Oh? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (03:47):
I uh oh jeez, yeah, it's just about Is this
about Meghan?

Speaker 2 (03:53):
It is Wow.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
I can't believe this is as We'll just.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Bring her on first, Alex. Are you cool talking with
us about it?

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Yeah, yeah, like I get it.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Alex? Did you ghost on Megan? I did? Can you
tell us why?

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Yeah? I really did have an awesome time on the date, honestly,
like it was great until right after the date, essentially,
we stepped outside and there was this you know, like
street performers, and there's this gentleman who was playing on
the accordion which had a little weird little niche and

(04:30):
stopped and kind of listened for a second out of
respect to the artist and kind of cool. But she
really really kind of pushed to to start dancing to
this this guy's accordion music, and I was I was
kind of you know, I'm a friendly guy, but there's
certain things out of my comfort element. I wasn't really
feeling it. It just wasn't the right, you know, it's
not like other people were dancing. This guy was just

(04:51):
trying to just play his music, perform. We're going to
move on, but then she starts essentially grabbing me, twisting
me around, like making this this whole thing where we
became the spectacle instead of the guy, you know, playing
the accordion. He eventually even laughed after a couple of minutes,
probably to go down and find a little more of
an open space. And here I was just like, I

(05:13):
don't know, just dancing when I didn't feel like it
was the right, like read the room, you know what
I mean. It was just uncomfortable. I didn't feel like
my comfort was kind of well perceived, and it was.
It was just kind of it was bizarre. It was
just bizarre. And I'm all about being charismatic, but like,
I don't need to dance in the middle of the
street when no one else is dancing, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Megan back to you.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yeah, I'm kind of at a loss.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
So that was fine that I thought like that I
was spontaneous that like, I just wanted to have fun
and dance, and the guy loved it. It created energy
and people were watching and having fun. But I can't
believe you were ghosted.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
Me ohh, that that goes to I think a wider
kind of I don't know. I want to I want
to say social in sense, but like, yeah, he was polite.
He gave us like a little smile. But there's a
fine line between spot and eighty and kind of I'm
all about being charismatic, but I don't want to be
forced in a situation that I'm not comfortable with, you know,
and it's a it's about boundaries and.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
I don't know like a boundaries. Oh god, you're one
of those people. You are way too uptight, way too uptight.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Not everybody wants to dance, like no one's watching, because
they were people watching.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
I mean, maybe Ei, there.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Is people watching, but they were enjoying it. We were
creating energy and creating like a fun and vibe.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Megan, I'm getting the feeling that maybe you guys aren't compatible.
Are you even still interested in the first date?

Speaker 3 (06:40):
Here?

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Second or second date?

Speaker 2 (06:41):
No?

Speaker 3 (06:42):
Okay, he's way too uptight.
