The complexity of finding love in modern times has led many to look for alternative solutions, and First Dates has emerged as an interesting option. This program, broadcast on Cuatro, has won the hearts of thousands of singles looking for love, becoming an emblem of hope and opportunities. Two of the protagonists of the dating program have been Marina, a drawing artist, and Rubén, who prefers tattoos.
Marina has shared that, although speaking has never been a problem for her, it is through drawing where she has truly been able to express what she has inside. Her past experiences in love have been varied, so she is currently looking for someone who is romantic without falling into excessive kitsch. Rubén, for his part, has claimed to have an impulsive and crazy side, although he has also mentioned being quite calm.
As soon as they met, Marina was impressed with Rubén’s style, finding his combination of serenity and energy attractive. However, doubts have arisen when Rubén has spoken about his future plans, such as devoting himself to tattooing and moving out of the city to have a large house with animals, which Marina has not seen favorably, interpreting it as a sign of lack of concentration on the present.
Rubén, for his part, has reflected on his unfocused lifestyle, recognizing that “it’s like you say but sometimes I lose focus. I let myself go and take advantage of every moment.” The young man’s mind seems to fly easily, but it is something he wants to remedy: “It’s one of the shits I try to correct.”
Despite their differences, they have both found common ground in their love for art. At this moment, Marina has expressed her desire to “get to the point where saying this expresses what I want.”
In the final decision, the doubts have been stronger than the desire to continue getting to know each other. “There’s a lot left to know and I’m curious. We’re from Madrid and there’s no reason not to see each other,” he said. Despite this, Marina has decided to continue seeing each other only as friends, citing the dispersion of her date as the main reason for not having a date.
