It’s a holiday edition of First Date Follow Up, as part of the 12 First Date Follow Ups of Christmas, voted on by you! Brandon thought his date with Caitlin was near-perfect—pizza, drinks, laughs, and even a kiss to end the night. So why did she suddenly go silent? 👻

place and pretty cool that let you build your own
pizza and put your own toppings and stuff, and you
get to be you know, creative with with your with
your pie, and uh, that's that's all cool.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
But I'm you know, I'm really more of just like
a pepperoni guy. So I just did that. But Caitlin,
she actually convinced me to try some proto on a pizza,
and I gotta hands her it was. It was delicious.
I didn't know what I've been missing out on.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
You rolled yours when you ordered that, I did.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Okay, I got to throw it a little bit.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I love Italian so anytime I can say no, it was.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
It was great, so good. They were like, well, let's
just keep this going.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
We grabbed a nightcap, got some wine at a place
next door. Fortunate enough, Kitlin loves a good whiskey too,
so I treated her to an excellent Japanese whiskey, and uh,
that open the door to talking about travel and our
hopes and dreams.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
And places we've been, places we'd like to go.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
So then after that I walked her home and actually
ended the night with a kiss.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
It was I guess it was a little awkward, but
it was awkward.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Well you just like I went in to kiss her,
kiss her sheep, and then like she turned and I
ended up like kissing her lips, and it was it
was kind of an awkward slash funny moment but cool
and okay, like.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
One of those weird first Guss moments where it's like
some you're kind of kind of dancing trying to figure
out where you're supposed to go with it.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah, yeah, like it was.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
It was kind of like funny moment, but I mean
it turned into kind of a passionate kiss, and and
we planned to see each other afterwards.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Okay, that's good, but she hasn't gone back to you.
What do you think? What do you think the reason
is she's goosed to.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
That's That's the thing.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I don't know, Like, like, we had a great day,
you know, Pia was great, the drinks afterwards were great.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
You know.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
The kiss, although awkward, was kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
And she didn't seem put off by it.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
You know, she actually leaned into the kiss afterwards, so
like it seemed like everything was happening.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
But then I don't know, I mean, you know how
you seem.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
To go like any anything could have happened here in
the night that she might have just sound disgusting or
off putting, and then just didn't want to make it awkward.
I don't know, I'm kind of I've never been ghosted,
so I'm just got I have all these questions with God.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
We're just joining us for today's first Day follow up,
but Brandon is on the phone and he's getting ghosted
by Caitlin. So we're about to call her and see
if she'll tell us why she's ghosting him and see
if we can get him another date. But first, Brandon,
before we call her, why don't you refresh our memory
on your date with Kaitlin.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
So Kyl and I went on a date set up
by mutual friends. We had pizza and wine and that
was great, build her own, and then we went out
for drinks afterwards, a great conversation, and I walked her
home and we ended up kissing and it was great,
and then she was excited to seemingly excited dissing me again.
(04:11):
But after that, it's just been not it's been no
communication and you have no idea why. Yeah, nothing, I'm
it's kind of disappointing.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
So I really liked her. I thought we had great
chemistry and it seemed to be mutual. So yeah, I'd
be really bummed if it didn't work out.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, Well, are you ready for us to call her?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
All right, here we go, Hio. Hi, man sweet to Caitlin.
Please Kaitlin. Hey, how are you? My name is Jewbell.
(04:53):
I'm calling from a radio show. It's called The Jewbill Show. Hi, Caitlin,
We're all here. I'm Nina also on the show. Hi,
and I'm Victoria.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Hi, what's going on? What's not much?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Why are you calling me?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Have you ever listened to the show before?
Speaker 4 (05:09):
No?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I'm sorry, that's okay.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
You don't have to apologize. Maybe you will know that's we're
calling you. We do a segment on the show it's
called the First Date follow Up. That's where if you
go on a date with someone and then you ghost them,
that person can email us and ask us to call
you and see if we can figure out why you're
ghosting them. So we got an email about you from
somebody that you went on a date with. Oh are
you hosting somebody?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Well?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
You are, but do you know who it is? Is it? Yes?
Brandon emailed us and told us a little bit about
your date, and he said he really likes you and
he thought you were into him. So he's confused as
to why you're ghosting him? Do you mind telling us?
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Well, I did really like him. Okay, she's hot and
smart and kind of awkward. It's actually kind of charming.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
So you liked him, but you're ghosting him.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Well, he texted me something after our date that I
just like haven't been able to get over.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I didn't really know what to do with it.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Well, was it a picture or something?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Oh no, no, god, no, I mean that happens. I
think he's a good guy.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
What did he text you?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Okay, let me let me find it. Uh, Okay.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
The text says your magic and have awakened parts of
my body that I have never felt before. It's like
on the line, you know, Like I don't. That's just
that's a lot after one date and kiss, and like,
(06:45):
I don't know if he's like in a Shakespeare play,
Like is he taking himself seriously? When he said that,
I kind of was expecting another text that was like,
you know, harks their maiden. I longed for another evening
of your presence.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Or something like that.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
You know, I could have been funny. You know, there's
some people out there that believe in love at first sight.
So if they're laying. I don't think that could be
a good thing.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
It was so earnest, and it just kind of felt
like too much. And I think he hasn't been in
a relationship in a while, and so I was afraid
he was in like this romantic, dreamy bubble and I
got to be with someone who's been the world that
I'm living in, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
So it just hits you like a little bit too much.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
It just felt a little I mean, how is that possible?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Like I'm just a person, give yourself a little bit magic,
but like I've awakened parts of his body.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
They never felt.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
It was a little overwhelming to me, Okay.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
And then I don't know if I'm like on a pedestal.
I just it just made me a little nervous.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Okay, all right, Well, thank you for telling us that.
Now I got to let you know that Brandon is
on the phone and has been listening. Wis his hawks on?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Okay, Park, sir Maiden, Yes I can tail. Well, I
had dreamt of this pleasure of occasion.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
To you.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Again, Hi, Park, I'm sorry I just put your business
out on the radio, but you didn't have them call
me so.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
No, that's that's quite all right.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
What parts of the body were awakened? Brandon?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I mean, I'd rather not discuss that. I think people understand.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
That was pretty bold of you. Brandon. What was going
on through your mind when you sent that text?
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I don't know I was awakened. Well, I'm just I'm
a playful guy. But Cayle, I just want to assure
you that I do live in a reality and after
our date, I was like, legit, I've never felt that way,
and after my last.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Relationship, I just that was lacking and I.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Want another date and I want to be a part
of your reality.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Oh maybe I'm over the top, but this is how
I was feeling, honestly.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Well, Caitlin, would you like another date with Brandon? We'll
pay for it?
Speaker 2 (09:22):

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Oh see Shakespeare's got congratulations Brandon, you did it. You
got another day?
Speaker 2 (09:31):

I mean I like that he has a good attitude
and and could laugh at this, and I appreciate that
we're more on the same page than I thought, Kaylen.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
And I can't say how excited I am. And I promise.
