On the reality dating show First Dates, an unusual moment unfolds when a divorced woman reacts strongly the moment she learns about one of her date’s hobbies. Mª Jose introduces himself with a candid self-description: outwardly, he appears to be a very modern man, yet in matters of love, like in years past, the small gestures carry a lot of weight, such as a simple car door being opened for you. During his introduction, he makes it clear that his aim is to be authentic, not flawless, and he wants his date to understand that honesty will guide their interaction from the start.
The episode then places him in front of Vicente, a mason with a big heart who is hoping to meet someone who values kindness and genuineness. Across the table, the two begin to learn about each other, and early on Mª Jose compares his date to a bullfighter, sparking a lively exchange. Along the way, Vicente encounters an admirer among the guests at dinner, an interaction that leaves a strong impression and adds a thread of intrigue to the evening.
As conversations progress, the mood feels comfortable and natural until the topic shifts to a hobby that creates tension. Mª Jose discovers that hunting is among Vicente’s pastimes, and the revelation instantly shapes the course of the date. The reaction is clear: Mª Jose admits she does not want a hunter in her life. Her comment lands with emphasis, suggesting Sundays would be spent apart rather than together, a line that reveals the growing divergence in their lifestyles.
Vicente explains that his hunting is limited to birds and takes place in his hometown. He clarifies that the activity is something he does on weekends and that he returns home early enough to maintain his routines and responsibilities. The conversation continues with a calm and respectful exchange, as both parties try to understand the other’s point of view. This moment, though brief, becomes a defining element of the evening and sets the stage for the subsequent decision-making process. The dialogue remains open, and the participants share perspectives rather than letting the difference fester into a conflict. In the end, Vicente’s thoughtful explanation helps to ease the tension, and the couple agrees to a second date, signaling a potential path forward if there is room to bridge their differences.
