(00:23):
about this woman page, how did you guys meet? Tell
us about any dates that you've gone on, and then
you know what's led to the ghosting here?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Why do you think you're being ghosted? I mean, that's.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
That's why I'm calling because I really don't know, and
this this really isn't like me. You know, I usually
can pick up on signs pretty well. I'm respectful, you know,
I understand that no means no, but I was.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I was really vibing with this bell Page.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Like I didn't even marry yet, and I was, I'll
be honest, I was getting ahead of myself because we
had so much in common.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
We're really flirting. We moved to text pretty quickly, so
I asked back to dinner and I had a great time.
I thought it was great again. You know, we revived
and the chemistry was there.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
We have so much in common, genuinely, like, and I
don't say this, I've.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Dated a lot. I actually saw a future with this girl.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Oh oh wow. Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
So after after meeting on a dating app and then
texting and then meeting in person, You're like, instantly, this
is it.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
When you know, you know, when the chemistry is you know, right.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
But I've been on enough dates and this was this
was like a real connection. So I've been rejected before,
but I called her, I texted her, you know, I
I waited a day and then tried to reach out
and nothing, like completely ghosted.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
And I just I've never felt.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Any anything like this where I felt.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
A connection half this connection.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Wow, I expect more and more of a response, but
to be completely ghosted after such a good Frankly, I
just I'm beside myself.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Our boy Ben over here, he is gushing.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
I mean, yeah, when you know he dropped the win,
you know, you know, yeah wow, Okay, So that's obviously
troubling that you you know, you thought this strongly about
this woman and then she hasn't said a word to
you since the date.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
So let's play one song. We're gonna come back.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
We're gonna call Page, We're gonna ask these questions on
your behalf. At some point you welcome a jumping on
the call, because you'll be on too. And the hope
here is that we can straighten things out and then
get you guys going on another date that we pay
for and then you know, hopefully right to the altar,
you know, and there's several kids and the white picket
fence and the whole thing, and we're hoping that for
you Ben, we'll see friends ordained, I am ordained. I'll
(02:41):
do it right now. I'll do it right now, and
the hammer can be the flower girl. Yeah, well, let's
call this woman now, Page to see if we can
straighten this out.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Good luck High is his page, I'll pay. Good morning.
My name is Fred.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
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.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I said, okay if we chat for a second.
Speaker 7 (03:10):
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Well, thank you so much for calling on behalf of
this guy named Ben. I guess you guys met on
Hinge recently and you went on a date. Do you
remember Ben?
Speaker 7 (03:20):
Yes? Yeah, I do remember Ben, and yes we had
made on hinge.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, So what's going on with this guy?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Because he reached out to us and we do this
thing where we try and figure out, you know, if
people have been ghosted and why. So what's going on
with him? Because he needlessly, i mean, was very excited
to meet you. I mean, he was outspoken about how
much he liked you. But he says that he hasn't
heard from you since the date.
Speaker 8 (03:44):
Oh gosh, yeah, yeah, I mean honestly, we had so
much fun we had we were vibing and things are
going really great.
Speaker 7 (03:54):
And but to me, he said something a little bit
odd and it kind of made me take a step
back a little bit.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Okay, what did he say?
Speaker 7 (04:04):
Well, this was towards the end of the day. We
were talking about, like we wanted to see each other
and see where things go. And that's when Ben's like,
just a warning, though, my sister is not going to
like you.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (04:19):
I was like what?
Speaker 8 (04:22):
And then he continued and said, like we're really close
and she gets extremely territorial and fellous of the women
that I date.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
But it's not personal. I just found it a.
Speaker 8 (04:34):
Little weird, and I honestly, once he said that, I
just didn't really want any part of that.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Yeah, I mean, I've heard about family being tough to convince,
you know, people become very protective big brothers, big sisters, whatever.
But I mean, that's that's kind of a disheartening thing
to say to somebody right off from the very beginning,
like hey, you're great, but my family's gonna hate you.
It's like, oh, okay, well that's then let me fall
more in love with you then, so that, you know,
let me really attach myself to you, so that I
could be you know, firmly rejected by the most important
(05:04):
people in your life.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
The jealous thing is weird too, you know, Yeah, you
know what I mean, Like, why jealous?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I have a jealous sister? You know, I forgot to
mention Paige that Ben is here. I'm very forgetful about
these matters. But Ben, why what is the relationship like
with your sister and why would you tell her that,
especially if you were that into her, like I would
think if you liked her that much, that you would
be selling all the positives and then you would just
go convince your sister, like this is it?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Hey bitch first of all, and yeah, that was just
a little weird.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
But I'm a little taken it back because honestly, I
felt like that was just kind of bantering. And yes,
like I'm very close to my sister. Yeah she's she's
incredibly protective of me. But I didn't think I was
telling tales out of school. Have you not dated with
sisters before?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Like this is?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
This is pretty I feel like this is pretty normal.
We have a close f you know, I come from
Ai Italian family, work close, They're in my business.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I'm in there.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It's yeah, but I feel like Ben, I mean it is,
it's not uncommon to have protective family members, but ultimately
they want you to be happy, and if you're happy,
and that's who you want aside from somebody being like
a bad human being, I would think that your family
would come around. I mean, I'm a protective older brother
and I wasn't convinced about the man who's going to
marry my sister, But ultimately, you know, I turned out
(06:24):
to my skepticism turned out to be sort of for
not because he's a great guy and and so he's
been accepted and then some I was just trying.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
To be transparent, like I really liked you, Paige. I
thought there was a vibe. So I was like, Hey,
there's a real chance you're going to meet my sister
and it's not me, it's my sister. But yeah, she's
she's she's.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Territorial, all right. She she's very cautious about why date.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Why date is my business and ultimately my decision, but
like she might, you know, she might really a little bit.
So I just wanted to just be fully transparent and
just put that out in the open before.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
It becomes an issue later down the blind.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
But I mean, I'm close with my family, you know,
that's all. That's all that means.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
Is this not an issue in the past like with
other women you've dated?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Like, is it has it been every single one? Has
she assaulted anyone before?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Right?
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Right?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I mean not physically? Yeah, I'll be honest.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yes, I got a little bit of a past, you know,
trauma from it being an issue in the past relationship.
She's been protective with every girl ever since, you know, high.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
School, and most of them are cool with it.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
But then you know, in my recent situation where they
weren't cool with it.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
It became a problem. So, yeah, I'm serious about someone, and.
Speaker 9 (07:34):
When I really like someone, I I just want to
I just want to give them the courtesy of the
transparency that like, yeah, my sister, I love her to death,
but she's a little crazy protective and it's something you
might have to navogate.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
It's kind of daunting, though, like to hear that from
the very beginning, like, oh, you got to go up
against this.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And and page.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I just kind of assumed that you had a good
time with this guy, but you're like, I don't really
know that I want to deal with this, Like I
don't really know that I want to become attached to
a guy that's gonna stimately reject me because of somebody
else's vote.
Speaker 8 (08:03):
Yeah. Yeah, it just makes me think like, well, we're
only on the first date, and let's just cut this
off like early, because I don't know.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
It just sounds to me like if this is.
Speaker 8 (08:17):
A reoccurring problem with multiple women, like you should probably
talk to your sister.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I mean, it's fine.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
All she requires is a lie detector, a full medical exam,
blood test, and background check, fingerprints. I mean, I don't
think that's too much to ask, right, not at all.
Speaker 10 (08:36):
No, I have all brothers, and like I understand being
a protective sister, but it sounds like your sister needs
to get a man. We need to find her a man.
It's not her brother, Yeah, right, ready to find her
something to do. Yeah, I'm not that crazy.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I don't know my sister loves me like I'm sorry
that that me and my family are a package deal.
I've hurt that line many times.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
It's not like I have a child. It's not like
I have you know, an ex lover? Have you ever had?
Are you allowed to have a lover? Is your sister
your lover? I don't know it.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah, it's very I mean again, it's it's sweet to
a certain extent, but when it starts to dictate, like
how you live your life, I think it's a little overbearing,
because ultimately it's your life to live, not hers. Protective
is one thing, possessive and controlling is another. That kind
of sounds like what we're up against you. But anyway, Paige,
would you consider another date with Ben? We'll pay for it,
(09:33):
you know, who knows. Maybe this is all for not again?
And and you meet the sister and she doesn't kill you.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
That's very sweet. Top of you all to pay, But
it's going.
Speaker 8 (09:46):
To be a no for me.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Okay who I'm sorry, that's no for Page. I'm sorry
it's not going to work out, but I do. I
wish you the best of luck with this challenge. Thank you,
Thank you, Page, thank good luck.
I've ever been left waiting by the phone. It's the
Fred Show. Hey Ben, good morning, welcome to the program.
How are you hey, I'm doing okay, okay, okay. So

us about any dates that you've gone on, and then
