Hey, Jason, welcome, good morning, Hey, thank you, thanks, happy
to have you here. Waiting by the phone, of course,
is what this is called. We're trying to figure out
if you've been ghosted, and if you have been ghosted
why that's kind of our mission here. So what's going
on with this woman, Lauren? I think it would help
for us to have kind of all the backstory. How
did you meet? Tell us about any dates that you've
been on and where things are are now?

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Okay, all right, so I met I met Lauren on
hinge right, just pretty classic. I ask her out to dinner.
I really liked her. Right, We're having a great time
on the date. But while we were there, I think
I was like, this is I'm definitely ghost to that.
Like I got I got up to go to the bathroom.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
When I got back, she was.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Gone, oh okay, so this this wasn't like we got
through the whole date and now she's not tolling you.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
This is she left mid date.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
Yeah, this is like she took her purse and ran.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Oh boy, And I did you reach out to her
after that?

Speaker 4 (01:35):
Our?

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Is everything? Okay? Did I?

Speaker 2 (01:37):
I mean if you tried to like dig into this
yourself to figure out what might happen?

Speaker 4 (01:41):
So yeah, I called it straight to voicemail every time.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Huh, all right, so you got blocked. Maybe I don't
know what happened. This is weird. We don't hear about
this too often, where people leave, you know, in the
midst of a date. But let me, I'm gonna put
you in a hole to play a song. We'll come back.
We're gonna call Lauren see if we can get her
on the phone. You'll be on the phone as well,
and we'll ask some questions and I don't know, maybe
something happened and everything's okay now, and we can get

(02:05):
you guys set up on another date that we pay for.
All right, Hey, Jason, welcome back. Let's call it Lauren.
You guys, you went on a date. And this is
one that we don't hear about too often. You actually
got up to go to the bathroom at some point
during the date. When you came back, she was gone.
She left you mid date, and you've reached out to her.
You tried calling her, and it goes straight to voicemails.

(02:27):
She's not calling you back. I mean, at this point,
it's like, does something happen to her? I mean, you're
worried about her? Did something You have no idea?

Speaker 4 (02:35):
Yeah, I mean I have no idea. Is she okay?
Did she have an emergency? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:41):
I mean I think those are all legitimate concerns and
it would be very inconsiderated for her not to communicate
that with you.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
But who knows. Let's see if we can get her
on the phone. Good luck. Hello, Hi is this Lauren?

Speaker 5 (02:59):

Speaker 2 (03:27):
So he called us, and he's really puzzled. He has
no idea why when he got back from the bathroom,
you were gone. And he says he can't get a
hold of you. Now, we had no trouble getting a
hold of you, so he must be blocked or something.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
I mean, what happened? Why did you leave?

Speaker 5 (03:43):
He got up to go to the bathroom, and when
he did, I actually got a text from him and
it said, actually hold on giveness that all can pull
it up.

Oh he sent you a text from the bathroom. Why
he just couldn't stand away from you.
