And Zoe is on the phone today and she's getting
ghosted by a guy named Benji. So we're about to
call him and see if he tell us why he's
ghosting her and maybe get her a second date. But first, Zoe,
why do you think you're getting ghosted?

Speaker 1 (00:17):
I think he's done someone to hook up with after
our date.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Wait, really, what so you think that after he was
done on your date, like the same like right after
he went and hooked.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Up with someone.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Yeah. So we met of hint and we went on
a date. It was like a really nice date. We
went for dinner. He walked me back to my car.
He was like really a gentleman, and then we have
started kissing when we got to my car. But I
had this like five date through where I don't feel

(00:52):
comfortable being physical with someone before we have had five dates,
So I told him about like that nothing else was
going to happen after that kiss, at least that night
he was I felt he got a little like said back,
but he he was okay with it. He gave me

(01:14):
a kiss on the cheek, opened the door for me
and we left. We took different ways in that moment.
But then I was hoping like he follow up for
a second day. But no text, no calls, nothing, hmm.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Okay. And so but to you, that says that he
hooked up with somebody, you.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Think, well, I think he must find someone else if
he was like not interested after having kidden it.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Okay, And you think you turned him up off because
he didn't want to wait, uh huh, you don't want
somebody like that anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:50):

is on the phone and she's getting ghosted by a
dude named Benji, and we're about to call him right
now and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting
her and maybe get her a second date. But before
we do that, Zoe, why don't you refresh our memory?

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Oh? Why do you think you're getting ghosted?

Speaker 1 (02:07):

We kissed before we went to our own places, and
then I told him about my five the day two
where I don't feel comfortable with being physical with someone
before we go on five days. And after that I

(02:27):
