Lucy & Josh: She Dropped This Bombshell on the First Date… Then He Vanished 👀

What started as a movie-level meet-cute quickly spirals into one of the most jaw-dropping First Date Follow Ups we’ve ever had. Lucy thought she found an instant connection after a magical Vegas meeting turned real-world romance — great chemistry, nonstop texting, fairy lights, hand-holding… the whole vibe ✨

But when Lucy finally reveals one crucial detail about her life, Josh’s reaction is immediate — and then total silence. Two weeks later, she’s desperate for answers, and we put him on the spot. What follows is an unfiltered, uncomfortable, and wildly unexpected conversation about love, honesty, marriage, open relationships, and what monogamous really means.

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

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Lucy is on the phone today for a first day
follow up and she's getting ghosted by a dude named Josh.
So in a few minutes we'll call him and see
if he'll tell us why he's ghosting her and maybe
get her a second date. But first, Lucy, how long
has it been since you heard from Josh?

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Hey, yeah, it's been about two weeks, A.

Speaker 4 (00:23):
Good amount of time.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Yeah, I mean, I feel like we had such a
good vibe and connection. I can't let this go. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
Did you try to get a hold of him in
that time? Oh?

Speaker 3 (00:34):
I definitely have. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (00:36):
Okay, when was the last time you reached out?

Speaker 3 (00:40):
I actually reached out yesterday. Then I'm a text but yeah,
I haven't heard anything from them.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
Okay, we'll tell us about the date.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Well, okay, I know it sounds really wild, but it
honestly felt like it might be something from out of
a movie. That's how like magical it felt. We met
in Vegas, and I don't know, we just had a
really great time. It felt like otherworldly. It was I
don't know, I just felt like the universe kind of
put us together, and he made me laugh. Like immediately

(01:15):
I felt like disconnected to him, and we just like
we saw each other at the flat machine and just
had a great conversation. And then he got my number
and we text NonStop, and when I got back home,
he actually asked me out on a real date. And
I didn't even let him finish the sentence, like I

(01:36):
was like, yes.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yes, so you guys live in the same city. How amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
I know, it really felt like it was meant to be.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
Yeah, that's cool.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah. So so we ended up going to this really
like vibe wine bar with fairy lights and and we
shared like a sarcuterie board and like held hands the
whole time, and I don't know, like it really just
felt like we were falling in love. I know that
sounds crazy, but it was just it was.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Amazing, okay, and he was feeling the same way you think.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Oh my goodness, yeah, like I felt like we were
so connected. We were like I don't know, it was
just it was it was awesome. He definitely was into me.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Okay, Well, then what happened, Like, was there anything off
at the end of the day or even during the date,
I guess.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah, so I thought everything was going well and I
felt really like I wanted to be open and honest
with him, and so towards the end of the date,
I told him that I'm technically married. Oh yeah, but
like I'm I'm really working on opening things up with
my husband.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
And did you say opening things up with your husband? Yeah,
so like an open relationship type thing.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yeah, yeah, like he already knows like I'm a free
spirit and he knows like I'm very open minded. I mean,
he loves who I am, and so I I you know,
I talked to him about it, and I don't know,
instead of listening and having a conversation, he just like

(03:16):
felt very frantic and just laught and yeah, so like
he grabbed his jacket. He didn't even finish his drink.
And I haven't heard from intense, So.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
So we know why you're getting ghosted.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yeah, well, I mean yes, but I don't know. I
just I felt like I was being really transparent and
I believe in honesty and obviously love and multiple kinds
of love. And he said he really liked emotionally intelligent women,
and I don't know, I thought that he would be
at least willing to have a conversation about it.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
So, okay, that's what you want, I have a conversation
about it.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Lucy is on the phone and she's getting ghosted by
a guy named Josh. We think we might know why,
but we're not sure. So we're about to call him
and see if he'll tell us why he's ghostinger and
get her a second date. But first, Lucy, why don't
you break down your situation.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Again real quick?

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yeah? So I had a really great connection with Josh.
We went on a date and I was honest with
him and told him that I'm married, but i'd like to,
you know, have an open relationship. And I don't not
see this left, so I haven't heard from him since.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
All right, well, are you ready to call him?

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Hi, man, I speak to Josh. Please, Hey, Josh, how
are you? This is a radio show. It's called The
Jewel Show.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Hi Josh.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
I'm Nina, Hi Victoria, and my name is Jewbel. What's up?

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (04:54):
What's up? Guys?

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Look?

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Have you ever listened to the show?

Speaker 5 (05:00):
For I have, but just been a minute, and I
don't know what I'm doing it.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Well, we do a segment called the First day follow up.
That's where if you go on a date with somebody
and then you ghost them, that person can email us
to get you on the phone and ask why you're
ghosting them. So we got an email about you, Josh, Okay,
any idea who would email us?

Speaker 5 (05:24):
This is Vanessa?

Speaker 4 (05:25):
Is it Vanessava?

Speaker 2 (05:30):
It's not Vanessa, it's Lucy. And that's Lucy. She's actually
on the phone and wanted to talk to you.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
So Lucy, all right? So is Vanessa? I know I
freak her up by telling you I'm married, But are
you going out with somebody else? We really had a connection?

Speaker 5 (05:53):
Uh uh Okay, hold on, I'm still trying to process.
So all this work? So you thought I ghosted you?
So you called a radio station to call me on
the on the air.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Is that?

Speaker 5 (06:08):
What's that? What is happening here right now?

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yes? I I didn't know what else to do, so
I called the radio station, like you've been ghosting me?
So what I don't know what to do?

Speaker 5 (06:20):
Okay, I'm going to break this down in a way
that I hopefully you can understand. Lucy, you casually dropped
that you're married and you're planning to ask him for
permission to date me. So you're asking your husband, how
do you think this was gonna go? Like I I, yeah,
I do like you, but this is so messy. This

(06:42):
is not how I operate, I know.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
But I mean I was being really vulnerable with you,
like I felt like, I don't know, I felt like
we reached this place and like I was able to
open up to you in that way and and that
I want you to be in my life. I feel
like something's really here between us, and I felt like
I could tell you the truth and we could like
kind of work through this.

Speaker 5 (07:05):
Yeah, you see, I didn't sign up for a throuble
want that. I don't want that. I don't want that.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Okay, I don't not a thrupple just me Like, I'm okay.
I would still be married, but I would be monogamous
with you, So.

Speaker 5 (07:21):
You wouldn't be with your husband anymore. Is that what
you're saying to me?

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Okay? I well, I would be with him, but but
it would just be him and then you and nobody else.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
That's not monogamous with me? Do you understand what.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
I know?

Speaker 3 (07:39):
But like, what if I just I feel like, okay,
what if I let you date whoever? You want, but
then you're still my boyfriend.

Speaker 5 (07:48):
Okay, I'm going to refer back to the monogamous. Do
you even know what that word means? This is bothering me.
Can you tell me what it means? If you know?

Speaker 3 (08:00):
I mean, what does it mean? No?

Speaker 5 (08:04):
No, no, no, tell me like, I don't know what
I mean. I don't know what it means. So can
you expect it to me? Just tell me what it is?
What does that mean word means?

Speaker 3 (08:11):
Yeah? I mean, I think it's going to take more
than like a conversation on the radio to talk about that.

Speaker 5 (08:17):
No, no, no, no, I'm just telling you to tell
me one thing. You dragged me on the radio. I
just want you to define one word. What's monogamous means?
What does it mean? You got your phone to google it?
You don't know?

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah, I mean, I just feel like it's to me,
it's it's being with my husband and then and then
you know, with my boyfriend and then nobody else.

Speaker 5 (08:44):
That's great, Okay, thank you, that's that's amazing cool. So
chairs are bed too in my world? Like, I don't
you know you can't just change the definition of a
word to suit your application.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Do you understand that you at least you willing to
maybe like talk to me more about this.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
Like absolutely at this point, I'm like fascinated with what's
going on in your mind. I'll never talk to you
from a romantic angle ever again, or that that's that's
not happening, that's that's but I want to know. I
want to know how crazy you are. I'm being honest.
I want to figure out what's going on in your head.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
No, I don't know that that's you, Josh. Would you
like another day with Lucy? Will pay for it?

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Oh? No? Like, Okay, I get that you think I'm crazy.
It's a little unconventional, but I just felt like you
would maybe want to see like where our connection could go,
Like it might be worth you know, exploring.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
A little bit more.

Speaker 5 (09:42):
Well, you know, sometimes we think wrong.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Wow, Okay you did say we so.

Speaker 5 (09:49):
That Yeah okay, yeah that's a hard No. There will
never be at you and me we as long as
you have a husband.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
Okay, Okay, Well I feel like it's really unfair that
you think I should leave my host up for you.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
Escalated.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Well, yeah, I don't think you're getting another date Lucy,
but at least you got to talk to Josh.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
Yeah, well, thanks guys, I don't I don't know what
to say.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
You'll figure it out, I'm sure. And Josh, thank you
for your time.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
Yeah, I still don't know what happened all this time.
