No First Dates Please! Irene’s Decision Regarding Xavi
First Dates, a dating show has had its fair share of action when Irene and Xavi met for a blind date. 35-year-old Sabadell born Irene isn’t shy to say what she thinks about Xavi, a 36-year-old warehouse worker from Barcelona. Talking about disappointment, the date swiftly turned into a narrative of unmet expectations and red flags.
Let’s put faces to the names
- Xavi: Easy-going and pleasant, Xavi pledged that he had never been effectively engaged in relationships, circumscribing on being, ‘Too good for what one does hunt for normally.’ Residing with his parents with a relatively quiet life, Xavi believed someone who like him appreciated the stillness.
- Irene: Having called herself a posh who also has ‘a bit of a neighborhood twist’, Irene came into the date with a sharp tongue and no tolerance for what she considers to be inadequacies of a potential partner.
Once bitten twice shyis applicable to her because prior bad dating experiences didn’t manipulate her outlook but only made her more cautious.
The Beginning of The Date and The Final Showdown
When they met for the date, Irene was already having doubts. Xavi’s hairstyle was the reason for ire but more in this case however:
“That hairstyle needs to be revamped,” she remarked.
The fact that Xavi had never actually had a girlfriend was cause for concern.
“It is suspicious. Perhaps it is because his feet stink,” she joked.
This was made much worse by the fact f Xavi still lived with his parents even though he was over thirty years of age. For Irene, this indicated an adolescent level of autonomy and maturity:
“Blood, child, blood,” was her reply while in her apparent disdain for his lack of interaction encouraging his parents.
Confessions and Compatibility Issues
Another hurdle for the date was Irene’s ‘curse’ of ‘falling in love at first sight’ every time her partner engaged her physically, and more so often heartache:
“If I have sex, I fall in love. And the last one drove me crazy.”
In the middle of the chaos, he managed to get a few moments of peace, quite enjoying the stares as he simply injected himself inocyde to cure his pain. It was amusing, not pitying.
“How modern! Artificial intelligence, baby!”
Things went from bad to worse when Xavi happened to mention that he was not really a big reader – that was a deal-breaker for Irene, who was surprised at his lack of depth.
The Final Verdict
Xavi was still interested in a second date except Irene was not interested:
“It looks like I have too much street for him.”
But even worse for Xavi, the last straw came when he failed to pick up the tab for dinner. That brought Irene’s interest to an end.
Difficult Encounter in the Series First Dates
The episode showed the necessity of values in relationships and also how people should have similar lifestyles. Despite Xavi’s persistence in being positive, Irene’s fierce contempt and expectations proved that the relationship could not be.
