Speaker 1 (00:00):
First Date of follow Up powered by the Advocates Injury
Attorneys online at AUSLA dot com.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Jessica is on the phone today for a first date
follow up and she's getting ghosted by a dude named Chris. Jessica,
thank you for coming on the show. Before you tell
us about your date, how long has it been since
you heard from Chris.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
It's been a few days with no response.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Whatsoever, nothing at all.

Speaker 4 (00:23):
Okay, have you tried to reach out to him?

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Yeah, I've been texting him because I think it's super
weird that we had a date and then he just
stopped texting after weeks of texting all the time.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Yeah, okay, did you guys meet on an app and
we're talking a bunch before you went out?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yeah, we met on an app and then we only
had one date, which was, you know, kind of basic
like happy hour, just some drinks and we shared an appetizer,
but then nothing since that date ended.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
Did the date go well?

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Well?

Speaker 1 (00:52):
I mean I can't say that I was like super
into him, but nothing went wrong in the date. Like,
it's not that big of a deal that he goes
to me. Except I hate when people don't respond to text.

Speaker 5 (01:04):
She's like, I don't really like him, but the principle
at this point, so it's more just getting ghosted than
anything I get that I need.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
I don't want to have to keep thinking about him
if like there's no reason to.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
But there's something psychologically about being ghosted that makes me
like obsessed over something that I barely even care about.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
Could that have come up into date? Kind of a
red flag? I'm not sure you could tell you.

Speaker 5 (01:29):
I understand you, and I know I'm a walking red
flag at times, and so that's why I'm just asking.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
I don't know. I just think it's really rude, Like
if we're old enough to go on a date, then
we should be old enough to say if we're not interested.
And I'm curious, is it me or did he just
not feel a connection or did he go on a
date with someone else? And like the more like all
of that's fine, I would just like to know what
the answer.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Is if he was still talking to you, would you
want to go out with him again? Or is it
just that you're getting ghosted and you can't you can't
stand not knowing why.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
It's sort of.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
More of the latter, But like I'm open, I didn't
have a strong feeling one way or the other on
whether we should go out again, So I'm open. I
would just kind of like to know why he stopped
responding to text messages.

Speaker 5 (02:11):
So if you think back to the date though, to
your like okay date, was there anything that was like
less okay then normal?

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah, Normally people are like I really liked him, and
I don't know why they're ghosting me. You're just like,
I don't WIT's whatever with him? I just don't want
to be ghosted.

Speaker 5 (02:28):
And because if you're feeling like it was with whatever,
maybe he thought it was just whatever too, and so
he's like why bother?

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah, I guess, but it takes two seconds to be like,
oh I just don't feel a connection.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Er, I'm not interested, you know, like why would you
not act.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Like I'm actually kind of worried because he was so
responsive before in the date, and he was all initially
on the date.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
So I'm worried he might like be really sick.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
Actually, are you feeling sick at all? I mean maybe
you know, if you feel good.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah, I feel totally fine.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
So if you did have something, I didn't catch it,
But I mean he was really smith fully, like totally
nose blacks and everything.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Do you think that he knew you weren't that into it?

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Maybe? I mean, like I said, it's the first date.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
So it's not like I'm going to be like gushing
over someone right away or like completely uninterested.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
I kind of feel like you should give people a chance,
So I don't know. I don't think I gave off
weird signals.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Did anything happen on your date that you think could
be a reason that he ghosted you?

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, Like we hugged when we first got there, and
it was a nice hug, like he came full on,
in full body contact. He had, you know, no problem
sharing food, which I like because I think that's like
a way to connect if you're sharing a plate as
opposed to getting your own things. You know, like your
average date, I.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Feel like, I don't know, do well, how do you
feel about going on an average date? Would you want
another date after an average date?

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Not?

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Usually No, And I would be fine getting ghosted because
I'm like cool, I don't have to talk to him again,
you know.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, well, clearly you're healthier I am.

Speaker 5 (04:00):
I wouldn't say that he's been working on it while yeah, well, Okay,
we'll try to figure out for you.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
What's the last thing that he said to you.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Oh, he said this was great and I'll talk to
you soon, like it ended in a positive way that
would make you think that there's going to be communication afterwards.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Okay, all right, well we'll see if we can figure
it out for you. Well, play a song, come back,
and then call him and find out where you're getting
ghosted next. Okay, all right, think all right, so will
show friends the middle of today's first day follow up
and if you're just joining us, Jessica is on the
phone and she's getting ghosted by a guy named Chris.
She doesn't really care that much about Chris, but she
wants to know why he's coasting or real quick, Jessica,

(04:38):
for anybody just joining us, give us a recap of
your situation.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
So I went on a date with Chris. Things went fine.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
I'm not sure if I even want a second date,
but he stopped responding to text and it's driving me crazy.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
So I have to find out why.

Speaker 5 (04:53):
Okay, you know what she's doing it for all the
people that just are like, well why not, I'm bomb?

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah you know, yeah, I mean if I'm going on
a date and there's ghosting involved, it better be from me.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Okay, Yeah, we're about to call him and try to
figure out why he's ghosting here, all right, Jessica, are
you ready?

Speaker 3 (05:12):
I'm so ready.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Okay, here we go, one Dallas phone number.

Speaker 6 (05:24):
Yeah, this is Chris.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Hello, Chris, how are you? This is Jewble from the
Jewbel Show. It's a radio show.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
Hi, Chris, I'm Nina also on that show.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
That's Nina, and then Victoria's over there. There's three people
on the phone with you right now.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
What's up, Chris?

Speaker 6 (05:37):
I'm so sorry?

Speaker 3 (05:38):
What is going on?

Speaker 2 (05:40):
We do a segment on our show and it's called
the first Date follow Up. It's where you go out
on a date with somebody and then you end up
ghosting them. They asked if we can get you on
the phone to figure out what happened, and we got
an email about you from somebody that you went on
a date with recently.

Speaker 6 (05:54):
Yeah, okay, now I know what this is about. Brilliant hie.

Speaker 5 (05:57):
Okay, so you do know who we're talking about. So
is there somebody you're ghosting in particular?

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (06:04):
No, Recently I have been receiving a lot of texts
and I haven't been replying to them just honestly because
I haven't known how to let me guess is jess
go on the line.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
That is a good guess.

Speaker 6 (06:17):
I Hi, Jessica, how how are you doing today?

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Can I talk? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Did you have no choice?

Speaker 6 (06:23):
Now?

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Chris knows that you're on the phone.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 6 (06:29):
You know, it's really awkward to bring a whole radio
show into this, but I guess you know, I have
been dodging the text and everything. So the actual reason
that I haven't responded anything, and the reason I haven't
really like, I really haven't known how tactually to do this.

(06:50):
I couldn't breathe throughout the entire date. And that's not
actually like a feelings thing, that's like a medical thing.
When I went in for the hug, there was all
the cat hair on your sweater and I'm destly just
completely allergic to cats, and so my entire breathing system

(07:13):
was locking up.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
Oh well, why don't you.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
Tell me that fair question.

Speaker 6 (07:19):
I was trying to do the you know, gentlemanly thing
and trying to you know, keep my wits about me,
to keep the date going, trying to be lively trying
to not you know, especially because I didn't want to
put it on you and be like, you know, you're
the cause of this or whatever. I really tried to
bottle all that up. At the same time, it would
have been very difficult for me to articulate any of

(07:42):
this just because I couldn't breathe. So I was really smiling,
nodding in anything else.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
But an awkward day. I wonder average.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
I'm sorry, Jessica told to say your date seemed kind
of average, and from what Nina said right there, it
would make sense, right because you really talking.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yeah, we went out.

Speaker 6 (08:03):
For drinks and for advertisers. It was a happy hour,
and I was trying to be as happy as possible
while also trying to you know, not faint.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Okay, So that's why you weren't really talkative like you
are in text, because you could have breathed like, oh
my god, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
I feel like I almost filled you.

Speaker 6 (08:24):
No, I mean so right and honestly, And that's why
I was sharing the plates and everything is because I
kind of wanted to keep our mouths full, so I
had an excuse not to talk. Yeah, you know, when
we were texting, it never came up that you had
a cat. Otherwise I would have given you the heads
up that I am allergic.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah, but I actually don't have a cat.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
My roommate has a cat, And if you had just
told me about your allergy, I would have made sure
I used one of those like hair removal things so
that I didn't show up with cat.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Here on my shirt.

Speaker 6 (08:59):
Okay, so I can blame your roommate, then that's totally fun.
I'm fine with it.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
You can.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
I'll blame yourself because you could have taken an answer
hits to me and if you were experiencing such severe.

Speaker 6 (09:08):
Allergies, I just wasn't expecting to come face to face
with like a cat. That that's not really something that
I schedule on my daily routine, and therefore an antihistamine
is not quite something that is just routine for me.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
Jessica, was there at any point during the date, like,
did you notice that he could have talked?

Speaker 4 (09:29):
Did he look itchy or like he couldn't breathe?

Speaker 1 (09:32):
He didn't look itchy, but he definitely sounded like he
had a stuff. He knows, like I thought he might
have a cold or was getting sick, that he just
didn't tell me about. But apparently he's been suffering from
this cat allergy all week, which is why he can't
respond to my text messages. Is that when I'm hearing Chris.

Speaker 6 (09:49):
Again, it's difficult because I don't want to throw anybody
out of the bus here, except I guess a cat
or two. I just didn't want to text and say, hey,
we should get together again and kind of lead anybody on,
especially if I was, you know, saying that I had
to continually contend with like, oh man, I'm gonna have
to put my face in other cats, but every time

(10:11):
I fear, I will say.

Speaker 5 (10:13):
It's a teachable moment though, for everybody listening at this point,
and especially like as a woman, for a man to
be direct and honest about what he's experiencing, that's attractive,
Like that's hot. So maybe in the future, Chris, like
if you start being able not to breathe, you just
straight up say, I got.

Speaker 6 (10:33):
That's that's nothing more attractive, nothing more attractive than to
die gasping for air.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
All right, Chris, Well, I'm glad you're finally sharing now.
Like I feel like I can like close this chapter
a bit, but like, honestly I feel like you handle
it completely wrong, and maybe you'll take this as a
lesson going forward and not ghost people when you're having
some kind of issue.

Speaker 6 (10:56):
I will take that to heart. And I'm so sorry,
and I guess listeners of this radio show, I'm so
sorry and what I did was not the correct thing
to do. Again, You're gonna be more direct from mon
from now on.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
I love that you're being direct and apologizing to Jessica,
but it's also hot when you don't apologize to people
you don't need to apologize to you.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah, and nobody's really that mad. I'm not mad at you,
at you, Chris, like it's understandable.

Speaker 6 (11:25):
Again, it's that martyrdom. I'm just trying to make sure
that everybody in this situation feels great, except for me,
who is blushing and just totally read in his office.
But you know it's okay.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
I mean, I guess I have to ask, no matter what, totally, Chris,
would you like to go on another date with Jessica.
We'll pay for it, you know that I would.

Speaker 6 (11:48):
I have a lot to make up for here, and
Jessica is very very sweet and I enjoy talking to
her when I can talk so.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Yeah, I'm not interested. I really just wanted to know
why you go. So I'm gonna say.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
Now, okay, And that was direct. Yeah, Jubile's first date
