First Date follow Up powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys
online at Advocatesla dot com. Amanda is on the phone
today for a first day follow up and she's getting
ghosted by a guy named Kyle. So in a few minutes,
we're gonna call him and see if he'll tell us
why he's ghosting her and maybe get her a second date.
But first, Amanda, how long is it vinces your from Kyle? Hi?

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Guys, it's been a few weeks.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Now, Okay, that's a good amount of time.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
What is it about Kylie you want to get a
hold of so bad?

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Oh my goodness, It's like it's really rare. I think
that you meet someone Mike Kyle. We had this lumly
first date and really just lovely connection, and I think
it would be a real shame if we don't reconnect
him that way. I don't know, it's just something felt
really right.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
What felt so right that you just don't want to
kind of move on to the next person?

Speaker 2 (00:49):
I mean, okay, is it helpful to just explain everything
that went down? Yeah? Okay, So I don't date very much.
I'm a single parent, but I met him at this
basketball game our kids are are little, they're like five,
and they're in this little basketball league. And you know,
we were there on a Saturday and we're both cheering

(01:10):
and we ended up just sort of bonding and talking
about being single parents and just then a general chaos
of life. And he just he's so charming. I wanted
a bet of three guys, but he really is. We
just totally hit it off. And then, you know, nobody
who asked somebody out anymore, like in person, like when
does that happen? But he tasked me out to dinner
and was like, you know, when we don't have the kids,

(01:31):
let's go out. And that's a huge step for me,
Like I haven't been out at all since my ex husband,
and so I was pretty special, and I mean he
planned the whole date, total gentleman about it. He took
me to a steakhouse which is kind of fancy, and
we were we just had a great conversation. We were
talking at one point and I was like talking so
much that I blew the little like tea light candle

(01:53):
out in front of us, and he was like, hold on,
and he got up and he's got another one, which
was so cute. Yeah, and he knows a lot about
wine and he's just very cultured in that way, and
so he picked a great wine for us and just
felt like a real instant connection. A lot of laughing
there was also so random, but maybe not random. He's
good at planning dates, I guess. But there was like
a band that played. It was a very old school vibe,

(02:16):
and we ordered dessert and that was nice enough for me,
but he literally grabbed my hands and we started dancing
wow to the live music, and you know, we had
a few glasses. Was line at that point. But the
wine was great and the music was great, and it
was such a great night, and I really loved how
I felt when I was with him.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
It's romantic. I mean, it sounds like an excellent day.
Do we know he's single? He said he has a kid.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
I mean, one of the benefits of the Little League,
so to speak, that we're all a part of is
that I definitely have read it with other parents that
he was single. Yeah, you know, there was just some
crattling and kissing on that first date, and I thought, Okay,
so they're definitely going to do this again.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
So why do you think he might be ghosting?

Speaker 2 (02:58):
You know? I mean I thought a lot about it,
and really only like a couple of things. I mean,
you know, everybody has their insecurities, Like I definitely I'm like, oh,
you know, maybe he wasn't attracted to me, or any
of those things have gone through my head. But the
big one is, oh, man, I can't believe him saying
this on the radio. But I reached over and I
cut his steak for him at the stake, like I
instinctively went to cut the steak at the steakout. Wow.

(03:21):
And I just it was just course of habit, you know,
I have a little one and I when I pulled back,
I was like, oh, sorry, I'm a virgin. And it
was totally a joke I was.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
I just was like, oh, I'm a virgin, Sorry about that,
Like I'm new to this, you know, Madonna would call me.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
I feel like a virgin again, Like I'm very like
new to this again.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
I don't know if I would ghost you over that,
you know.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yeah, we laughed it off. I don't think it's ghosting material,
but I.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Mean I hope not.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
He might have been alarmed though by somebody reaching over
to touch his steak, But I used to hang out
this couple and she would kind of mistake every single
time they went out.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Like he'd wait to eat. Recently, it huh, it was weird.
Amanda is on the phone and she's getting ghosted buy Kyle.
So we're about to call him and see if you'll
tell us why he's ghostinger and maybe get her a
second date. But first, Amanda, why don't you break down
your date with Kyle one more time for us real
quick before we call him.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah. I met this guy at our kids basketball game.
He took me out for dinner. It was super nice.
It's been a couple of weeks and I texted him.
I literally saw him after the next basketball game and
he like rushed away and it was super weird. So yeah,
we just love to know what happened and what I did.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Okay, well, are you ready for us to call him?

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:40):
I guess so, all right, here we go. Hi, speak
to Kyle. Please speak? Hey Kyle, how are you? This
is a radio show. It's called The Jubil Show.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Hi.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
I'm Victoria and my name is I'm Okay not much.
Have you ever heard the show before?

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (05:09):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Great, Well, Kyle, we got an email about you from somebody.
That's why we're on the phone. Ok So, I don't
know if you've heard the segment that we do the
first eight follow up where if you get ghosted, you
can email us and we'll call the person who ghosted
you and ask why they're ghosting.

Speaker 5 (05:28):
Oh wow, okay, so it's just about Amanda.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
We talked to Amanda a little bit about your date.
She said that you were very romantic awesome actually yea,
but says that you're not calling her back and she
doesn't know why. Can you tell us?

Speaker 5 (05:47):
Oh boy? Okay, so our kids play in the same
basketball league together. I'm sure you know she probably uh right.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, we went out.

Speaker 5 (06:01):
It was a lovely time. It was really nice and uh,
you know, I just, uh, I'm looking for something different.
I'm a single dad and I want to have fun
and she just uh and here she's a great mom,
but my kids got a mom and I kind of
just want a girlfriend. And she's uh, I just noticed
she was sort of in mom mode all the time.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
What does that mean?

Speaker 5 (06:22):
Okay, Well, she's really caring, she's really affectionate. I had
a really good time, but uh, she just can't cut loose.
She's very Uh, well, she was kind of high strung
and well, to be honest, I wound up going out
with one of the other women from the basketball league.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Oh hey, Kyle, that's Amanda. Yeah, she's actually on I
don't know if you remember these or not, but she's
on the phone and wants to talk to you. And
obviously it's curious about who you are now with.

Speaker 5 (06:51):
Oh yeah, no, I uh, I forgot.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
I Hi. Wait, sorry, you know I've been better. You're
noticing me because I'm too much of a mom. Is
that like, is that what we're going with here?

Speaker 4 (07:12):
No?

Speaker 5 (07:13):
Look, okay, yeah, no, you're really sweet. I just uh,
I'm not really dating to find a partner right now.
I'm just dating to have fun.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
And you know, I.

Speaker 5 (07:23):
Think it's awesome. I think you're you're a great parent,
but I really just need a girlfriend. And uh, you know,
I'm right there.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
I want someone to take shots and you know, forget
their responsibility, forget their kids. And yeah, no, that makes
total sense. I was like a mom.

Speaker 5 (07:40):
No, no, no, no, I I can relax, I can
have a good time. I can be a dad and
I can just be a man. And you know, you're
just you're a mom, and that's awesome, but I need
a woman who's more than just you know, just one thing.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
That's so Kyle, you're a dad, like I have to
remind you of that you were a dad. You were
a parent too.

Speaker 5 (08:05):
Okay, Look, I can go out, I can have fun
with people, and I don't need to just be a
dad all the time. I look, sweetheart, I contain multitudes, right,
I'm a woman who does that too.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
I don't think you can say sweetheart like that and
then say I can be a dad and a man too.
I mean, aren't you a dad all the time. You're
a mom all the time if you have children. But
I understand what you mean by being able to separate
being a person, but I don't know that that's really
what you're saying. You're saying you just kind of want
somebody reckless. Has nothing to do with it.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Not reckless.

Speaker 5 (08:35):
I mean, what I care about my kids, I think
you know it's not about that. But if I'm going
out with a woman, I I don't want to just
talk about kids stuff all the time. And I mean,
it was kind of weird to try to cut my
food up for me.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Who did you go out with? Can you just tell
me that Lisa, sorry, Lisa, two year old referee at
the basketball games. She's literally not that makes perfect sense.

Speaker 5 (09:08):
Okay, cool, yeah, okay.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
So clearly you're just you're a dad who wants to
date somebody who's like basically your daughter.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Kyle, would you like to go out with a Manday
again on a second date? We'll pay for it.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
Oh wow, Uh sounds very very tempting. No, you guys,
why don't you guys all go out together? That sounds
like a good time, it does. Yeah, well, thanks thanks
for calling. I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, and you have fun being the oldest man at
an EDM show Coming
