First Date follow Up powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys
online at Advocateslaw dot com.

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

Speaker 3 (00:20):
It's been like ninetyays, so.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
Not terrible, but like long enough that I'm, you know,
kind of wondering where he's got.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Totally Yeah, when was the last time you hit him up?

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Two days ago? I?

Speaker 4 (00:34):
Okay, Well, I'll tell you My statement to him will
make sense when I tell you what the date was.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
But okay, I asked me if he was feeling like
a Yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
Asked mith he was feeling like a winner, because I
thought that was flirty in context, and I haven't heard
anything back nothing.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Okay, he wasn't feeling like a winner.

Speaker 5 (00:51):
You probably tell me tell us a little bit about
the date.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah, Well, the date I thought was great. We went
to this retro arcade bar.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
It was like totally eighty them kind of stranger things
vibe but with alcohol.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
But we were in like full competition.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
Mode and I bodied him in ski ball, like absolutely
absolutely crushed him. There was maybe some light trash talk
and maybe call him Grandpa hands when he missed them
one hundred hole, but I thought it was flirty. He
laughed at the time, and then we shared a giant
pressol and he wiped mustard off my face.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
So I thought he was going to kiss me.

Speaker 6 (01:33):
I was like, okay, kiss me now, but he didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
But we did slow dance next to the DDR machine,
so it felt kind of like weirdly romantic. Is that stupid?

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Not at all fun? I mean that feels like he
was vibing with you too.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
Yeah, somebody else played Celine Dion Machine on DDR, which
is a weird pick, but we slowed danced to that,
and he was just really funny. I thought them through
thing was cute, and like, I thought we were having
fun playing the game, So I don't know, I was.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
I thought it went great. I really had a great time.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
So why do you think he's ghosting you? Then?

Speaker 4 (02:11):
Okay, So I thought about this a lot, and there
was one moment where I kind of tried to do
like a sexy lean While I was talking to him,
I was like playing with my hair and I leaned
against this life sized sonic the hedgehog statue, and I
kind of knocked it completely over on the mountain.

Speaker 5 (02:30):
Oh okay, well, do you think that would be why
he would ghost you?

Speaker 3 (02:35):
It's the only thing I could think of.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
It made like a really loud crash, like I feel
like it the a light flickered.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
A guy yelled at me. It was like, I don't
know if.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
He worked there, if he was just nearby, but I'm
wondering if I like embarrassed him or something. I feel
like I feel like we left shortly after that, so
it was just like a weird shift in the energy.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
What was he doing when you did that? Was he
trying to help you up? Was he like, are you okay?
Did he walk away?

Speaker 3 (03:06):
He didn't walk away, but he was just kind of
I think he was shocked.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
And we were just kind of standing there and looking
around stupidly, and a guy who worked there ended up
like coming over and kicking it up.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
But yeah, he was.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
I apologize to him and he was like, oh my god,
it's totally fine.

Speaker 6 (03:24):
But we left not that long after that, So that's.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Like the only thing I can think of.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
I really hope it's not that.

Speaker 5 (03:30):
Okay, Yeah, we'll check it out for you.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
We'll play a song come back, and then call him
and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting you
and maybe get you a second date.

Speaker 5 (03:38):
Okay, that sounds great.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
All right, we'll get your first a follow up next.
If you're just joining us for today's first date follow up.
Mollie is on the phone and she's getting ghosted by
a guy named Raife. So we're about to call him
and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting her
and maybe get her a second date. But before we
do that, Molly, rush our memory on your date real quick.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
We went to this like eighties themed retro bar arcade situation.

Speaker 6 (04:07):
And I played a bunch.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
We played a bunch of games and I thought it
went really well. But then I knocked over a gigantic
sonic the Hedgehog statue and you made a big noise,
and I think that's maybe why you's ghosting me.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Okay, so that would be weird to get ghosted for
knocking over a sonic the Hedgehog.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
I mean it's embarrassing, but I just feel like you
would have been like, oh, it's okay, all right?

Speaker 5 (04:29):
Are you ready for us to call him? Yeah, I'm right, okay,
here we go.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Him.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
I speak to Race please. Oh hey, Rafe, how are you?
This is a radio show. It's called The Jewel Show.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Hi, Rafe, I'm Nina.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
Hi, I'm Victoria and my name is Juble. What's up?

Speaker 7 (04:55):
Hi?

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Have a coin?

Speaker 5 (04:57):
Pretty good?

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Just a break?

Speaker 5 (05:00):
No, it's not have you ever listened to the show before.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Uh?

Speaker 7 (05:03):
Yeah, I've seen the prank phone calls on a TikTok
so is that okay?

Speaker 2 (05:09):
No, this is not a prank phone call. We actually
do another segment on the show. It's called the First
Day follow Up. That's where if you go on a
day with somebody and you ghost them, that person can
have us call you to ask why you're ghosting them.

Speaker 5 (05:22):
And we got an email about you.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
Is this about Molly?

Speaker 5 (05:26):
Yes it is. It's about Molly.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Molly emailed us, told us a little bit about your date,
said she really liked you, but she's confused because it's
been over nine days and you haven't talked to her,
and she's wondering, why would you mind telling us.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Okay, I know this sounds crazy.

Speaker 7 (05:43):
I'm ghosting her because she beat me in every single game.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Okay, well, but why are you ghosting her though?

Speaker 7 (05:54):
I mean, look, I'm not saying I need to like
win all the time or something, but I lost all
air hockey pat band and somehow she got the high
score on on Time Crisis for eating nachos.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
I mean it was intang oho.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Well it sounds impressive, though, Rafe.

Speaker 7 (06:13):
I mean she annihilated me. I mean it was crazy.
Every time I tried to make this comeback, she'd give
me this little kitty like awe noise.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
I mean I've heard in my.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Sleep devastated you that much that she beat you at
all the games that you guys played.

Speaker 7 (06:31):
Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm not trying to be
like her ego about it, but I mean she was
calling me where if the roudeem was after I didn't
get like a single prize from the you know, the
claw machine thing that's like impossible to wear.

Speaker 6 (06:45):
Yeah, I don't know that nicknames like six with you.

Speaker 7 (06:49):

so getting that tagged onto it.

No, you know, so you are hurt by it.

Speaker 7 (06:57):
Yeah, I mean it was. I am mad about it,
like she you should It shouldn't. A date should be
this insane competition like you should be. You know, we're
not actually trying to like beat each other so badly
at these games.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
We should let me win a little bit.

Speaker 2 (07:11):

you're Ghostinger and rape. I'll let you know that she's
actually on the phone and wants to talk to you.

Speaker 4 (07:21):

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Oh my god, you're you're here?

Speaker 4 (07:30):
Were you actually scared off by a woman who can
multitask nahouts and a game?

Speaker 3 (07:36):
I wasn't prepared for your your raw, terrifying talent. Okay,
I mean I thought we were having a good time.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
You could have just asked asked me for a rematch
instead of like vanishing into the arcade missed like a
sore loser ninja or something.

Speaker 7 (07:53):
Oh see right there, what sore loser ninja like full
of names for me?

Speaker 4 (08:00):
I was just I thought we were I thought we
were ribbing. I'm sorry it was supposed to be. Maybe
I'm bad at flirting. You thought that was flirting. You
thought that humiliated me? In this arcade in front of
all these kids, was flirting.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Not the kids, I really I do.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
I do feel bad that I hurt your feelings, I
really do. I didn't mean to like roast you hard enough.
I didn't think you were going to take it personally.
I was just trying to be like fun.

Speaker 6 (08:26):
And competitive with it.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
But I mean I would I'll keep that in mind.
I'll definitely curved. That was kind of aggressive. I'm just
saying it was little.

Speaker 7 (08:37):

fragile or whatever.

Speaker 3 (08:41):

to be the one.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Track right, Well, Rafe, would you like another date with Molly?
We'll pay for it?

Speaker 7 (09:16):
Uh, I don't know, I mean, why should I give
you another chance? I mean that was mortifying. I'm just
saying I'm not It started out fun and frivolous, but
then it got you know, kind of aggressive in a
way that it wasn't fun for me.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
So I don't know. I don't think, Molly, do you
think I liked you?

Speaker 4 (09:38):
I liked you because you were easy to talk to, you,
you made me laugh, and it didn't seem like you had.

Speaker 6 (09:45):
To try too hard.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
I like went on a weird brand about clo machines
at one point, and you like really listened to me,
and you were even really calm when I.

Knocked over that sonic statue. You didn't make it too
weird knocked over you kicked it. You kick because you
were piss because you off that game.

time go by, and you know, I feel dumb about
reaching back out like I was gonna be like, hey,
