Every day it is more difficult to find a stable partner, and each person has their own way of facing the ups and downs of life. There is always time for love, whether temporary or more extended in time, but unfortunately time and other aspects of life consume the possibilities. Fortunately, there is an alternative: First Dates. Since 2016, the Cuatro program presented by Carlos Sobera has offered the opportunity to have dinner with a blind date and try your luck.
This was the case of María, a 61-year-old housewife from Valencia who had a problem between them: she had not managed to love another man other than her husband. Unfortunately, she had been a widow for a long time and she was looking for a man with whom to have company, preferably in the style of Sobera himself. Her partner was going to be Pascual, a 63-year-old appliance repairman also from Valencia, with a curious habit.
“Every day I eat approximately one head of garlic, because this prevents me from headaches, prevents rheumatic pain, prevents discomfort, prevents me from many problems,” confessed the protagonist. An affectation that did not fit María at all from the first contact at the bar. “I noticed right away that she smelled like garlic, and I can't stand the smell of garlic,” she expressed, moments before they were both directed to the table.
The division of opinions between the two was clear from the first moment. Pascual claimed not to know why all the women he had been with left his side. Although he has a daughter, he separated from his wife and insisted that it was not his fault. For her part, María believed she was “more active, more rejuvenated” within the three-year difference with her partner. Even though Pascual believed that María was alone because she wanted to, she confessed to having buried 3 loved ones in 3 years in a row.
In the end, the garlic conflict also ended up coming up in conversation in the middle of the table. Pascual, in addition to discovering to his partner that he cycled 10 kilometers, confessed that he ate garlic for health reasons, to cleanse his blood and improve other issues. An honesty that María appreciated behind the scenes, but that would not affect her final decision, when she responded that she would not have a second date with him.
Although each appointment can end with a different result, positive ones often end up happening immediately. This was the case of Alfredo and Sandra last week. During the initial cocktail, they both discovered that they shared the same passion: motorcycles. “Are you a biker? Don't tell me yes? Do you know how difficult it is to find someone like that? ”Confessed the person involved, although he would end up rejecting a second date due to the differences in dealing with everyday life.
