New year and new loves. In the program broadcast this January 1 on ‘First Dates’ on Cuatro, Lucía, 31, a waitress and student originally from Lleida (although with Chinese roots), is looking for love after having left her partner months ago in search of form a family.
Gonzalo, 31, a mechanic and yacht skipper from Barcelona, ??attracts attention from the beginning when he appears before Lucía doing a handstand. “I wanted to highlight one of the few qualities I have, which is balance, to draw attention to it,” explained Gonzalo, who defines himself as a lover of the Renaissance and admirer of Leonardo Da Vinci.
Despite the unusual presentation, Lucía did not hesitate to express her admiration: “It’s good.” However, during the appointment, fundamental differences emerge. Lucía reveals her desire to be her mother, while Gonzalo, focused on traveling and seeing the world, does not contemplate fatherhood in the short term. The distance in his aspirations is evident in a trivial game: “Are you ‘addictive’ or passive in bed?”
The final decision comes at the end of the date, where Lucía states that she would not have a second date due to fundamental differences over motherhood. Gonzalo, for his part, confesses that he loves Lucía but also rules out a second date, suggesting “one or two crazy nights.” The tension and divergence in his desires generate reactions on social networks.
Comments on social networks reflect divided opinions. Some criticize the prioritization of the decision about having children on a first date, considering it ridiculous, while others praise Gonzalo’s attitude in suggesting more flexible and gray options along the way.
The date on ‘First Dates’ demonstrates that, even in the world of televised encounters, fundamental differences can overshadow the initial connection, leaving viewers with a mixture of surprise and reflection on the complexities of finding love.
