounter, and long pauses and forced conversation made the air tense. Though Andrew welcomed a lull in conversation, Kate disagreed.
“So I thought maybe he would be himself at dinner, but that wasn’t the case,” Kate said after her first – and what presumably was her last – date with Andrew.

“Weird, crazy awkward. I don’t know if it looked painful, but I was aware that it felt so painful," she explained.
“I mean, I’m not at a loss for words, ever,” the reality star continued. “But it was so hard to come up with stuff because anything I asked or said, I got like, one, maybe two word answers and no expounding upon it. Then it was like, back to you again, Kate!”
Kate and ex-husband Jon Gosselin, 42, divorced in 2009 and she carried the show as Kate Plus 8 from 2009 to 2017. A year later, in April 2018, Kate shared news about Kate Plus Date.
