Speaker 1 (00:00):
First Date follow Up powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys
online at ADJUSLA dot com.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Lesha is on the phone today for a first day
follow up, and she's getting ghosted by a guy named James.
So in a second we're gonna call him and see
if you'll tell us why he's a ghostinger and maybe
get her another date. But first, Lesia, how long has
it been since you heard from James.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Yeah, it's been about a week.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
And then how many times have you reached out to
him in that time?

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Yeah, like kind of a bunch. I was, uh, you know,
I was texting a bunch. You know, we had a
great connection and you know, you know, I was trying
to get together, and you know I texted a few times,
and you know, we had a plan. He canceled. We
felt like he needed the weekend to recover. I offered
to make him soup wish he declined, and I, you know,

(00:48):
and then after that I texted him a couple of times.
You know, he's feeling and like nothing.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
So, did your date happen or this was after the date? No?

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Well, well we had our first date, okay, okay, but
then after that nothing happened.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Okay, we'll tell us about the date.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Well, we met Unhinge first of all, and like we
talked a little bit, and we wanted to go out
because we both like really like food and travel and stuff.
And he's in a band and I used to sing
in a band, so we had like a lot of
great connections. And so we met for cocktails and we
like bounced around and got tacos and ended up at
this like karaoke place, which was really fun. After karaoke,

(01:28):
we went back to his place and we were hanging
out and like cuddling and stuff. But we did look up,
but there was like a lot of like affection myself.
And in the morning we kissed and like we crammed
on seeing each other again like the next weekend. So
that was the date.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Is there anything that happened on the date that could
have been awkward or something that would cause him to
not want to talk to you again?

Speaker 4 (01:52):
So I talked this over a bit, and I think
there might have been which I like want to apologize for,
and like I've been feeling bad about it.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
So like when we were like hanging out and cuddling,
he like pulls out his phone to play me like
a rough edit of his band's new song, and I
was excited to hear it. I was glad he wanted
to share it with me. And you know, because I
was on the music background, I didn't feel like I
knew hold back what I thought, you know, So I
mean I told him, I was like, I think this

(02:21):
is like a great idea for a song. I said,
like some of the lyrics were a little cheesy, and
you know, his voice was a little picky and certain points,
and like one of the lyrics in particular was like
about her love being like a sugar rush eating a
box of Kristy cream or something.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Okay, I like laughed at that, and.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Then I kept like asking him if I made him
feel like he was eating a box of Krispy cream.
And I thought it was funny, like I was joking,
and like I think I may have crushed him. I
don't know, maybe I took it too far. So I
feel he's apologize. Yeah, but I mean.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
It sounds like you were being more playful.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah. No, I was just saying, like that's how I felt,
like that's what the intention was.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Ju Will you are doing.

Speaker 5 (03:05):
Music now too, so like think about this scenario wouldn't
it be just kind of cute.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Like, you're not are you going to be offended? No,
I wouldn't be.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
I'm also a super harsh critic on myself, so I'd
be like, you're right, the whole thing is crap.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
I'll throw it out, You're my all over, I quit
it all.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
So I would just totally be like, yeah, thanks for
the honest feedback I saw.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
That would also be a major turnoff and problem. Also, Okay,
so maybe maybe he was a little but hurt.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Maybe, I mean it might be.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
So I feel like, I don't know. I feel like
we need to get him on the phone. You need
to get a third party and to get him on
the phone's phone because he's just ghosting me so like
and I just want to apologize.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Well, we'll try to figure it out for you.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
We'll play a song and we'll come back, and then
we'll call him and see if it tell us why
he's ghosting you and maybe get you another date with.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Krispy Kreme boy. Okay, all right, should we not call
him Krispy Crean boy? He disappeared?

Speaker 2 (04:00):
All right, Well, if las'll come back and get your
first a follow up next right in the middle of
our first date. Follow up if you're just joining us.
Lisha is on the phone and she's getting ghosted by
a guy named James. So we're about to call him
and see if you'll tell us why he is ghostinger
and maybe get her another date. But first, Lisha, why
don't you catch us up on your situation.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, so, I when I had a date with this
guy James, it like went really well. We had cocktails
and tacos, and we did karaoke and all this stuff,
and you know, we bonded because he's in a band
and I used to sing in a band, and you know,
we have a lot of common interests. And I feel
like and he hasn't tested me back in a week,

(04:38):
so and I feel like something might have gone wrong
the night we were on the date. I feel like
I might have kind of heard his feelings making fun
of one of his lyrics which involves Krispy Kreme, which
I kept springing up. No, I don't know. I feel
like I might have sent him and I need to apologize.
And also he's ghosting me. So that's where we are.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
All right, are you ready for us to call him?

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Sure?

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Okay, here we go. Hello, him. I speaking to James. Please, yeah,

You know, that's a segment where if you're ghosting somebody,
they can email us and then ask us to call
you and ask why you're ghosting them. Somebody emailed us
about you, James, Oh boy, any idea who would be?

Speaker 6 (05:53):

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (06:02):
Yeah, Lisha?

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Oh yeah yeah. Well Lisia emailed us and told us
about your day. She said she really liked you, but
she's confused. Can you tell us why you're ghostinger?

Speaker 6 (06:13):
I really liked her, but man, she's too much. She
texted me on Saturday to ask about Well, first of all,
I got sick, right, so like I got sick a
little bit afterwards, but not the RNA nothing, but like,
you know, she texted me on Saturday to ask me
about soup, and then again to tell me good night

(06:34):
and then text me a list of vitamins I.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Should be taking because you were sick. Yeah, you know,
it was.

Speaker 6 (06:41):
Like it was like a trip or a DoorDash GNC.
You know, the whole bag falling, and then like not.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
Soon after asking if I missed her.

Speaker 6 (06:53):
But this this whole thing about like if I wanted
Krispy Kremes, Like, ask me if I wanted Krispy Kreme.
It's a it's a joke about some stupid lyric I made,
and and and I mean just more texts, on and
on and on. I'm not even giving you all that.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
Was all in one day. That happened all on the
same day.

Speaker 6 (07:09):
Yeah, and this is someone I had just talked to online.
They came over, we cuddled, I mean, the sweet it
was great, you know, don't get me wrong, But after
all this just pile it on and just stopping so
soon I just stopped responding because like I needed to
rest and I wake up and it was like, I

(07:32):
mean I lose like twelve text messages from her. I
don't respond, but I get even more the next day. Eventually,
I just I just block her because I feel like
that kind of energy I felt it gives me a
lot of anxiety, like and I'm gonna go with the
flow kind of guy. And when it just gets thraw r,

(07:52):
it's like, first off, it doesn't know, we feel better,
but then it's like, this is someone I just met,
sweet girl. I mean, she came over, it was great,
That day was amazing, Karaoke was fun, and yeah, like
we talked that it was going to turn into something.
But then the text, just the messaging, it was just nah, nah,

(08:13):
it was just a note going.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
I mean, it sounds like she was just concerned because
you were sick.

Speaker 5 (08:17):
Now, granted, twelve and maybe twenty four text messages might
be a lot in two days, but the initial reachhout
probably was kind of nice.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Though.

Speaker 6 (08:26):
No, I mean, I get it, she's very sweet, but
it's just someone I just started talking to online and
it just started giving me the vibe that this is
the kind of person that's going to give me a
whole lot of anxiety.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
I don't.

Speaker 6 (08:39):
I just wanted peace.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Okay, Well, speaking of peace, James, I will let you
know that Lisa's actually on the phone listening and wants
to talk to you.

Speaker 6 (08:47):
Yeah. Hi, oh hi, Lisa.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Do you have a problem getting close to people like you?
Not act everyone cares about you? Like I was just
trying to show you that I cared And I'm like
actually a good caretaker in like times like this.

Speaker 6 (09:04):
I get it. But it's just we just had one
date after a little bit of online conversation, and I
just feel Look, you're sweet, wonderful, but I just feel
that we're nowhere close to the come over and make
me soup stage of this relationship.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Okay, Well, you said on your hind that you wanted
to be intentional about the time we spend together and
to prioritize the growth, and I feel like I was
doing that. So I don't know what there is about
this that you don't you wouldn't like, can.

Speaker 6 (09:38):
We go further than or can we have a relationship first?
Can we like have some other There's there's steps to
this before.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Okay, wait, wait, I'm not ready to be in a
relationship with you.

Speaker 6 (09:51):
Oh look, that's that's that's not what I said. Okay,
that's that's not what I said. It's I feel there's
a little miscommunication here.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Well, I mean, I'm not well, you just mentioned wanting
to have a relationship first, Like you talk about me
texting a lot, and you're already talking about a relationship.
So I don't know what the problem is with my
texting when you're like, I want a relationship right now.

Speaker 6 (10:16):
What. No, I'm not I'm not saying right now. It's
just that I just don't want to jump into things
that just lead to anxiety. And just like already we're
checking each other's mental health. Like I'm just trying to
just go go with the vibe that we had that
was that was real good. It just felt like this
was this was just in a different place, and I

(10:37):
was just like, I don't want to grow with this.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
You are living way too fast, James.

Speaker 6 (10:45):
Look, I just I just I'm I'm all for like
all those texts in the soup, but I just feel
that there's there's just a sequence to it that just
you know, rocks my boat a certain way. And and
like I'm sorry for or for miscommunicating or or like
you know, just going outside the vibe that we had,
and I just feel I just feel like we want

(11:06):
the wrong direction with that.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
Well, James, would you like another date with Lisa?

Speaker 4 (11:11):
We'll pay for it, James, I just so you know,
I will go on another date with you, but I
just want to let you know, like I'm not gonna
get together with you right now, just so you know.

Speaker 6 (11:23):
Yeah, So, like I said, I'm not interested in rushing
in and getting together right now. I'm sorry about the miscommunication,
but I'm willing to give this another go, just as
long as you don't mention the Krispy Kremes.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Okay, but we're not going to be like dating yet,
Like this is just a date date, not like a
dating date.

Speaker 6 (11:46):
Look, don't worry, I'm not trying to wipe you up
just yet.

Wait a minute, you want to wipe me up?

Speaker 4 (11:52):

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero.
