First Date follow Up powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys
online at Advocates Law dot com.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Elliott is on the phone today for a first date
follow up. He's getting ghosted by a woman named Zoe Elliott.
Before we get into why you think you're getting ghosted
and stuff, how long has it been since you heard
from Zoe?
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Uh, several weeks?
Speaker 4 (00:20):
And in that time, how how many times did you
try to reach out to her?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Oh? Only really twice?
Speaker 5 (00:26):
You know, I did the follow up after a data
followed up the next day, and then you're back, and
then I waited.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Sometime later in the week.
Speaker 5 (00:34):
I texted her one more time and it was like, hey,
you know, it's checking in something.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I forgot what I said and then I left it.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
You know, I know there's more times you attacked the
last chance you have ever seen that person again?
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Kind of tell us about your date with Zoe.
Speaker 6 (00:48):
Yeah, so we were set up between mutual friends.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
And I've always wanted to go indoor skydiving.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
Well, actually I've always want to go outdoors toe kai diving,
but I thought i'd start. She thought it sounded fun,
and we did it, and it turns out she was
actually really nervous about height, so she may have it
may have been a reluctant yet that I couldn't read
through text.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
So we didn't do much it and then we just
went to a restaurant and had good conversation.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
I thought we clicked and uh, and then I dropped
her off to her house, you know, no intimacy and uh,
haven't heard back.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
How did she handle the skydiving part, even though like
she wasn't a huge fan? Was she freaking out? Did
she do it anyway? Was she cheering you on?
Speaker 5 (01:33):
No, she she was freaking out, But I thought it
was like a fun freaking out, like you know, like
you're nervous before doing something. But then I think, as
as we did as I you know, I learned she
wasn't into it at all, and I didn't intend to
make her do something she didn't want to do it,
you know, so I misread it.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I guess you'd think that that wouldn't be something that
would be a deal breaker, though necessarily I don't know.
You know, would it be a deal breaker for you
if a guy took you indoor skydiving and then you
found out you absolutely hated the experience.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
I want to say yes off the bat. However, it
reminds me of the time where I don't do bridge jumping.
I don't do any of that kind of stuff. I
get scared. So there was a guy that I was with,
we were all on vacation in Mexico, and he's like,
come on, just do it because I never would have
done it otherwise. But I did it because he made
me do it, and I was so thankful. Really yeah, okay,
so it ended up being a good thing because he
(02:23):
made me face my fears, So you know, it could
be a good thing.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
I should also add that I'm that I'm kind of
hoping that that that's the reason, because I forgot to
mention him also divorced, and that definitely came up during
our dinner.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Conversation, and you know, that could potentially be a reason you.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Were set up through friends. So she didn't know you
were divorced before the date.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I don't know you knew before, and but we talked
about it during dinner.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
It's a lot for a person to handle, I think,
but if you communicate all of those things really well,
then it's you can you know, you can digest it.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
I mean, if you don't mind me asking since it
started been like three weeks, is there any like reason
you really really.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Want to get a hold of her and out like
it's been a hot minute.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
You're not.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
You're not wrong, No, you're not. That's a good question, Victoria.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Yeah, I guess I've been in my shell since the divorce,
and so this is like my first coming out of
shell moment, and so you're probably right.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I probably shouldn't be so focused on it, but I am.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
But also the upside, even if you are focused on it,
whether you end up dating her again, at least you'll
know what the situation and issue was as you continue
to move forward post divorce life, right, Sure, that's true
all positive spin guys.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, because getting back to the dating world after a
divorce has to be difficult.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Well, yeah, I mean I've been, I've been, you know,
I haven't done it or even really suit it.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
And so you know, I was nervous about that.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
The pony has been in the stable for a long time,
and the pony is just learning to get out and
run again and just.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Wants to run wild. I mean all the other part
of it too. I will say, for her to find
out that the pony needs to run wild. It's like, well,
maybe she wants to put a pony in a stable,
and so if she's meeting a wild horse, yeah, rather
have a tame one. What the hell are you talking
about a little loss?
Speaker 3 (04:14):
How are you talking about sky I mean, I guess
that sums me up. It's like we didn't go skydiving,
and we went indoors.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
All right, Elliott, the big pony, we're gonna do. We're
gonna play a song, come back and then call her
and see if we can figure it out for you
and maybe get you another date if you still want
one after hear why okay, alrighty, all right, we'll play
a song, come back and get your first date follow
up next. I'm personally excited to watch the pony run
(04:44):
to watch Elliott, who's on the phone right now for
a first date follow up, get out of the stable
and let his that the hair whip through his mane
as he runs down an open field seeing if he
can get another date with Zoe, who's ghostinging Elliott, just
refresh everybody's memory of your situation, BEFO before we give
our call.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Yeah, so we're friends of friends, so we were introduced
that way and I thought it'd be fun to go
into skydiving.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Turns out she was really nervous about it and didn't
like it.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
So part of me is like, maybe that's why she's
ghost to me, or it's it's the fact that I'm divorced.
But we had a really nice dinner together afterward, and
I haven't heard since.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
All.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Right, here we go.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I'm a dollar phone number right now and we'll see
if we can figure it out for you. Hello, I
may speak to Zoe.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Please.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yeah, hey, Zoe, how are you? My name is Jewble
from a radio show called The Jewbil Show.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
I'm Nina, I'm Victoria. I'm also on the show.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
So many people here.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah, there's three of us on the phone right now,
and we're calling you because one of our listeners actually
sent us an email about you. So we need to
ask you a question.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
If that's okay.
Speaker 7 (05:57):
Oh no, I'm nervous.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Should I be nervous?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
I don't think So.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
We're on the phone because one of our because we
do a segment called the First Date follow Up, where
if somebody goes on a date and gets ghosted, they
can email us to get the other person on the
phone and ask why they are ghosting them. We got
an email about you from I like to call him
a stallion. I don't know why, but a stallion named Elliott.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Oh.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
Elliott Oh, I thought when you were talking about the
first date saying it it was probably Elliott.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Oh okay, yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
So he says it's been a few weeks since he
talked to him, and he wants to know, why do
you mind telling us? I?
Speaker 7 (06:35):
Yeah, sure, it's weird. I actually had a really good
time on the date with Elliott. I mean sort of
like I don't know if he told you, but he
took me indoor skydiving, which I was not a fan of.
I'm afraid of heights and anyway, but he did it,
and like I tried and it was no but I
watched him and anyway, it was fine. And then we
(06:59):
went to dinner and we had fun.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I don't know why I'm not getting back to him.
I think maybe there's a little piece of me.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
That is concerned about him being divorced. I haven't been
married before, and I don't know. I just feel like,
if he's coming out of a divorce, is he gonna
want to be like just dating around?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
How curious does he want to be. I don't know.
I guess that just kind of concerns me a little.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
What do you want, Zoe, Well.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
I'm looking for a life's partner, like I want to
be with someone.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
I want to find my person.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
Yeah, it's just hard to know, like he's been there,
done that, and is he gonna want to.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Do it again?
Speaker 7 (07:45):
You know, we had a good conversation about it, but
like I just can't help but think that if somebody's
been through it once and then divorced, they just may
not want to do that again, Like they may be
a little gun shy about it.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Or I think that's a fair concern, you know, being
a little gun shy about it, and especial depending on
how recently he got out of the relationship. It's kind
of interesting that this is new territory, especially right now.
I don't know if it's post pandemic that everybody in
the waters is freshly divorced. So you ask yourself, you know,
what does that mean for a person who's never been
married to be dating somebody in that space, And I
(08:17):
mean honesty and asking him what's going on. But I
think you're right, Zoe, in a little bit of a
hesitation because I don't think he knows what he wants.
In my experience, they generally don't know what they want,
so it's kind of harder for someone who does to
maneuver that type of relationship.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And be an interesting situation to be in. I'm married,
but if I wasn't, if we had, if we ended
up getting a divorce or whatever, and I got back
into the dating world, my head would think right now
that I would probably be like, I'm never going down
that road again, right, But maybe I would. So I
would also be very confused. I would be a confused
little stallion like Elliet is. He was stabled up for
(08:55):
a long time. Zoe.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
You know, I know.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
He's out there running around the field and has no
idea what he's doing.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
It's like, is it worth roping him when you know
he needs to be wild?
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Right? Is it hurt? Let me tell you?
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
And I don't.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
I don't want to like waste a bunch of my
time and potentially get really attached to someone.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Well, thank you for telling us why you're ghosting him.
I mean, I wonder where he says that? Do you
do you ever want to find out where Elliots head
is at with everything.
Speaker 7 (09:26):
I do, I actually really do, and like I guess,
like I kind of I feel like I want to
apologize to him because ghosting someone is rude and like
I feel like that's not me, but I don't know.
I feel kind of bad about it because he really
is awesome, like he's a cool guy and yeah, yeah,
I do want to know.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Okay, cool, that's tandy because he's actually on the phone
and has been listening this whole time and wants to
talk to you.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Hello, Hi, Elliott. How's it going well?
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Good?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I'm sorry, I feel bad. Oh, don't feel bad. I
get it it.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
If it's weird, it's weird for me being divorced, and
I never wanted to be divorced, But that also means I,
you know, I am I. I didn't get divorced because
I don't like marriage. I got divorce because and it
worked between me and the other person. So you know,
I'm not looking to grave many pastures.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
That sounds that sounds pretty bad.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I love the analogy, Ellie. I feel like I need
to apologize to you too, because I was speculating on
how you may be feeling at this point. So I
don't want to put words into your mouth. I want
to let you explain yourself honestly.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
No.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
So it's like, I don't want to be dating very long.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
If the first date I find the person I want
to spend the rest of my life with, then that's
then that's bullied for me and the other person. It's like,
uh so, no, I'm not looking to date. I'm looking
to find the right person. And I thought we clicked,
so that's why I kind of went down this route.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
Oh that's awesome. I thought we clicked too.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
That's great.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Hold, lot of clicking going. I know, Zoe, would you
like to go on another date with Elliott?
Speaker 4 (11:17):
We'll pay for it? Oh my gosh, even better. Yes, Yeah,
congratulations Elliott. All right, you're getting out of the table again. Ye.
Elliott's a happy Stallion. I love it.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Congratulations you guys so much fun.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
All right, thank you, Oh, thank you guys.
