Speaker 1 (00:02):
I've ever been left waiting by the phone.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's the Fred Show. Hi Christina, good morning, how are you?
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Good morning?
Speaker 4 (00:10):
Uh, you know I'm doing okay, just you know, just
a little confused in my dating life.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
I guess, right right, Okay, Well that's what we're here for.
Why don't you tell us about this guy Alex? How
did you meet? I want to hear about any dates
that you've been on, and then you know what's happening
right now.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
So I met this.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Guy Alex on Hinge and you know, after we matched,
we did talk for a few days until he finally
asked me out, you know, for drinks, and that actually
turned into dinner, which was you know, which was nice.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
You know.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
For some reason though, Alex kind of stopped responding to me,
and I don't really know if I have any more
energy for any more first dates. So I guess I'm
calling because I you know, i'd like you to figure
out what's going on with this one. I really don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Okay, So you really thought everything went really well and
I always ask these questions, but you know, you look
back on the date, the conversation was good, there was chemistry,
you felt like, you know, the back and forth was
going on, and the whole thing nothing awkward, nothing, nothing weird.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Yeah, I mean I really.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Thought back to the entire like date night. The conversations
were easy and breezy. You know, we laughed a little
bit here and there, food and drinks were good, and
you know, overall, I just felt like we enjoyed each
other's company. So that's why I'm kind of sitting over
here like, well, why are you leaving me on read?
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, And look, I say this all the time about
the dating apps because I've been on and off them forever.
When you meet someone and you feel a certain kind
of way, you know, and they and they feel it
feels different from the other matches and there's actual chemistry,
because that's something you can't gauge on the dating apps, right,
is if there's going to be in person chemistry. So
when you go out with someone and then you sense that,
then you know you you were hoping that goes someplace exactly.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Yeah, you know, this entire dating world on the apps
has really just turned a lot of us off to
the concept of even dating and being in a relationship.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, well, let's call this guy Alex, you're gonna be
on the phone at the same time. We're going to
ask these questions for you. If we can get a
hold of him, and you know, the hope is always
is that we can figure out what's up, straighten it out,
set you guys up on another date, and then we'll.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Pay for that.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
All right, that sounds good on my end.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Let's see what's going on?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Part two of waiting him at the phone right after
Sabrina Carpenter back in two minutes.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Don't move.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
It's the Fread Show Live anytime. Also on the iHeart
app search for the Fred Show on demand. And if
you would make us the number one preset on the
app because there are reports going to suits, we'd appreciate it.
Thank you, Christina. Yeah, okay, let's call Alex. You guys
met on one of the dating apps. You went in
a date. You felt like the chemistry was good, the
back and forth was good, you were attracted to him,
(02:36):
you got the vibe he was into you. The problem
is you haven't heard from this guy since that date,
and it's bugging you. You've been thinking a lot about
it and you want to know what happened, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Yeah, exactly. I just don't like the lack. Okay, let's
call him now, good luck.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Hi is this Alex?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah, this is Alex Alex.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Hi, good morning. My name is Fred. I'm calling from
the Fred's Show, the Morning radio Show. I have to
tell you that we are on the radio right now.
I would need your permission to Yeah, I need your
permission to continue with the call. Is that cool for
cheat for just a second?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Oh yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Okay, Well, thank you for calling on behalf of a
woman who reached out to us. Her name is Christina,
and I guess you recently went on a date after
matching on one of the apps.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
You remember her?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Oh yeah, I remember?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Okay, good, So what happened? Because she just got done
telling us that she liked you and was attracted to
you and thought the date went well and all these things,
but says she hasn't heard from you since then. You
haven't called her, texted it or responded or anything like that.
So what happened? What's not?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Nothing? Too much? The day was just pretty good and
then like I don't know, she did something that made
me feel kind of weird. So basically, like throughout the
whole date. She was like, at first there was something
like a napkin, she'd stick it in her purr. So
then like she was like a spoon she's stucking in
her purrs, a menu she's stuck in perr, and like
I didn't know if she was like a kleptomaniac or something.
(04:03):
But eventually I finally brought up to her and then
she's like, Oh, I'm just saving a bunch of stuff
from our first date in case we end up getting
married someday. I'm not ready to think about marriage at all.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah, so I stole them to marry you.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
She stole them any in case you guys got married,
and somehow, I don't know, she could like give it
to your children that you're gonna have.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Yeah, yes, you know, so they could know what the
soup special was, you know, on a first date. Like
I don't know, it just kind of spooked me, like
it wasn't a big deal, but yeah, it was just
like it seemed like she's pretty eager to, you know,
jump into marriage or something.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
So like I've heard about people doing this, by the way,
I've heard about people keeping like that, you know, the
concert ticket stub or the some sort of momento, but
they do it quietly. They're not that obvious about it,
because it's like one of those things where later then
you give it to them and it's like, oh my gosh,
that was so sweet that you collected all this stuff.
But then if it doesn't work out, they never know
you did it right. But this woman just doing it
(04:58):
right in front of you. So someday, if you get married,
she can give you back the spoon that she ate from.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, I mean you'd have to ask her her train
of thought on that, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
All right, well, good, hey, good news because I can
Christina is here. I forgot Yeah, I forgot to mention
that part.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I'm very I'm often very forgetful with these things. Christina,
is this what happened? You were saving things from the
date so that you could I don't know, like as
a as a momento.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
I mean, honestly, I didn't really think about that as
like a red flag on my end.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Eventually, you know, one of the first date.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
We'll not say little things just in case, you know,
I mean, for.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
What purpose exactly? Like so like, remember the menu here,
it is from years ago when we met. I mean,
is that a scrap book. Yeah, right, are you keeping
a scrap book? Are you keep is it like for
evidence purposes? Like, what are we doing?
Speaker 4 (05:52):
No, it's just like, you know, the relationship will move
forward eventually, someday, you know, we could be husband and
wife and it would just be nice to have a
see little mementos from our first date where you know,
things got you know, our relationships have started essentially.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Okay, No, because I really have heard about this. I've
heard about guys who keep little things early on and
then later they're like, hey, look, and then they give
it to the person in some form of yeah, like
a scrap book or something, and it usually comes off
sweet if you're really into the person. But again, if
it winds up going you know, falling flat, then you
(06:27):
throw the stuff away. It's like it never happened. I
have heard this. I've heard of guys doing it for girls.
I haven't heard it the other way around. But you're saying,
Alex that this was at first You're like, I think
she's a thief, which we've had that before. By the way,
I'm waiting by the phone when people are stealing, like
the Catchup and the Saltan Pepper shakers for I guess
their personal use or something. But you're saying it just
(06:47):
kind of freaks you out because she's ten steps ahead
of you.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Yeah, at the end of the day, like it's not
necessarily about you know, taking this stuff. It's just like,
you know, we've literally just met and like somehow on
our first date, you know, conversation gets turned to talking
about marriage. Like that's just on any first date. I
don't think you should use the M word at all.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I would think that's probably pretty safe. Yeah, I mean, Christina,
can you see how this might have looked to somebody
who's just getting to know you, might be a little
easily spooked about the commitment thing, doesn't even know your
you know last name?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I mean not, no, not really.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I honestly I do this on every first date I have,
just in case, and honestly, I like, you really shouldn't
feel so special about that. You're not the first guy.
I do that too.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
How many how many second dates do you get?
Speaker 4 (07:34):
I mean, depending on the guy, I you know, you
a little bit here and there. I wouldn't say, like
my rate is one hundred percent overall.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
But who is?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
How many menus do you have at I mean, do
you even have to look up, you know, like what's
eat anymore?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
I'm just cared. I'm just wondering.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
No, No, I mean again, I would say I give
date the normal amount. And I really don't think it's
a huge deal that I like to keep things from
you know, things that can potentially matter to me down
in the future. And yeah, I've been out on second
dates and honestly, this is the first time that anyone
has actually said anything to me about, you know, taking
(08:14):
the mentors from our first game. So Alex, you're you're
starting to feel like you're really special here.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
But one I know, yeah, I don't know that we
need to necessarily diss the man. I mean, you know,
this is what you chose to do, and and you
announced it, and the guy spooked, and he has a
right to that. I mean, that's not uncommon early on
in relationships that people if you're already indicating a level
of seriousness, that that person isn't necessarily prepared to, you know,
(08:46):
accept because they don't know you that well. So I
don't know if it's the taking of the men you
per se. I think it's the fact that you're like, well,
we might get married some days walking. I mean, we're
halfway through the date. I don't I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
There's so many restaurants out there though, that are like
missing right that.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah right, yeah, a lot of places.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Wonder where there's spoons and silver but this economy. Yeah, okay, look,
so I'll ask the question, Alex. I think I know
the answer, but I'm required to ask you. Would you
like to go out with Christina again if she leaves
all of the restaurant's items at the restaurant?
Speaker 3 (09:20):
No, like, after this awkwardness, and like I think it
says the best. You know, we go our separate way.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Thank you, dude, Seriously, you are not special.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
So you have to stop.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
We you know, we we were clear he was special
when we did all this other stuff, but then about
halfway through the call, he became unspecial, right.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Yeah, I was special enough to steal a spoon for come.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
On, she does that for everyone.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Okay, yeah, no, and it's it's petty. That's petty theft
or something that's a misdemeanor at least Okay.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
That she may not be, but I'm spoonman baby.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Okay, Well anyway, yeah, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Spoon Man.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I'm not sure about that one, but Christina get back
on the app spoon Man's taken. I guess I don't know.
That was weird all right. Anyway, good luck for both
of you guys. Thank you for your time. The Entertainmer

it is from years ago when we met. I mean,
is that a scrap book. Yeah, right, are you keeping
a scrap book? Are you keep is it like for
evidence purposes? Like, what are we doing?
Speaker 4 (05:52):
No, it's just like, you know, the relationship will move
forward eventually, someday, you know, we could be husband and

the Catchup and the Saltan Pepper shakers for I guess
their personal use or something. But you're saying it just
(06:47):
kind of freaks you out because she's ten steps ahead

How many menus do you have at I mean, do
you even have to look up, you know, like what's
eat anymore?

I'm just cared. I'm just wondering.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
No, No, I mean again, I would say I give
date the normal amount. And I really don't think it's
a huge deal that I like to keep things from
you know, things that can potentially matter to me down
in the future. And yeah, I've been out on second
dates and honestly, this is the first time that anyone

Speaker 4 (08:56):
There's so many restaurants out there though, that are like
missing right that.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah right, yeah, a lot of places.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Wonder where there's spoons and silver but this economy. Yeah, okay, look,
so I'll ask the question, Alex. I think I know
the answer, but I'm required to ask you. Would you
like to go out with Christina again if she leaves
all of the restaurant's items at the restaurant?
Speaker 3 (09:20):
No, like, after this awkwardness, and like I think it
says the best. You know, we go our separate way.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Thank you, dude, Seriously, you are not special.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
So you have to stop.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
We you know, we we were clear he was special
when we did all this other stuff, but then about
halfway through the call, he became unspecial, right.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Yeah, I was special enough to steal a spoon for come.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
On, she does that for everyone.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Okay, yeah, no, and it's it's petty. That's petty theft
or something that's a misdemeanor at least Okay.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
That she may not be, but I'm spoonman baby.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Okay, Well anyway, yeah, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Spoon Man.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I'm not sure about that one, but Christina get back
on the app spoon Man's taken. I guess I don't know.
That was weird all right. Anyway, good luck for both
of you guys. Thank you for your time. The Entertainmer
