Teddy is on the phone today for a first date follow

0:09

up and he's getting ghosted by Maya.

0:11

So in a few minutes we're gonna call her see if she told

0:14

us why she's ghosting him, and maybe get him another date.

0:16

But first, Teddy, how long has it been since

0:18

you heard from her?

0:19

I'd spent about a week.

0:21

How many times have you tried to reach out to her?

0:23

Maybe three times? Like what's

0:26

every couple days? Two or three days,

0:28

just you know, saying what's up?

0:29

How's it going.

0:30

We were talking before h and after

0:34

we went out that it just kind of stopped.

0:36

She didn't respond to any of those I.

0:38

Know, not not at all.

0:40

Well, let's talk about the date and see if we can

0:42

see went wrong? What and see what

0:44

went wrong?

0:46

We went to a really nice place we went to I don't

0:48

know if you've ever been there, but really

0:51

cool. If they have a rooftop dining area.

0:53

So she suggested, you know that we sit outside

0:56

because it was a really really nice day.

0:58

It was cool.

0:58

We had a really great conversation and she's

1:00

got her head on her shoulders, you.

1:02

Know, in the right way.

1:04

You know how a lot of people they

1:06

focus too much on like social media and stuff,

1:08

you know what I mean, they saying about everything like their

1:10

job, and that's

1:12

I'm not I'm not trying.

1:13

To meet anybody like that, you know. But

1:16

she really loves her job. She's got a really good job. She

1:18

works up and she's

1:21

got goals, which is always a good thing, you

1:23

know what I mean. Yeahs like like

1:25

a five year plan.

1:26

That's you know, that's that's important, and

1:29

that's something that I was I really thought we hit it

1:31

off on on that level. And

1:33

uh, you know, the food is great and

1:35

the hobby option is great.

1:37

You know. So I really can't

1:39

really think off the top of my head.

1:41

Of why after such a nice date that,

1:43

you know, I just she just stopped communicating with

1:46

me, Like I can't say that we stopped communicating.

1:48

I'm so you know, trying to reach out.

1:49

You know, but

1:52

there's nothing on the other end. Well, was there

1:54

anything awkward that happened on the date at all that

1:56

you can think of?

1:57

I don't know if it's anything I did.

1:59

I mean, I'm thinking maybe she didn't like the

2:01

restaurant even though it was great, you know, but

2:04

I picked it.

2:04

That might have been something. I

2:07

will admit. The service wasn't the best.

2:09

You know, we wanted to sit outside

2:11

like that she suggested it, but then they sat as where the suns

2:14

like directly in our faces, you know,

2:16

so I had to ask them to move us. And

2:19

maybe, like because the service

2:21

wasn't so great, I think maybe like

2:24

the way, you know, I can be a little assertive

2:26

when I you know, when when the situation calls for it.

2:28

And maybe that's part of the reason why.

2:31

After like the second time that I had to ask

2:34

to be moved to get somebody's attention, that

2:36

might be, you know. Other than that, we

2:39

talked for a while. We

2:41

watched you know, the sun go down. It was

2:43

really really cool, you know. And again we had a

2:45

lot in common, and you know, we had you know, we had

2:47

we talked about goals. That was always really good.

2:49

You know.

2:50

So like after you were being assertive, she didn't seem

2:52

to change her on my quote unquote

2:54

assertive.

2:56

She didn't change her demeanor. Do you feel like she kind

2:58

of was like, what are you doing?

3:01

No, I mean, in the moment, I can't I don't

3:03

remember any disagreement

3:06

I'm going to say, no.

3:07

You sound really really nice. So I'm having a hard

3:09

time picturing that, Like what did that sound like?

3:11

Do you mind like pretending for a second?

3:14

Well, no, because it's like, you know, excuse

3:16

me.

3:16

You know, I don't know if you remember the old Bug

3:19

Bunny cartoon where he's trying to see an other animal's

3:21

attention. He's like, hey, all the animals

3:24

are just running. He's trying to figure out what's going on, you know, And

3:26

then finally I was like, hey, excuse me for a second,

3:28

you know. Okay, I

3:31

didn't like raise my voice or anything, but I definitely had to

3:33

like get up and go talk to somebody.

3:36

Yeah, very very tame. That's what I was trying

3:38

to figure out. Like, it wasn't an excusemer.

3:41

No, I'm not going to do that. That's inappropriate.

3:43

Did you guys kiss or anything?

3:45

No? No, I didn't hug.

3:48

I don't really make any moves in that direction.

3:51

It was a nice little hug at the.

3:52

End, Okay, not like a side

3:54

hug.

3:56

No, it wasn't.

3:56

No, I wasn't like a sidehug, but it was very brief,

3:59

like oh, thank you very much, A little pack.

4:00

Of a cheek. That was it?

4:02

Well, plus song come back and then call her Seash

4:04

tell us why she's ghosting you, and maybe get you another

4:06

date. Okay, okay, great, all right, well

4:08

plus song come back? You get your first a follow

4:10

up next. Right in the middle of the first day follow

4:12

up. If you're just joining us, Teddy is on the phone

4:14

and he's getting ghosted by Maya, So we're about

4:17

to call her Sosha, tell us why she's ghosting

4:19

him, and maybe get him another date. But first, Teddy,

4:21

why don't you refresh everybody's memory on your

4:23

date with Maya?

4:24

No, we met online, We talked for

4:26

a while.

4:27

We went on a really nice date

4:30

at dinner and

4:32

talk for a while, and I

4:34

thought.

4:35

Everything was going great.

4:36

And I haven't been able to get a touch

4:38

here since you ready for us to call her?

4:41

Please?

4:41

Yeah, okay, here we go, I

4:55

may I speak to Maya. Please. This is

4:58

che Hey Maya.

4:59

How are you?

4:59

My name is Jewbell and this is a radio

5:01

show. It's called the Jebel Show. Hi, Maya, the whole

5:03

show's here. My name is Nina Hi, and I'm Victoria.

5:06

Hi cool.

5:09

How are you?

5:10

I'm good?

5:10

How are you? I'm wonderful. Thank you for asking.

5:13

Well, we're calling you today because we do a segment on

5:15

the show. It's called the first Date follow Up. What that

5:17

is is if you go out on a date with somebody and

5:20

then you ghost them, that person can email us to

5:22

call you and ask why you're ghosting them.

5:25

Okay, that makes me nervous.

5:28

Are you ghosting somebody?

5:31

I guess like kin and I

5:34

feel like I remember, this is maybe about

5:36

a guess. Teddy,

5:40

you're correct.

5:42

Congratulations, you got it right. You don't get any

5:44

price for that, but yes, it's Teddy. Would

5:46

you mind telling us why you're ghosting him?

5:49

Uh? Well, so we So

5:52

I met him online and I had

5:54

when I was when I was online.

5:55

And I was like going to the app or whatever. A

5:58

friend of mine was with me,

6:01

a girlfriend, and she noticed him

6:03

actually, and she.

6:04

Was like, oh, I know exactly who

6:06

that is, and she was telling me all about him.

6:08

She like mentioned that he was kind

6:10

of a tool and that like, I

6:13

don't know, like dating him is kind of just

6:15

so bad.

6:16

Dating him is kind of like getting

6:18

a like a loan at a bank.

6:21

And so for some reason that

6:24

really meant that I was kind of intrigued

6:26

and I was like, I want to see if this guy is really

6:28

like that.

6:29

Maybe he's totally not and it'll

6:31

be great. So I ended up we.

6:33

Ended up going on the date, and

6:36

I just like the whole time he was complaining about

6:38

things and like making kind of like a fuss

6:41

about things, Like we were sitting outside and

6:43

the sun was like on our table

6:45

and he like made us move,

6:47

and I just I didn't really mindn't really like

6:49

totally care. And it was like super

6:51

busy in our restaurant too, because like this was kind

6:54

of like uncomfortable. And

6:57

then when we started talking, he only

7:00

asked me about my career and like how

7:02

my lifestyle is and stuff like that, and I just

7:04

felt like I was like, don't you actually

7:06

want to get to know me? Like it kind of felt like he had

7:08

already like made up his mind, like he's like I could date

7:10

her and let

7:12

me just see how it fits into my life that like what's

7:15

exactly she Like. I just felt like I had like

7:17

no say in it, And I was like, Okay, this was kind

7:19

of strange.

7:20

Don't we want somebody that wants to date

7:22

us?

7:26

You know?

7:26

Of course, of course, I think it was just

7:28

that he didn't really ask me about any of my

7:30

hobbies. He didn't ask me about like anything

7:32

that I like. He was just like, what's your

7:34

job? Like do you make

7:36

enough money to like support yourself?

7:38

Like what what do you do?

7:40

Like?

7:41

You know what I mean? Like it was very like I

7:43

just feel like I was in a job interview or something.

7:45

Those are kind of weird questions, especially on a first

7:47

date.

7:48

There's ways to get those answers without asking that

7:50

question, by the way,

7:52

you'd like to learn, But.

7:56

Well, guess what maya what?

7:59

It's not easy easy thing because Teddy's actually

8:01

on the phone and has been listening this whole time,

8:03

wants to talk to about.

8:08

I don't really know how much I want to

8:10

have this conversation.

8:11

Now. That's that's super

8:13

messed up.

8:13

You know that, you know, you and your friends are making fun

8:15

of me, and that's that's really

8:17

what's wrong with these apps. Instead of trying to get

8:20

to know someone or or share a you

8:22

know, like anything proper,

8:25

it's just, oh, let me go see what this person is

8:27

like really about with a you know, with

8:29

a with an agenda that you don't even like articulate.

8:31

You know, there wasn't like a vet

8:33

or anything. I was just genuinely curious.

8:36

You're genuinely curious, and you could have just asked

8:38

that before we went out, all

8:40

of the questions that saying that we were talking

8:42

about.

8:43

You could have asked me about me before we went

8:45

out.

8:45

You could have actually just said, Hey, I spoke to

8:47

my friend, do you know whatever whoever your

8:49

friend was, and we you know, we could have had this conversation

8:51

and just avoided all that whole thing.

8:53

It's just a little on the ridiculous side,

8:55

you know, And that's that's a problem.

8:59

Anything that you would have acted probably

9:01

like like a different way, and then I would have not

9:03

actually known who the real you is.

9:05

Like I just think that that's a silly thing.

9:07

I just I went on the date, I like tried

9:09

to get to know you a little bit, and you

9:11

did not care about anything I had to say. You

9:13

just cared about like the way I like was

9:16

in my life, like how I.

9:17

Fit into your life. And I just think that that's

9:19

a silly reason.

9:21

I don't know about other people online.

9:22

I'm definitely me twenty four hours

9:25

a day, seven days a week. So if

9:27

you would have asked me, we could have you know, we could have

9:29

avoided that. All you had to do was ask me about my experience

9:32

with your friend. And if I could have remembered your

9:34

friend, I would have told you exactly what you know, what I

9:36

felt. But when I meet with somebody, when I meet

9:39

anyone, you know, I'm very straightforward

9:41

about you know, what's important

9:43

to me. And I think that we know,

9:45

what we talked about was really cool, and I thought we had actually,

9:47

you know, thought we had a cool vibe.

9:49

Now I don't know how differ it was. You know how much

9:51

that was you you you.

9:52

Know, I mean it was all me.

9:54

I just I just expected.

9:58

I mean I could have actually been a little bit more and

10:00

stuff. But you didn't ask me anything about me as

10:02

a person, So I

10:04

you got what she asked for. I mean you asked

10:07

me. It felt like I was in a job interview, Like I just

10:09

don't get it.

10:11

Well when you when you say job interview, if you're gonna,

10:13

you know, meet someone and

10:15

you want to know if you're compatible, you would

10:17

ask questions. And

10:20

for me, I'm I'm a person who does a lot of I'm

10:22

very serious about.

10:23

Work and goals and meeting

10:25

my goals.

10:26

So I just wanted to make sure that I was, you know, on

10:28

the same page as somebody who had, you know, goals.

10:30

I mean, do you even have any type of goals? Or

10:32

was that all just stuff that you were saying?

10:35

Of course I have, sous. It's like a silly,

10:37

silly thing to say, you know.

10:38

I just I just expected

10:40

you to give a little bit more of a crap

10:42

about like who I am as a person, and all

10:45

those other things that you're asking of me would have

10:47

came naturally, they would have come out. You

10:49

could have like just been a little bit more like,

10:51

I don't know, like swab about it or something.

10:54

Because it did not go well, Well,

10:56

tell me one thing that I said about myself

10:58

on the day. Tell me because if if it was good,

11:01

then you should know this, right.

11:03

Yeah, but that's not the point.

11:07

All right now.

11:09

You know, Hey, Maya,

11:11

would you like another date with Teddy?

11:13

We'll pay for it.

11:14

No, thank you, I'm sorry.

11:17

I don't want to go out with you again. I get I get it.

11:19

You know, they just just have fun on your

11:21

apps.

11:21

Maybe you can meet somebody that you're not going

11:23

to be playing games with from the beginning.

11:26

Okay, Teddy, well, you have fun playing games with

11:28

yourself.

11:32

Ju Will's first day follow up
