The most romantic program on television, First Dates, celebrated its eighth anniversary in style this Monday. The television program presented by Carlos Sobera and Laura Boado turned eight years on the air and to celebrate it, the Cuatro program team decided to organize a very special delivery with six dates and a graduation dance that left no one indifferent.
One of the dates of the night was the one starring Maribel and José. The single woman from Madrid, living in Benidorm, arrived at the restaurant without confessing her age and showing off her elegance. ''I like having a handsome and precious man by my side, but there is the fatal market,'' she declared. And the single woman explained that there were no more classy gentlemen left, like Carlos Sobera. ''They are simple, bland and paunchy,'' she said.
Maribel also confessed that "she was a lady who gave status to any man" and therefore she wanted to meet someone with the same characteristics. Her date was José, a 76-year-old bachelor from Madrid who claimed as soon as he arrived the three things he needed in his life: ''Travel, going out to dinner and sex.'' The first impression among the singles was quite normal. ''She's very good, she's attractive, I liked her,'' he declared.
However, the single woman from Madrid suffered the first disappointment of the night as soon as the evening began. Suddenly, José's cell phone began to ring to the rhythm of Corazón Latino by David Bisbal, a detail that did not please the single woman. ''When I arrived the first thing I did was put my phone on silent. Knowing how to be there is also important,' he asserted.
Moments later, the singles caught up on their current retired lives, an occasion that José took advantage of to confess his three hobbies. ''You're going to be scared, one is going out to dinner, the other is traveling and the other is sex, I love it. Do you like it?'' he said. ''It depends on who,'' the single woman replied. ''I have to have a partner who likes sex,'' he stressed. But Maribel was not a person willing to talk about sex in public. ''Without class and without style,'' she said.
At one point during the evening, Maribel showed interest in knowing José's professional career to find out his financial situation. ''He has good purchasing power, but I don't think he's a millionaire either,'' declared the single woman while she joked that ''he lived off of men.'' Regarding how her ideal man had to be, Maribel said that he had to be "a man with class, who knows how to be with a woman and is thoughtful." ''Let's see what whims he wants because they depend on my possibilities,'' he said.
In the final stretch, the couple's destiny was more than written. For this reason, the single woman rejected the man from Madrid because she had not felt chemistry, although she left the door open to a friendship. However, Maribel got a final surprise with José's last confession: ''I am your lackey and I will do everything possible to be your king. From here to below I'm going to eat your bunny so I can be your king, my love.'' ''That doesn't come out,'' the single woman said as she left the restaurant.
