Speaker 1 (00:07):
Hey Brianna, Hi, Hi Brianna, good morning, Welcome to the show.
I want to hear about this guy, Alex. Tell us
how you met, about any dates you've been on, and
then where things are now.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Yeah, so we met like everyone does on in Bumble,
and we grabbed drinks. Honestly, it was great. I felt
like I could really talk to him about anything. I
was really looking forward to seeing him again, you know.
But after the date, he literally never reached out to me.
(00:37):
I have no idea what happened.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Really, Okay, so you look back on this date and
you felt like the conversation was good. I mean, these
are all the questions I always ask. But there was chemistry.
I mean, you know, oh my god, yeah, you look
like your pictures. He looked like his. I mean, I'm
trying to think of all the things that usually go
wrong with these dating app dates. I mean, a normal
date in by every definition.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Like, nothing was weird. We were flirty, I had a
really good time. So I'm just like confused why he
just wouldn't at least like text me. You know.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yeah, and you mentioned in the note you mentioned that,
you know, there was a kind of a in my words,
but a comfort in the communication. Like you, guys, you
really felt like you could talk to him about anything,
and and there was just a natural nature to it
all you said, it.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Was like it was, it felt very easy. We definitely
had it like a connection.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Okay, except you haven't heard a word from this guy
since to date. Have you reached out to him at
all or are you just waiting for him, you know,
as the man, as the gentleman to reach out to
ask you out.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Well, I was.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Waiting at first, but then a couple of days went by,
so I did text him and nothing. He didn't respond.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Okay, so he's ghosting you, it would appear. But here's
the thing. We're gonna call this guy Alex. You'll be
on the phone at the same time. We're going to
ask these questions on your behalf, try and figure out
what's going on you the guy. There could be some
other explanation. Maybe he does want to see you again.
And if that's the case, then we're going to set
you up on that date and pay for it.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Okay, oh my god, it I would love that.
Speaker 1 (02:06):

One hundred bucks in the showdown on the Fred Show.

is yours in about ten minutes. Hey, Brianna, Right, all right,
let's call this guy Alex. You met on one of
the dating apps and you, guys, you felt like you connected.
It was bumble that you met on and then you
went on this date and you felt like you connected
in person. You were attracted to him, You felt like
(02:34):
that was mutual. The conversation was flowing, there was a comfort,
there was I mean a lot of good things happen
on this date. Except you haven't heard from this guy.
You've reached out to him, he hasn't responded to you.
So it would appear that you're being ghosted.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I mean, I'm one hundred percent being ghosted. I just
don't know why.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
All right, Well, let's call Alex now and try and
figure this out.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Good luck, Brianna, thank you. Hello, Hi is this Alex?
This is him Alex. Good morning. My name is Fred.
I'm calling from the Fred's Show. The morning radio show,
and I do have to tell you that we are
on the radio right now and I would need your
permission to continue with the call. Said, Okay, if with
(03:13):
chat for just a second on the show, you can
hang up anytime. A sure, sure, Well, thank you very much.
We're calling on behalf of a woman named Brianna who
says she met you on Bumble, the dating app, and you,
guys recently went out on a date to you remember meeting.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Her, Yeah, I remember. Okay, he's pretty cool. She's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Well, okay, I guess that's better than I was expecting,
because you know, we just talked to her and she
told us about your date and had a lot of
nice things to say about you and felt like there
was good chemistry and all kinds of things. Except she
says she can't get a hold of you since the date,
So why are you not reaching out? Why are you
not responding? I mean, you know, if she was cool,
then what's the problem?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
She?
Speaker 5 (03:55):
I mean, yeah, she was cool. She's not wrong about
the date. The date was really good. I was actually
really into her, But it was during the date that
she said something to me that was a little concerning.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Well, do tell. I mean, I'm on the edge of
my seat. What did she tell you that was concerning?
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Okay? She told me that she feels like she might
be asexual. I was pretty sure I knew what that meant,
but I.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Had to ask her just in case, and she.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Confirmed, like it means that she's you're not sexually attracted
to anyone.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
So what am I supposed to do with that?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Like?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Why was I even there? Well, I'm okay, hopefully.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
For more than just can I just say something?
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Like?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
All right, well, can I just say something?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It is Brianna Alex. I forgot to mention that Brianna
is here. I'm extremely forgetful. I'm sorry about that. I
was going to try and get some more information, but
uh yeah, Brianna, go ahead and say something. You can
say something. What what does it mean when you tell?
I mean, I think we all know. We think we
know at least when you tell a man on a
date that you're asexual. How is he supposed to interpret that?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Okay? But I didn't actually say I was asexual. I
said like I might be asexual. And I only said
that because, like we were both sharing things, and like
I just I felt really comfortable sharing that with him,
but now he's judging me for it, So I really
just I don't think that that's fair.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Okay, But here's the thing, Brianna. If I'm Alex, you
can tell me if I'm wrong. But if I want
a date with you and we have chemistry and we're
attracted to each other, even if that's not going to happen,
date one right away, right now, across the table, you know,
on the dinner table. I mean, what I'm hearing you
say is I may not be a sexual person and
so this relationship might not include that or a lot
(05:35):
of that, and I don't I don't know. I can
see how if I first met someone, if I'm being
really honest, I mean, you'd like to believe, well, it's
more than that.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
But I mean, if the only.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Thing you care about is sex, then I guess.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
That's not what I said.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
That's not what he said either, But I mean I
can understand why you're on this date. You're like, okay,
so wait a minute, so that's never happening, then I guess,
or not a lot that's like.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Not answer at all, is just so rude, Like I
was reaching out, What.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Are you thinking? My thing is, it's fine a prey
a sexual. But my thing is, like.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
I don't that's not all I care about is sex.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
But eventually a natural progression of a relationship.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Will lead down that road.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
I think that's there, Like you know, I just at
that point, I'm like, well, for me, that's a natural
progression of a relationship a sexual that's fine.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
I'm not asexual. I'm a sexual being. I'm not a
sexual being. See here's the thing, And I don't know
enough about this. Maybe there are people who are a
sexual who can straighten us out. But I would guess
an asexual person would be best suited with another asexual
person because my you know, just my my naive. Maybe
it's naevia table, but I would think that if one
(06:45):
person is a sexual person and the other ones not,
that's going to be very frustrating for probably both sides, right,
because you got one person that wants to do that,
the other person that doesn't, So you're probably both annoyed.
So how would that work, Brianna, if in fact you
are not as interest.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Or at all.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I mean I never said I wasn't interested. I'm the
one that's going out of their way to figure out
what happened. So like, I never said I wasn't interested.
I was just sharing a part of myself that I
thought would have been accepted considering we weren't talking about
each other's lives. I know better now, well share no
(07:25):
much of myself until later.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
No, I don't think anyone's saying that, Brianna. I think
that there's if you do say that, then there's a
chance it's going to be interpreted a good chance the
way that I think everybody here has interpreted it, and
it might not. I mean, it might need a little
further explanation. Because again, if you're someone who likes an
activity and someone else says I'm just not into that activity,
well I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
You know, you just.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Didn't say I wasn't into the activity of sex. I
just said that I might be a sexual. There's a difference.
And the thing is he doesn't know the difference. And okay,
that's fine, but I like to just not respond or
not reach out at all. It's just it's childish.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
But if I say to you, Brionna, I don't even
know why I'm trying to defend this somebody. If I
say to you, I might be a vegetarian, that might
indicate to other people that I don't eat a lot
of meat, you know, I mean, And then you might say,
you know, well, I I mean again, and that's not
a reason not to go out with somebody. But like,
if I'm beginning to feel that I might be, you know,
fall under a particular, you know, sort of description, well,
(08:31):
then that might indicate that my activity is leading in
that direction. So for you to say to me out loud,
like I think I'm a sexual. If I'm listening to that,
not knowing anything, not having any context, what I'm hearing
is you're you haven't wanted to do that as much.
I think that's a fair thing to rest your boundaries, right,
I think it's a fair conclusion to draw. So I
(08:52):
don't think it's don't say it. I think it's if
that's who you are, then that's all good, but it
may not be for everybody.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Yeah, I mean, I just don't say. I just don't
think we're gonna get We're not going to be on
the same page. So I just don't think we're going
to get anything out of this.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Okay, Yeah, that's what we're saying.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, said he could have and he could have told
you why. I do hear that part of it, but
I do understand why he would be hesitant.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
We gieky I look on your phone. I'm with him.
He said this like, I mean, she's wild. I don't
know the words.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I feel like we're all saying the same thing. But
yet there's an argument. So I don't know. Look, Alex,
I'm gonna ask the question, do you would you be
interested in going out with her again? Maybe have a
further conversation about this. Maybe we all have the wrong impression.
Maybe by definition she's not using the right word or
not describing it properly, or we don't understand.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
So would you want to give another chance? We'll pay
for it. No.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
At this point, I don't really enjoy her argument style.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
So you know two things?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Oh okay, is there an argument style that people do like?
Speaker 5 (10:02):
No?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
No, yeah, Brianna, is anyone there, Alex? Are you there?
I'm here?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
I mean, maybe that's her argument style.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Just hang up on us? Did I guess she hung
up on us? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I did this for her and then she's the one
who hangs up. All right, Look, Alex, I'm sorry, I
don't know if you want to go on a date
with someone else, we'll pay for it.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I'm tired. I don't know Alex.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I guess that said good luck to both of you, guys,
but since she's not here, then only good luck to you.
