The most romantic restaurant on television closed its doors for another week. On Friday night, Carlos Sobera and Laura Boado welcomed a new batch of singles, who decided to show up to First Dates in the hope of finding love. But viewers of the Cuatro format are more than used to the fact that anything can happen between those four walls.
Two of the great stars of the night were Dori and José Antonio. The 75-year-old single woman from Avila arrived at the restaurant claiming to be a conceited person. ''I like to be well dressed, I don't care if I go shopping, to a dance or to mass,'' she declared. The single woman divorced her in 2000 and since then she had had some partners. ''I get along wonderfully well with everyone,'' she commented. She wanted to meet an active person.
His date was going to be José Antonio, a 75-year-old retiree from Cantabria, who wanted to meet a ''normal woman''. ''I don't like those who wear miniskirts,'' he commented. The first impression among the singles was very different. While José Antonio was more than delighted with her, Dori was totally disappointed with her styling. ''I like that they are better dressed and that they smell like cologne. The wool sweater to have a coffee at the bar next door is fine, but to come to a program as beautiful as this...I see it as a little rough,'' she said. ''
After exchanging their first words, Laura Boado accompanied the couple inside the restaurant. There, the singles began the evening talking about loneliness. And despite trying to find love, both claimed to enjoy their time alone. Dori said that she spent most of her time sewing and driving. She was so entertained, that she ran out of time. ''He's nice and tractable, but not for a relationship,'' she asserted.
The date was progressing and the lack of physical attraction between the singles, especially on her part, was being a great obstacle to creating any bond. But communication between them was not flowing either. And the single woman confessed that there were times when she didn't understand anything the bachelor said. ''He has a more village style and I am more modern,'' she said.
At one point during the dinner, the singles agreed on their passion for bread. Furthermore, José Antonio seemed confident about the date and assured that something very nice could arise between the two. ''If he doesn't like me, it's because he has bad taste,'' he pointed out.
In the final stretch of the date, the First Dates restaurant was transformed into a dance floor, where the singles demonstrated their great dancing skills. ''I wouldn't mind giving her a second date, but she still doesn't want to,'' commented José Antonio. In the final decision, the bachelor was greatly disappointed with Dori's rejection, but despite everything, they agreed to remain friends.
