very sweet from the beginning, and we exchange numbers and
then we went out and we had an amazing time.

and funny and just like Prince Charming. I honestly can't

Wow, and yeah, I just.

Speaker 2 (00:49):

of ghosting me now and I don't get ghosted, so
I don't know what is up with us. It's kind
of bizarre. I'm wondering, you know what happened because we
had an amazing time.

this guy. Now he hasn't called you. Have you reached
out to him?

my tech.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Okay, what does that mean?

Speaker 1 (03:12):
So?

Speaker 5 (03:13):
Yeah, so we talked on Instagram for a little bit
and then we were planning the date. I suggested, like
a couple of days go out.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
And she wanted to pick the day that was.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Her birthday, So first date on her birthday?

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Yeah, and like she like she she wanted to do
it on that day.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
It wasn't like I suggested that, and it happened to be.
She was like, no, let's do it on my birthday okay.
And and then you know, so I said, okay, it's
a little weird, but I sent restaurant ideas and then
she sent back, like a restaurant you want to go
to that was like.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
So expensive because birthday special dinners?

Speaker 4 (03:52):
Yeah, it just and I was like, I'm not, you know,
I'm not. I'm not her boyfriend. Oh the burden is
being put on.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Man.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Don't you have friends or family dinner on your birthday? Okay?
All right, so what did you do?

Speaker 1 (04:04):
So?

Speaker 4 (04:05):
I mean, we went, and I did not plan on
spending the amount of money that spent. I spent, but
you know, I tried. I tried to be nice because
you know, her birthday, and she says, what else do
you have plans?

Speaker 3 (04:24):
What did you have plans to take her.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
It's the first day.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
I don't know this lady. Did you buy gifts or anything?

Speaker 5 (04:34):
I bought the.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Okay, So what happens next then was that you're like, no,
I don't have anything else planned. It was nice to
meet you, and then you got out.

Speaker 5 (04:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
I was like I tried to make a joke out
of it. I was like, I planned a walk around
the block, and we walked.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
That was that was it.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
We parted ways.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
And she said it was the best birthday ever, and
I was like, got it. First date ever?

Speaker 1 (04:57):
For me.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
That's a lot to ask of a first date. Let me.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
I forgot to mention that Marci's here, Marci that let mean,
come on, that's you haven't even met this person and
you're asking him to spring for a really expensive dinner
on your birthday. Don't you have other people in your
life who could do that for you.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
But I told him it was my birthday, Okay, I
mean birthdays are special and he should have known that
this is what I was gonna want.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
I gotta say, though, if he had suggested the day
and then you're like, well, that's my birthday and he's
said no, no, no, But let me take you out for
your birthday.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
I mean he didn't really have a choice.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Listen, if he can't whine and dine me the way
that I want on my birthday, then I mean maybe
he just will never understand what I want ever in
a relationship.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
I mean it looks a little, a little. I mean
it's not the best look.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Well, I've been wined and dined really nicely before on
a first date, so I don't see why I should
settle for anything less to that.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
But don't you think the guy or the girl whoever's
doing the asking, don't you think that person should get
to decide what kind of dat it is?

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Is a post?

Speaker 1 (05:54):
I mean, if I can tell you right now, if
I on a first date, if someone's like, we're going
to the most expensive rest run in town. Actually, Jason
Brown did this to me. If someone did that, I
would be like, well, are you into me? Or you
are you just trying to get a really expensive free
dinner on your birthday. No.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
I wasn't trying to use him at all like that.
I just thought that he would want to do something
special for me for my birthday.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
He doesn't know, true, girl, wasn't there anyone else you
wanted to spend it with.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
You know, did you have friends?

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, of course I have friends, but I just I
just stand by what I want and I don't think
there's anything wrong with that.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Fair enough, fair enough, Jed, Look that's your explanation. Would
you consider giving her another shot? Maybe you guys go
to a more reasonable place.

Speaker 4 (06:37):
No, I'm not interested.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
This is it's so I hate this, like you want
me to make this special day for you at the
first day supposed to be special for both people, and
I just feel like, frankly, like I was like being
exploited or something.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Well, you don't have to do it, Jet.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
I mean, you could have just said no, but then
I get the day. It never would have happened, I guess.
So he took the check answer.

Speaker 5 (07:00):
Yeah, I gave it a shot. I I my fears
were confirmed the moment she started ordering, And yeah, I mean,
it's this is how you meet people.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (07:10):
I don't want to know how the rest goes.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
You're the one who DMed me, so tell them.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
I'll look for to check the person's first day next time, be.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Select to both of you.
