First Dates has become one of the most comical programs on television in our country. Although it is a format where people of all kinds come in search of love and the right person, every day is the scene of surreal and iconic situations that entertain and amuse millions of viewers.
Carlos Sobera and the entire Mediaset España program team try to ensure that the participants enjoy the evening with a person who fits into what they themselves indicated they were looking for. However, they were not right when they brought Agustín and María Luisa together.
Agustín is a 75-year-old widower who has two children. The bachelor presented himself as a vital person who likes to do things and not stand still for a second. ”I’m a discotheque (…) The dancing is a bit whorish. “I get home at 6 or 7 in the morning,” he explained, making it clear that he is a young soul, but he is not looking for partying, but rather a formal relationship.
The surprise was huge when María Luisa, a 68-year-old retiree from Gijón, entered through the door of Cuatro’s restaurant and recognized her companion for the evening. ”No, please,” she blurted out upon discovering that Agustín would be her date that night. When Sobera asked them if they knew each other, they both responded yes, since they have been dance partners on some occasions.
Although both were educated and Agustín showed interest in the woman, María Luisa used the confessionals to feel comfortable and drop some pearls: ”I like men between 65 and 70 years old,” ”He’s not my prototype , it doesn’t fulfill me”, ‘I don’t want this man at all’, etc.
At one point, the single woman advised her date that he should go more modern to the dances and he responded that he has all kinds of clothes. When Agustín told her about his routine and confessed that he gets up every day at 6 in the morning to go for a walk, the retiree did not show the slightest appreciation: ”I don’t care if he walks, floats or not. know how to swim What I want is for him to do it for me and he doesn’t do it.”
As expected, María Luisa answered before the cameras of the program that she would not have a second date ”as a couple” with Agustín, something that broke the widower’s heart into a thousand pieces, since he had already acknowledged that he would love to have dinner with her and get to know her a little better.
”May it go very well for both of us,” the Asturian woman firmly stated while her date held her hand tightly and told her in a sad tone to have a safe trip back to her homeland.
