"Arturo still talks to his family"

Darling, that means nothing ... it doesn't show absolutely that they are actually separated and not divorced. Being divorced does not necessarily mean cutting off family contacts forever or being enemies for life. Even as divorced, it is possible to be good friends for the sake of their children. Take my maternal uncles, for example: They are divorced about 12 years ago, now they live far away with their new partners. But despite this, they have become good friends and are still in touch with the rest of the family. Moreover, the arrival of a new granddaughter had made them both grandparents and had brought them together very recently, even though they were divorced and remarried with their partners.

"Carlotta helping Maria become presentable on a romantic date but with Maria having an unhappy face and in fact if Maria is happy with her family then she doesn't need a boyfriend"

This also shows nothing. If she really didn't want to have a boyfriend, then she would have to politely refuse Carlotta saying she wasn't interested at all. Instead, she quietly agreed to attend that event. Even she had smiled enthusiastically at her first suitor. I believe that having made that face is another reason, instead: 1) She simply is annoyed that Carlotta has included her in the "Middle-Aged Match" category. A very unflattering and very annoying definition to indicate a woman's advanced age. 2) or, Maria is just annoyed that Carlotta has included her in the dating app without asking permission. She felt diminished that way because she seemed to be considered incapable of finding a new partner by herself. 3) or just for the fact that Maria doesn't believe much in the Apps, instead preferring the real ones. Because of this, she was a little annoyed.
