Nation's never been left waiting by the phone.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
It's the Fred Show. Meg, good morning, welcome to the program.
How are you Hi?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Good morning, I'm good, How are you you?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
And all right?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
What's going on with this guy Seth? This is, of
course waiting by the phone. We're trying to figure out
if you've been ghosted. It feels like you've been ghosted.
You think I got to know though, how you met,
about any dates that you've been on, and then where
things are now?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Sure, I honestly think this is probably some sort of
weird misunderstanding, so I'm hoping we can work it out.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I met Seth on Hinge and he's a really great guy.
We had a lot in common and we just hit
it off. We went on two dates.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
They were great, Like I had the they're probably the
best dates I've ever been on, Like I had the
best time. I really felt connected to him, Like it
just felt like we were on the same page. So
I definitely expected to have a third date, but he
like disappeared, So I don't know, it feels like something.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
It just doesn't make sense to me. I feel like
something must have happened, and like we've got to reconnect
because I can't imagine that I'm actually ghosted from someone
that I connected that well with.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Interesting, So this is a two date ghost. We hear
a lot about one date, and then you don't hear
from the person.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Wish I am.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
We've had this debate many times, whether you really owe
somebody anything after a first date, Like do I really
need to call you after one date and explain to
you why I don't like you?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Like I don't know, but two dates, maybe three, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
But here you are really confused because you like this
guy and you don't see a problem, and then he
goes away and you can't get a hold of him,
and it's like that, hold on a minute, Well, we
on two different day or you know what happened.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yeah, it just doesn't make sense me.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Like I said, like, these are the best dates I've
probably ever been on. So it's clear to me that
he didn't call, he didn't reach out like I tried
texting him, nothing like.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
It just doesn't I don't know, like what happened. It
went so well, I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Okay, well that's where we come in. We're gonna play
a song, come back, call Seth. You'll be on the phone.
We're gonna ask these questions on your behalf. And the
hope is always is that we can straighten things out
and set you guys up on another date and pay
for that.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
All right, I look forward to that. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Hey Meg, Hey, welcome back. Let's call Seth.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
You guys actually went on two dates and you felt
like both dates went really well. I believe that you said.
I want to make sure I get this right. These
were the best two dates that you've ever been on.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yes, they really were.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Which is interesting because you go from two of the
best dates ever and not hearing from this guy.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
So where is the disconnect? Right?
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Yeah, I don't understand, like there had there been something
that came up like I just can't imagine anything actually
ghosting me ghosting.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
All right, we let's see if we can figure this out.
We're gonna call Seth right now. Good luck, Meg, Thank
you so much much.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I can't wait to talk to him. Thank you.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Hi's is Seth?
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (03:18):
Yeah, this is Seth mask A calling Hi.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
You certainly may Seth. Well, we're so polite, may I asked?
My name is Fred. I'm calling for the Fred Show,
the morning radio show, and I have to tell you
that we are on the radio right now, and I
would need your permission to continue with the call. Can
we chat for just a second on the year. You
can hang up at any time, okay, yea, yeah, sure,
I know it. I know it's a little bit weird
to get a call like this, but we're calling on
(03:41):
behalf of someone named Meg, a woman named Meg who
reached out to us as she went on two dates
with you.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I hope you remember her?
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Yeah, okay, yeah, I do, all right.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Kind of a standard kind of a standard answer for
something that may have gone awry. What happened with her?
Because we spoke with her for a little while. She
had great things to say about you and about the
two dates that you went on, and she seems surprised
that she hasn't heard from you.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Can't get a hold of you. What's your side of
the story.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Oh my goodness, Okay, she said it was awesome. That's
I mean, that's school. That's flattering. I guess I.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Believe if I'm correct about this, she said it was
these are the two best dates she's ever been on.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Yep, wow, okay, and you don't feel the same way.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Well, I mean.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Kind of half and half.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
But uh, I guess I'm sure there were some details
she probably left out. I guess I'll tell my side
of the story. Then drinks for great had a great
time obviously.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
If I want one to go on a second date.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
And then we had a great time.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
But the second time we hung out, she invited me
out to a holiday party. And that's when things took
a tight.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
With this took a strong turn, all right. Why so
she invited me out to she said she called it
her a friend's holiday party. She's like, okay, cool, Yeah,
you know, that's that sounds fun.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Hanging out a little bit.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
There's probably some food, some drinks and have a good times.
The first day was great, Like, honestly, I loved it,
And when I got there, I started realizing pretty quickly
that this was more of a family party, which obviously
took me by a total surprise. Like I'm thinking we're
(05:35):
gonna be hanging out with friends and instead, like her
mom and dad were there, brothers and sisters, cousins, family friends.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
So this is a second yeah, and you're meeting everybody,
I mean literally everybody.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Yeah, But like that's not even the worst part of it. Like,
as the night went on, I realized she must have
been telling people that we were in their relationship for
a while.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
And this is only the second date.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I mean it would have been I think it would
have been bold to go to a friend party on
a second date, Like that's a lot to ask of
somebody that you've only gone on one day with. But
this was family, and so they're treating you like you're
the boyfriend.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
Yeah, I mean I'm like, honestly, I felt I felt bad,
so I went along with it.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
So I didn't want to embarrass her.
Speaker 6 (06:21):
I'm not that type of person to do that and
just stand her up like that would.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Have been terrible. But as I was going along with it.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
I was telling myself like I would never talk to
the scroll again because that's it's kind of insane.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, it's like, what is she? What does she think
this is? After one date? What is she telling people?
And here to tell us more is Meg? Because I
forgot to mention that megus here. I want to bring
her in. I'm very forgetful. I get caught up in
the story.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Meg.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Did you did you bring him to a party with
your parents and siblings and tell them that you were
in a committed relationship?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I mean, you listen, high seth. We had a really
great time. I did. I did in write you to
a party and I didn't have two friends there, so
it wasn't like, you know, a lie.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Okay, But in.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Fairness, hold on, no, Meg, I need you to answer
the question did you tell them that that was your boyfriend?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I mean, I I.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Think everyone you know dreads a lot of questions when
they're single during the holidays, so, like you know, sometimes
you just say things to get people off your back.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
It wasn't really a big.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Deal though, but you got to tell Okay, if that's
what you're doing, you got to tell him that, like
he needs to be in on it, right, Like if
if that's if it's a strategy, if it's a gimmick
just simply so that people stop asking you questions, then
you got to be like, hey, this is what I'm
thinking about. First of all, we're going to a family party,
and second of all, I'm telling these people you're my boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I think it didn't do that because.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
You know that that was a great but I think
you also know that it would sounds a little aggressive
and he probably wouldn't have been into it.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
I mean maybe I just you know, it was just
to me, it was just a fun party.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
We were having fun. He had a good time. He
went along with it, so like he clearly like he
was picking up on it. I thought it was so cute.
I was like, wow, we're just like so like in sync,
Like he gets me.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I think he did that to be a kind person
because he didn't want to embarrass you in front of everybody.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Embarrassing I mean, like we had such a fun time.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
But you're not in a relationship.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Okay, but like we but we were just having fun.
Speaker 8 (08:19):
It's in a line you do understand, it's not it's
not really a lie.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I mean I mean, that's a really that's a stretch.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Are you in a relationship with this man?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
I mean we're dating, aren't we?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
We've been on dat, you went on AI, you went
on you, you were you were a dater. I mean
one time people were hey, Meg, one date like that
doesn't One date does not necessitate or or mean a
committed relationship. Like that's a very difficult to.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Put a committed relationship right off the bat. I was
just having fun, Like we all just want to get
through the holidays, don't we Like our families, there's so
much pressure on a Like let's just let's just like
enjoy it. We had a good time and like, let's
make some more memories together. Like, I don't know why
this is getting like so blown out of.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Whose side are you on?
Speaker 8 (09:11):
I feel bad for her because I've been in this
position where family puts.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
This pressure on you.
Speaker 8 (09:16):
Like, girl, I'm out here living dreams and you're talking
to me about a man.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Okay, Like it's you know they always do that. What
two things can be true? You really do two things
that can.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Be true, And you can also bring a man into
a situation that he didn't know about.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Yeah, you don't do a ski, apparently a life that
he's unaware of.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
At least you could have done is given him a
heads up about what you did so that he can
choose whether he wants to walk into that or not.
And then he knows how to answer the questions and
he doesn't feel cornered. But you didn't do that, and
so now the guys thinks you're crazy.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Oh my gosh, no, listen, I get like, okay, I
could have told him, but like he went along with
it and it went so well, like mom, you love him,
my family loves him, Like it was great.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Have you never met been in a situation where you
you went along with it just to get out of it?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I guess so.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
But like I felt like going along with it showed
like how instync we were, Like he read my mind,
Like we just had like such a good time.
Speaker 8 (10:12):
He was trying to survive sis, like he didn't he
didn't know what you were capable of.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
It's like thriving.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
It felt like driving to me. I don't know, I
don't see.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
It that way. All right, Well, look is that really wait?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Is that really?
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Like?
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Is that was that really a problem?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I think telling your family that you're in a relationship
with a man that you went on one day with
and not telling him that for him to be the
only one in the room that doesn't know is a problem.
But Sethil asked the question, I mean you did like
the first date the second thing? She I don't fully
believe that she was just doing this as a gimmick,
because I think she would have let you in on it.
But would you like to go out with her again
(10:48):
a third date? We try this, maybe you know, dinner,
we don't invite mom and dad and Mema and you know,
and the siblings and nieces in half years and you know,
maybe we don't have a family reunion on the third
date and we see what happens.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Would you like to try?
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Man? Honestly, no, I'm sorry, Meg, I can't do really.
Speaker 8 (11:08):
Oh you already tell the family you're supposed to get married.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
When's the wedding that he doesn't know about?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
You know what?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Being so silly? But we had a good connection.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Are we being silly? I mean, I think we're just
being realistic.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
But uh so the roles reversed, you wouldn't have a
problem with this, Meg, I mean you go to seth
for a second day, he takes you to his parents' house,
he introduces you as his girlfriend. I mean, you wouldn't
and you didn't know anything about it, you wouldn't have
any issue with that.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I mean, if we're still connecting and having a good
time and vibing like you know what, that's dating like
different now, you know, so you got to just like
embrace what you got.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Hey, dating might be different.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
You just got to make sure everybody who's dating in
this situation knows what where we're at.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I think the biggest issue here with Seth was unaware
that he was your boy.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
I mean, I hear you like it was like a problem.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
I mean, but you know what I thought, since we
had so much fun, it wasn't a big deal.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Okay, Well, hey, you seem like a nice person. Meg.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I think you jumped the gun here. I'll ask one
more time, because I don't dislike Meg. I just think
I think that was that was we we jumped to
conclusions here a little bit. But Seth, one more time,
I'll ask, do you want to go out with her again?
We'll pay for it.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
I'm sorry, I need to pass.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Okay, he's not gonna do it. Hey, now, oh my gosh,
her surprise is a little what's a little concerning. I
haven't shocked every time she convinced herself. I think she did.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I really you know what, you meet people and you
have a connection with them, and you're like, you know,
this is special, this is something different, you know, and.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
It's a shame.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
It's a shame when that's not reciprocated. But my issue
here is that it might have been if we hadn't
created this, this fantasy world that we weren't quite living
in yet.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Yeah no, I hear, I hear really problem. Like I'm
sorry that it was a problem.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
But I mean, yeah, wow, receptive.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I don't Normally people are totally Delulu. They're like, I
know you're talking about She says, be aware. All right, Look,
I hope things work out for you, Seth. Thank you,
br Answering. I wish you the best as well.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Yeah, thank you.
