Speaker 1 (00:46):
Hi, Christina, good morning? How are you?

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Good morning?

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (00:49):
You know I'm doing okay, just you know, just a
little confused in my dating life.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
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 4 (01:04):
So I met this 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. You know. 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

(01:25):
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.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
I really don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
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, You thought
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 4 (01:46):
Yeah, I mean I really 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 1 (02:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:04):
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,
cause 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 3 (02:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
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 2 (02:36):
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
pay for that. 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,

(02:57):
back and forth was good. You were attracted to him,
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 1 (03:10):
Yeah, exactly, I just don't like the last Okay, let's
call him now. Good luck.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Hello?

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Hi is this Alex?

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Yeah, this is Alex Alex.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Hi, good morning.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
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.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Is that cool? Foot chat for just a second?

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Oh yeah, that's cool.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Okay, Well, thank you. We're 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 1 (03:48):
Do you remember her?

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Yeah, I remember?

Speaker 2 (03:50):
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.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
So what happened?

Speaker 2 (04:03):
What's nothing?

Speaker 3 (04:06):
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 napcan,
she'd stick it in her purse, and then like she
was like a spoon she's stuck it in her purse,
a menu she's stuck in her perse, and like I
didn't know she was like a kleptomaniac or something. But

(04:27):
eventually I finally brought up to her, and then she
was 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 (04:39):
Yeah, so I to marry you. 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 (04:47):
Yeah, yes, you know, so they could know what the
soup special was, you know, on her first date. Like,
I don't know, it just kind of spooped me, like
it wasn't a big deal, but yeah, it was just
like it seemed like she was pretty eager to you know,
jump in the marriage or something.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
So like I've heard about.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
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.
But this woman is just doing it right in front

(05:22):
of you. So someday, if you get married, she can
give you back the spoon that she ate from.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
I mean, you'd have to ask her her train of
thought on that, but yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
All right, well good hey, good news, because I can
Christina is here. I forgot to Yeah, I forgot to
mention that part. I'm sorry. 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 (05:49):
I mean honestly, I didn't really think about that as
like a red flag on my end. Eventually, you know,
one of the first dates will save little things just
in case, you know, I.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Mean for what purpose exactly?

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Like so like, remember the menu here it is from
years ago when we met.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
I mean is that a scrap book?

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (06:11):
Right?

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Are you keeping a scrap book? Are you keep is
it like for evidence purposes? Like what are we doing?

Speaker 4 (06:16):
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 to
see you a little mementos from our first date where
you know, things got you know, our relationship started essentially.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
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 usually comes off sweet
if you're really into the person. But again, if if
it winds up going you know, falling flat, then you

(06:50):
throw this 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 ketchup and the saltan pepper shakers, but I guess
their personal use or something. But you're saying it just

(07:11):
kind of freaks you out because she's ten steps ahead
of you.

Speaker 5 (07:13):
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, the conversation gets turned to
talking about marriage.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Like that's just on any first date. I don't think
you should use the M word at all.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
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 1 (07:43):
I mean not.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
No, not really, I honestly I do this on every
first day to 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 1 (07:55):
How many how many second dates do you this?

Speaker 4 (07:58):
I mean, depending on the guy, you know, do a
little bit here and there. I wouldn't say, like my
rate is one hundred percent overall.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
But who is How many menus do you have? I mean,
do you even have to look up, you know, like
what's eat anymore?

Speaker 1 (08:13):
I'm just careing. I'm just wondering.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
No, No, I mean again, I would say I just
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 could potentially matter to me down
in the future. And yeah, I'm out on second dates.
And honestly, this is the first time that anyone has

(08:35):
actually said anything to me about, you know, taking me
mentos from our first game. So Alex, you're you're starting
to feel like you're really special here.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
But one I don't 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,

(09:09):
accept because they don't know you that well. So I
don't know if it's the taking of the menu 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 (09:20):
There's so many restaurants out there though, that are like
missing right now.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Right, yeah, a lot of places.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Wonder where there's spoons and silverwear with 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 (09:44):
No, like, after this awkwardness, and like, I think it
shows the best. You know, we go our separate way.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
Thank you, dude, Seriously, you are not special, so you
have to stop a who you know, we we were
clear he was special when we did all this other stuff.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
But then about halfway through the call, he became unspecial, right, Yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
Was special enough to steal a spoon for He does that.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
For everyone, Okay, yeah no, and it's it's petty.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
That's petty theft or something that's a misdemeanor at least
okay that she may not.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Be a superman, but I'm spoonman baby anyway, I know.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
I don't know spoon Man. I'm not sure about that one.
But Christina, get back on the ab spoon Man's taken.
I guess, I don't know. That was weird.
