Miguel bores Susan on the date by only talking about himself

Susan had high expectations for her date with Miguel, and she had expressed her long list of criteria to her matchmaker, Juan. She wanted someone who was not only good-looking but also caring, understanding and a true listener. Faith was important to Susan, along with a good sense of humor and irresistible charm. She desired a partner who enjoyed exploring new things and was adaptable to change. However, there was one condition that Susan emphasized more than anything else: She had absolutely no interest in emotional vampires and strictly prohibited their presence.

Juan was amazed by Susan's unique and specific criteria, as he had never encountered such a peculiar list before. He decided to match Susan with Miguel, a native of Colombia. Unfortunately, the date took an unexpected turn, leaving Susan feeling uncomfortable. In a confessional, she shared her disappointment, saying, "Miguel is so arrogant, boring, and never once asks me about myself. This is bad. I need to find a way out." However, Susan's plans to escape were quickly thwarted when Miguel took it upon himself to prolong the evening by ordering an elaborate meal.

In another confessional, Susan expressed her frustration, stating, "I didn't even want food. I was hoping for some small snacks for dinner like ceviche. But then he went and ordered a steak. Why would he do that?" The culprit was a New York strip steak, cooked well-done. In the restaurant's bathroom, Susan confessed, "Appetizers are fine because you can leave after having a quick snack. But now I'm stuck with this steak," she laughed to herself. Despite her initial expectations and Miguel's failure to meet them, Susan found herself in an uncomfortable situation during her date. With her specific criteria and hopes for a connection shattered, Susan took off from her date and left her date alone in the restaurant. 

'He has NO class and NO social skills.'

Miguel faced heavy criticism from fans who accused him of being self-obsessed, to the point where he didn't allow Susan a chance to interact with him. One fan sarcastically commented, "Miguel is like the off-brand version, I bet he smells like old spice." Another chimed in, saying, "What a weird guy." Adding to the speculation, another fan humorously remarked, "Miguel has to be a robot wearing a human costume." There were even suspicions that Miguel's motives were solely driven by a desire for more screen time. One fan pointed out, "I think Miguel just wants screen time, nothing more."

Many fans noticed that he dominated the conversation and didn't give Susan a chance to speak. One fan criticized, "Miguel talked too much and wouldn't let Susan get a word in." Another fan highlighted the liberties Miguel took, stating, "I have never ordered for a woman while on a date."  In the eyes of the viewers, Miguel's actions and demeanor left a negative impression. Fans were unimpressed with his self-centeredness and his failure to create a balanced and engaging conversation with Susan.
