Sabrina thought her dinner date with Darren was perfect—great pasta, hours of conversation, and what felt like real chemistry.

First Date follow Up powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys

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

Speaker 3 (00:22):
It's been about a week. Yeah, seventies actually of digital silence.

Speaker 4 (00:26):
Have you reached out to him? I?

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yeah, actually yesterday I did. I asked him if he
wanted to get wine drunk and make bad decisions.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
But nothing. That's a great text. I love that. But okay,
it'd be awesome text to get. Were there any other
messages you attent before that one?

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yeah? Last week I texted him like immediately after a date.
I said hey, I had a great time and asked
if he wanted to do something again, But still nothing.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
Why don't you tell us about the date?

Speaker 3 (00:56):
So it was super cute. We went to post the
place like that actually made homemade pasta and my god,
the RIGATONI was to die for. Yeah, he picked the
spot out so points for great taste. He wore this
button up that looks like he had ironed it, which
is pretty rare these days. Like we talked for hours

(01:17):
on top of that, like he and I just went
on and up until closing time. Like the server literally
started vacuuming around us. Yeah, you know, I said like,
let's maybe get up and go, and he kind of
didn't initiate it. But once we did walk to the
parking garage together, I mean, we had this moment I

(01:40):
almost like he was going to kiss me, but he
just hugged me instead and like held me really tight
for a moment and then said dry space. It was
really intentional.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
Okay. Did he say anything about seeing you again after that?

Speaker 3 (01:55):
No, nothing really got broke, like brought up or planned.
You know, It's just kind of I felt we left
on a great note.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
Yeah, and then just nothing after the date.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah. I mean like we did great turn taking with
talking and I just felt like, okay, I felt like
the ball was in his court after he said drive safe,
Like okay, that kind of meant the follow up was
to come the next day.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
But nothing. Yeah, I feel that too.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
I Mean, it sounds like everything went really well, especially
since you closed the restaurant down. I mean, he could
have tried to leave at any time at that point.
Is there anything that could have happened though, that would
be the reason why he's ghosting you.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
I have a tendency to overshare, like just this smidge
and we got on the topic of X's which I
didn't bring up, by the way, but I accidentally mentioned
to answer one of his questions that I do have
a sad too.

Speaker 6 (02:59):
And it's my ex's name.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
Okay, yeah, totally due to a kill of the old weekend.
I mean, bad decisions all around.

Speaker 5 (03:10):
You're not the only person that's accidentally gotten the wrong tattoo.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yeah, I mean it was right at the time, and I.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Made it really clear to him that I hate that
X right now and I'm in the process of getting
it removed. I mean, I'm just not the type of
person that gets the name tattooed on them. But, like
I said, bad decision. I feel pretty embarrassed by it.
But I am also pretty embarrassed. I even like shared
about it.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
Okay, he's a cute little nugget.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
You know, if you were to see parts of your
body at some point behind it right.

Speaker 6 (03:43):
I guess that's good.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
To be honest, it's the best policy.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah, all right, Well we'll see if there's the tattoo
that is the reason you're getting ghosted. We'll play a
song come back, and then call him and see if
you'll tell us why he's ghosting you and maybe get
you a second date if you still want one.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
Okay, all right, thank you. Well, okay, we'll get your
first day follow up right after.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
This first date follow up powered by the Advocates Injury
Attorneys online at Advocates Law dot com.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Right in the middle of your first day follow up
if you're just joining us. Sabrina is on the phone
and she's getting ghosted by a guy named Darren. So
in a second we're gonna call him see if he'll
tell us why he's ghosting her and maybe get her
a second date. But first, Sabrina, why don't you break
down your date again one more time?

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (04:22):
I felt like it was a great date, and we
were talking until the restaurant was closing, I mean, and
had this moment outside in the parking garage. I just
don't know what went wrong, other than I could have
possibly spilled too much about my tattoo that is of
my ex's name.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Geo, would you care?

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Probably not. I don't think I would care. It depends
where the tattoo was, how big it was, you know,
so you're not going.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
To talk to Maybe that was a bad example. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
I also can't judge because I have tattoos that Yeah,
so the yeah that I want to get rid of it.
But anyway, well we hope it's not that. Yeah, we'll
see if it is. All right, are you ready for
us to call him?

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah, I'm definitely ready for that.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
Okay, here we go. Hello, Hi, man, I speak to
Darren please.

Speaker 6 (05:27):
Yeah, this is Darren.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Hey, Darren, how are you. This is a radio show.
It's called The Jewbill Show.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
Hi Darren. I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria. My name is Jubel.

Speaker 6 (05:36):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
Have you ever heard the show before?

Speaker 6 (05:40):
Yeah? Yeah, so I'm I'm guessing this is about Sabrina. Huh,
yes it is.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
It's the first date follow up, you know, the segment
where if you go somebody, they can email us to
call you and find out why are you ghosting them? Sabrina
emailed us about you. We talked to her and she
said that she thought everything was cool. She really liked you,
but now you're ghosting her. Do you have a minute
to tell us why? Y?

Speaker 6 (06:00):
Yeah, she ate off my plate with her bare hands.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
That's it.

Speaker 6 (06:05):
What do you mean that's it? Yeah.

Speaker 7 (06:07):
She reached across the table mid sentenced, grabbed a meat
ball with her fingers and said, just one bite, then
popped it in her mouth like it was a tictac
and lickt her fingers.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
She grabbed a meatball with her bare hands. Okay, gotta
love a meatball. That's enough to go somebody, though.

Speaker 7 (06:24):
Uh for me, it was like watching someone Sancho flied
mid air, no warning, just boom ball gone.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Okay, though you can do that, Like, I mean, that's
impressive to pop a meatball about that quick.

Speaker 5 (06:38):
But Darren, she told us you guys like hung out
to the restaurant closed. Did you just, I don't know,
decide to put that in the back of your mind
until the end of.

Speaker 6 (06:45):
The day, honestly, Yeah, because I wanted to dessert because
she ate my food.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Okay, okay, okay, And that's the only reason is the
meatball tictac incident.

Speaker 6 (07:01):
You know, I feel like that's a pretty significant thing,
Like y'all don't think that's the big deal.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
I think I would be annoyed if somebody didn't ask
and they just reached across and grab my off my plate.

Speaker 6 (07:11):
But not only did she not ask, she did it
with her bare hands.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
Maybe it's not really comfortable with you.

Speaker 6 (07:18):
I guess.

Speaker 7 (07:19):
But I didn't even know how to react. I just
stared at my plate like it betrayed me.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
That's a good point. I don't know how I react either.

Speaker 5 (07:26):
Like French fries, that's fine, like you assume people would
grab those, But to take a whole meatball with.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
Your fingers meat ball is an interesting chi. It's a
little messy.

Speaker 6 (07:34):
I don't even want anyone touching my French fries.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Darren, you might already know this, but Sabrina's on the
phone and she's been listening and wants to talk to you.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Oh my god, Hi Darren.

Speaker 6 (07:46):
Uh Hey, Sabrina. Hey.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Like, honestly, it was a meat ball that was the
that was the final trigger for you.

Speaker 6 (07:58):
Look, you didn't even use a pork, You just counce
like a lion.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yeah, I mean it was one metfall.

Speaker 6 (08:05):
I was just being playful, playful. You were shoveling food
in your face like a caveman.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Oh no, I was not. I was being like sexy
with the meatball and drawing attention to my mouth with it.
You got a caveman from that.

Speaker 7 (08:21):
That was not sexy at all. That was probably the
most unsexy thing I've ever seen.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
Are you like not into girls? Because I would think
any guy would think that's sexy.

Speaker 7 (08:33):
Look, I mean I am into girls, and you are.
You're beautiful and you're nice. But it was definitely a
boundary violation. And honestly, I'd barely barely known you an
hour and you were reaching across the table for my food.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
I mean, honestly, that's going far boundary violation. Like, come on, seriously,
it was just cute.

Speaker 6 (08:57):
I mean, if you.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Need me too, I'll get you. Word mean fall.

Speaker 6 (09:01):
It's not about the meatball. It's about trust.

Speaker 7 (09:04):
It's about sabrina and hygiene.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
This is ridiculous hygiene, Like, honestly, because I use my hands,
they were clean and it was going into my mouth.
There's nothing unhygienic about it.

Speaker 6 (09:20):
That's why we have forks. You didn't even use a fork,
would you.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
Still be ghosting? Or if she would have used a
fork instead of her hands.

Speaker 7 (09:28):
Well, if she had asked first if she could have
a meatball and then use her fork, Yeah, that would
be a totally different story. Wow.

Speaker 5 (09:37):
Uh so if she promises to use forks from here
on out, does that change that for you?

Speaker 4 (09:40):
Or is it correct?

Speaker 6 (09:42):
You know, I just have some trauma unpack with that
stolen meatball.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
Clearly like another date with Sabrina will pay for it. Hmm.

Speaker 8 (09:54):
Let me think, do I want to go on another
date with the woman who used her bare hand and
to grab food off of my plate, risking all sorts
of disease and end of the world fiascas?

Speaker 6 (10:10):
No, I'm good, No, no, darn again.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
If it was the meatball, then good luck finding someone
who can handle your deep emotions to use the need
of having a fork use every time.

Speaker 6 (10:25):
And good luck learning how to use one.
