“Every day is the best day of my life,” he said.

When discussing courtship, Blanco said that he “gives his all on every date…That doesn’t mean he spends his entire bank account. It means paying attention and listening.”

For a perfect first date, Blanco suggested: “It has to be something crazy because you want to make an impression. The person will go out on many first dates and you need to secure your spot.”

He added: “Everyone is so busy, everyone is so stressed. If we can just sit back and forget everything for one to four hours – if it’s a good date, five hours – then everything is fine. Don’t you sometimes leave a date and think, ‘Oh my God, what the hell?’ Time just flew by!’”
