Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is time for a second date. Update to any
single parents listen to this. Let me bring in Alex. So.
Alex is in Norwalk. He met someone at a kid's
birthday party. She's a single mom, he's a single dad.
They really connected, but she's been difficult to lock down
for a date. Alex, thanks for coming on. I appreciate it.

(00:23):
Do you find it is it difficult to find a
connection with somebody as a single parent? Yeah, like you
want to find someone who has the priorities straight and
where has the same values as you, And definitely when
you have a kid, that gets kind of complicated. So
why do you think everything was working in person and

(00:43):
now she doesn't want to lock down a date. Like
it was just kind of a vibe thing, Like as
soon as we started talking, Like I liked how she
responded to the things I was saying. You know, we
were laughing, we were having a good time. I could
tell there's just a really flirty energy, and like she
seemed excited when I asked from the date. But ever since,

(01:03):
it's just been basically impossible to lock down an actual
date and get something going right. I mean, she's probably
busy and maybe he's got cold feet, just got nervous
about it. Sometimes you know you're in person, then you
think to yourself, I can't really follow through. I I
enjoyed that moment. I'll let it go. I mean, you know,
I I thought there was something there. It just it

(01:24):
seemed like it was real and it would be a
shame if nothing came about it. We've got Kate here
on the line, the woman you went out with. She's
a single mom. They met at a birthday party for
kids and said they go out. But she hasn't responded yet.
So Alex, be very quiet. Let me see what I
can find out. Okay, thank you, Ryan, Hi, Kate, Ryan

(01:45):
Seacrest with you. How you doing? I'm good? How are
you good? Thank you for coming on. I've got Cisy
and Tania. Your voice is being broadcast on the radio.
I know it's a little out of the blue, but
we're calling you about a man you met named Alex
at a birthday party. Oh that your memory? Um? Yeah, yes, yes,

(02:06):
And tell me what do you when I bring him up?
What do you think? How was he? How was the meeting? Um?
I mean he was he was he was a really
nice guy. He was really he was a really nice guy,
really nice time at the party. Yeah he was. He
was perfectly lovely. Now, did you guys make plans No,
I mean like future plans, like to go out to

(02:28):
bang out to connect. I mean I gave him my number,
you know. Uh he was, he was, he was very lovely.
Like I said, we haven't. We haven't made any plans though.
So so he's very nice. He was a really nice guy,
very sweet. Do you want to make plans with him?
I know it's hard to meet somebody as a single parent. Yeah,

(02:51):
I mean it definitely is it definitely is um uh
you know again, he was. He was very funny, he
was super charming, he was very hands some I there
was there was there was kind of a red flag.
So I know what was the red flag? Okay, So again,

(03:12):
so we're single parents, you know, doing the best we can. Um.
But you know, his kid, um, she seemed a little
bit I mean like I sort of yeah, like she
was pulling another child at the birthday party. Yeah, and
just sort of being very not polite, you know, grabbing
things stuff like that, and it turned you off. Yeah,

(03:35):
I mean that's like, yeah, honestly, that is a big
turn off. The behavior but it's reflective of your parenting
skills a little bit, and there's not so much that
you can do as the other adult because you can't
really intervene. It's not your kid, Okay, Kate. At the
risk of a very awkward moment, I just want you
to know that Alex is on the line. Alex, do

(03:57):
you want to respond to that? Yeah, I mean she's
a kid, she's she's still learning. That's really why you
don't want to go on a date. Well, let's get defensive.
I mean I think she's just saying, well, okay, what
are you saying? Listen, I totally get it. I get it.
I'm a mom. I understand it. And listen, I'm not
asking you to make excuses for your daughter. Okay, So,

(04:18):
like this isn't it's not it's not her problem. It's
it's a nee problem. It's what I saw. So unfortunately
for me, that is a problem. So you know who knows? Like,
I'm sure your daughter is very sweet and maybe I
just saw her at a bad moment. It's just do
you think there's an opportunity here or you want to pass. Look,
I'm just trying to be very nice about this, Like

(04:40):
I have a lot going on, and I'm going through
a separation, and honestly, I just I don't I don't
know if I'm ready to take on more of the same.
And that's just sort of the bottom line. Well, I
don't see why it needs to be a deal breaker.
I mean, you know, we could. I understand you've got
things going on. I've got things going on, but like, no,

(05:01):
we could try. You know what, how how is it
going to hurt to just, you know, give it a shot.
That's get you know, you're totally very sweet. We had
a great conversation. Honestly, I just I didn't really think
I'd have to have a conversation about this on the radio. Okay,
at least we're here now and we've got clarity. So Alex,
I think that this ship is sailed for whatever reason

(05:23):
the universe. And Kate, thank you very much for coming
on with us. Well, thank you, I mean, he says,
He says, he doesn't see why it's a deal breaker.
But it is a deal breaker, and it happened for
some reason. Right but interesting though, right like the behavior
of the child there reflective of her interest in him,

(05:46):
even though she was interested in him until then. But
it was his response to that really bothered me. Why
he was defensive. He was insane defensive. You know. It
was like he as a parent, if somebody told me
that my kid was acting up and being really thank you,
I would be like, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.
I will make sure and try to figure out what happened.
Like that's a good point, Like I didn't like how

(06:07):
we handled that situation already. I just don't like dating,
so regardless's never fun.
