First Dates, the daily dating show hosted by Carlos Sobera, tries to bring together people from all over the country who have the same goal: to fall in love. Although on many occasions they do not find their better half, singles almost always meet a person with whom they can maintain, at least, a beautiful friendship.
In addition, the program is characterized for being one of the most inclusive spaces on television. Every day, dozens of singles of all genders, ages, physical aspects, tastes… go to the most famous restaurant on TV to live a new experience and let themselves be carried away by their feelings.
This is the case of Paqui, a 74-year-old woman from Granada who came to the program eager to meet a leading man who would make her have a great time. Before starting the date, the single woman told Sobera that she went down the aisle at a very young age. “At 17 I got married, at 23 I already had six children and at 58 I separated,” the Andalusian explained while she clarified that she was now a widow. Faced with such a confession, the presenter was speechless, since he could not believe everything that Paqui had experienced.
A little later, Paqui met her date, José Luis, a 77-year-old widower without children who was looking to find love and thus give his life a new direction. Since his wife passed away, the bachelor had tried to maintain different relationships, but they all went wrong.
Things did not start very well, since Paqui did not like the physique of her companion at all and was uncomfortable while questioning her age or if she did sports. The widower for his part, limited himself to saying nice things about the woman from Granada, such as that he was very well for being 74 years old.
”I would like him to be younger, to take better care of himself. Movement, I need movement,” the woman explained to the cameras of the program after sharing an evening with José Luis.
Although they had some things in common, such as the desire to find someone to live with and live as a couple or who would not forgive an infidelity, everything seemed to indicate that Paqui had not felt a crush and that she was not going to want to know more about his companion.
In the final decision, José Luis said that Paqui was a very elegant woman and that he would love to have a second meeting with her, something that, surprisingly, the woman from Granada shared. The single woman made it clear that first as friends, but that they would give each other their phones and “let’s see what happens.”
