Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
If you're doing the dating thing. Apparently, ghosting is out,
speed dumping is in.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
That's wonderful.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Yeah, I'll tell you all about it. Here one to
six pointy seven light a FM Cubby and Christine in
the morning producer Christi is here speaking of dating. If
you've ever been on a crazy first date, we have
Dualipa concert tickets. If you give us a text at
four four three sixty three, just say hey, I have
a story for you. We'll reach out to you, we'll
get you on the air, and if we use you
on the air, we'll give you the Dualipa concert tickets
for the Garden on September seventeenth.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Wonderful.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
So here's what I'm hearing, Christine. Ghosting is out, speed
dumping is in. Singles who think it's rude to cut
off contact after a doubt of a first date are
opting for what some consider an overcorect over correction. It's
called the breakup text. So if you're one or two
dates in, you flat out just text I'm sorry. I
think you're a nice person, but I'm not into it.

(00:46):
And then they've found that more people are responding favorably.
They're not coming back snarky like how dare you they're saying, wow,
thank you for letting me know.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yes, so I can move on.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
So it's almost like something we've always known but avoided
is what to do.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Always, and it always felt kind of rude for somebody
just to disappear, you know. I know, you don't owe
a person a lot if it's a couple of dates,
but sometimes, you know, I had the experience where I
was like, I thought things were going well and we
had a rapport and the person would ghost me right,
and I just that that's like an awful feeling because
it's like.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
You thought of everything that possibly could be wrong, and.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
It's always me, what is it right? Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
If I had heard from the person like, hey, you know,
think of you as a friend, whatever it is, right,
it just would have felt so much better. There would
have been some closure.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah. I think people that ghost are the people that
just are not they're cowards. They're we're scared.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
I get it.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
It's uncomfortable, and that's the thing. I think they're worried
about the confrontation. But now we're at the point where
it's like, let's just be honest, right, I get it
over with.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
I mean, and we've learned you'll be happy to know
be honest, because you will get ninety five percent of
the time, you'll get a thank you text or I
appreciate you letting me know. You're not gonna get someone
firing back. How dare you not like me? That's I mean,
it may happen, but the chances are low.
