First Day to follow Up powered by the Advocates Injury
Attorneys online at advocatesla dot com. Justin is on the
phone today for a first Day follow up and he's
getting ghosted by a woman named Tristan. So in a minute,
we're gonna call her and see if she'll tell us
why she's ghosting him and maybe get him a second date.
But first, justin, how long has it been since you
heard from Tristan.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Oh, it's been a minute. It's been like two weeks. Yeah,
it's been like two weeks.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Like even leading up to the date, we were going
like the build up was like once a day, like
quick exchange, like oh, you know, goofy thing happened on
the way to work or whatever.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
And then then it was like.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Leading up to the date, it was like a couple times,
three times a day at some.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Point, and then and then it just completely drops.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
So I feel like after the date, I was like, Okay,
it'll be at least once a day, and then after
a couple of attempts.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Nothing out.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Yeah, that's a very obvious that's a very obvious ghost. Well,
why don't you tell us what happened on the day
or how it went.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
I mean, the whole day was great. I mean it
was really I mean, she's amazing. Like we hit it
off with like a meme off, like we had a
we had a group chat going, and like she sent
a meme and I sent a meme and she kind
of like privately texted me. Was like, that was fantastic,

(01:28):
and it was just like, okay, it's on.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
It's on where you guys met, like in a group chat,
you guys met.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah basically okay, okay twenty twenty five man, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:41):
But you got that side text though. That's a good sign.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
That was huge, right. I was like, okay, I was
not expecting. It was pleasant surprise.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
And then so anyway, we went, we went out. She
was just really great.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
So we went to I don't know, I heard good
things about like a VR arcade, and I was like,
I never tried it. I want to seem like the
type of person that'd be down to try something new
with me, So I went for it and she was down.
So we went to this VR arcade and it was awesome.
I don't I'm not a huge gamer, but I dabble

(02:15):
and it felt like she had the same vibe. So
we were just being nerdy together, kind of like a
different side of me that I got to let out
a little bit.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
And it was just super fun. It was like it
was like this.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Race, you know, race to the finish, beat the clock
kind of thing. So they had like different scenarios of
a like high like you know, fun stressful situations.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
It was like a ball. We had to diffuse a bomb.
We had to be right okay, right, So it was
like super fun and playful.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
And then you know, we're doing doing that thing, and
as I'm recapping the whole day, I think this is
probably so we do it. We do it in the
bomb thing, and she's like, cut the.

Speaker 6 (02:56):
Blue wire, cut the blue wire, cut the blue wire, right,
And then I don't know if it was half joking,
like sixty percent serious and forty percent joking, but I went,
I went.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
There's no wire.

Speaker 5 (03:10):
This is how good it die?

Speaker 2 (03:13):
And I kind of just like went.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
A little crazy, and I felt like contact on one
of my hands and so like kind of hard contact,
like I kind of I threw my hands up when
I was like I'm gonna die or whatever, and I
felt contact and I like peaked under my my headset
and I saw that I had, I think, and I'm

(03:37):
pretty sure I clobbered.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Her her arm, like her shoulder.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Oh no, like just kind of like splailed and my
wrap and I was like, oh shoot. I didn't say
shoot obviously, but like we played it off, like we
kind of laughed it off after that, even though like
there were people around and like people were having different reactions.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
It was a little bbarrassing, but we laughed it off
and played it cool.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
We had had the spot, had smoothies, and so like
we just you know, we just chilled out and had
some smoothies. And then even after we you know, didn't
diffuse the bomb or whatever, we still were able to
hang out for a little while.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
So yeah, I don't, I don't.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
You know, we'll see what we can figure it out
where you we'll play a song, come back, and then
call her and see if she'll tell us why she's
ghosting you, and then maybe get you.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
A second date. Okay, okay, all right, thank you, get
your first date follow up next.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Right in the middle of your first day follow up
if you're just joining us, Justin is on the phone
and he's been getting ghosted by a woman named Tristan
for two weeks now, and we're about to call her
and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting him
and maybe get him a second date. But before we
do that, justin, why don't you break down your situation
for us again real quick?

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah, So metis Scirl Tristan. We hit it off, super
super great connection. We went to a v R arcade
and we were, you know, problem solving with the tual reality,
and we were trying to diffuse a bomb. We were
both trying to defuse a bomb. And in diffusing the bomb,

(05:08):
I made like a pretty big gesture and I accidentally
hit her pretty good in her shoulder and we laughed.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
We laughed it off.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
We still had smoothies after the bomb was not diffused.
And so I'm confused as to why I'm being ghosted
because I'm looking at that situation that the potential reason.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
But it seems like we resolved it.

Speaker 5 (05:27):
So yeah, oh well let's see if you did resolve it.
Are you ready for us to call her?

Speaker 2 (05:32):
All right, yeah, let's do this.

Speaker 5 (05:34):

Speaker 5 (06:05):
Okay around, that's not bad.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Well, you can always listen to the podcast on The
Jebel Show dot com if you want calling you today
because we do a segment on the show called the
First Date follow Up. And what that is is where
if you go out with somebody and you end up
ghosting them, they can email us to get you on
the phone and ask why you're ghosting them. And we
got an email about you from somebody. Do you know
who would email us?

Speaker 7 (06:26):
I may have an idea?

Speaker 5 (06:29):
Yeah, maybe, Okay, who do you think it is?

Speaker 7 (06:35):
I don't want to name them just in case, but
I kind of feel like I know maybe Okay, I
don't know Jason.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Uh No, it is not Jason. Jason might be wondering
why you're ghosting, but he has not contacted us, but
Justin did.

Speaker 7 (06:54):
Oh, okay, do.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
You mind telling us why you're ghosting Justin?

Speaker 7 (07:01):
Well, I go to him because he stolen VR headset.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
What Yeah, he just like stuffed it into his coat.

Speaker 7 (07:11):
So like we went on a date and we had
the our headsets to use at this you know, gaming place, and.

Speaker 5 (07:19):
Like he shoved it under his jacket, and then when
we went.

Speaker 7 (07:22):
First Smoothie, like all I could notice was this weird
puff sticking out of his jacket. And that's when I knew,
Like who looks around with a tech bulge?

Speaker 5 (07:31):
Like that's not cool? Like I just don't date people who.

Speaker 7 (07:35):
Steel, Like it's a standard of mine. Like that's just no,
that was just absolutely like red flags behavior.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
So you didn't call him out on it or anything
or ask him to try to confirm that it really
wasn't stolen be our headset.

Speaker 7 (07:49):
No, no, I didn't, because like I knew it was.
I just I saw him stuff something in his jacket,
like there, what else would it be, Like that's the
only thing we were using at the time, So like, yeah, no,
he definitely stolen.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Wow, So you don't want to go out with a
guy who steals things from places that you go to?
Is that what you're saying? Okay, yeah, well thank you
for telling us. I do have to let you know
that Justin is actually on the phone and wants to
talk to you. I don't know if he's currently wearing
the VR headset, but he is on the phone justin.

Speaker 5 (08:25):
Uh, yeah, did you jack at VR headset?

Speaker 2 (08:30):
No?

Speaker 3 (08:31):
What?

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Uh? I can't help but laugh because that's obvious.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
I absolutely did not feel that I wouldn't have stolen
the headset. When I paid for the whole two hour package,
I went back, I took it to the to the counter,
you know, you check them in, you check them out
kind of thing, and that's what they told me to do.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
So that's what I did, and maybe I like it.
I think I remember doing a little bit.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Yeah, I did like a little bit because we were
you know, I was just adding on of the bits
that I was, you know, we're just diffusing a bomb,
and it felt like.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Kind of sneaky.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
So I was being kind of sneaky, like returning the set,
being real goofy and trying to play off hitting you
in the arm. I was trying to just like just
totally no pun intended to fuse that situation.

Speaker 7 (09:17):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
I did not steal this. I did not steal the
VR headset. The VR headset was not a VR headset.
It was it was a It was a stuffed penguin.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
It's a giant stuff pe so like the prize wall,
like Tristan, you remember the prize Wall and then and
then you were like you kind of you kind of
commented on how on how cute the giant stuff penguin was.
So when you went to the bathroom and wash your hands,
I kind of snuff you know.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
I sneaked like I bought it and like tried to
sneak it. So I wanted to surprise you with it.

Speaker 7 (09:58):

Speaker 3 (10:36):
I realize, I think I left it at the smoothie table. No, yeah,
because I was I was I was like, I'll think
it's the parking lot, but then it went really well
with the smoothies and all that, and I kind of
just forgot.

guy there, I can't.
