Finding love continues to be a pending task for many people. For this reason, there are already many who decide to appear on the most popular dating program on the small screen, First Dates, with the hope of meeting someone very special with whom to start a beautiful love story. However, Cuatro viewers are more than used to seeing all kinds of outcomes, some more fortunate than others.
One of the dates on Tuesday night was the one starring José and Coca. The 70-year-old bachelor from Madrid arrived at the restaurant claiming to be a great fan of love poems. He had been without a partner for many years because he had not been able to find his better half. ''I haven't had sex in a long time, a couple of years and that's quite a bit,'' he commented. He considered himself a very romantic and passionate person. ''Having sex frees you from problems,'' said the bachelor.
Her date was going to be Mari José, or as everyone called her, Coca, a 65-year-old single woman from Madrid, who entered the restaurant exuding energy. ''I am a positive person and I want positive people by my side,'' she declared. The first impression between the singles was normal, although Coca was clear that José was not her type. ''I think that when he was young he had to be handsome, but I like them taller and younger,'' she said.
Moments later, the presenter accompanied the couple to their table, where the singles began the evening talking about their personalities. José said that he was a person who gave his trust very quickly. ''Trust of what? You have to know a person first and then give them trust,'' she said.
Regarding what they were looking for in the program, the singles agreed that they were looking for a stable partner with whom to live and spend the rest of their days. But the big differences between the singles reappeared when the single woman confessed to being very passionate about her job as a telephone operator and the single man, who had been a civil servant in her day, explained that working had never been her great passion. ''Another point against. ''He has worked for what he is, a lazy person,'' she asserted.
Furthermore, José left the single woman stunned by defining himself as a very sincere person. ''I don't see you as being too sincere,'' the single woman told him. ''How can you say that if you don't know me?'' asserted the bachelor. ''Tell me what you brag about and I'll tell you what you lack,'' she replied.
In the final stretch of the evening, the lack of complicity and interest among the singles was taking its toll on the date and therefore, José and Coca were clear about what their response was going to be in the final decision. However, the bachelor, who had become fed up with the continuous reproaches of his date, did not hesitate to reproach Coca for his attitude throughout the dinner. ''She contradicts things, she is very blunt,'' he stressed. ''That's having clear ideas,'' she replied. ''You give an opinion without knowing (...) You have to know how to give an opinion and to do so you have to know the person,'' he stated.
