Tasha & Jordan: She Thought It Was a Movie-Perfect Date… Then He Vanished for One Unexpected Reason

As part of our 12 First Date Follow Ups of Christmas, Tasha can’t understand why a date that felt straight out of a rom-com suddenly turned into radio silence. Bookstore vibes, coffee, park people-watching, chemistry, and even a sweet goodbye — everything seemed right. So why did Jordan disappear?

In this First Date Follow Up, the answer takes a surprising turn that no one sees coming and sparks a hilarious, jaw-dropping conversation about first impressions, deal-breakers, and staying true to who you are. Listen as we get Jordan on the phone, uncover the real reason behind the ghosting, and see whether this connection can be saved — or if it’s better left in the past.

(00:28):
been since you heard from Jordan?

Speaker 3 (00:30):
It's been nine days?

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Okay, Okay, good amount of time. Yeah, So have you
been trying to get a hold of him? How have
you felt during that time?

Speaker 3 (00:38):
Oh? Man, haven't you been so nervous? Like I actually
did reach out to him two days ago and he
didn't respond.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Okay, Well, let's talk about your date, like what could
have gone wrong? How was it?

Speaker 3 (00:50):
I thought it was great, you know, like it was
a classic get to know you sing coffee in a bookstore,
and you know, with it, we just like kept hanging
out and we watched some people watching, you know, like
by the park, and he's really funny, low key, you know, Okay, Yeah,

(01:12):
and we had this moment where he brushed my hair
back while we were sitting on the bench, and well
things got a little romantic after that. I mean, it
just made me think he liked me and he was real,
like none of that like performative stuff you get on
the apps, and like I felt so seen. I don't know,
he even remembered the book I said I loved in

(01:32):
high school.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Oh that's cool that it's cool. So you felt like
he was vibing you too.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, and his voice is so dreamy for I don't know.
I'm just like so into him, and I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
I thought he was into me too.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Okay, Well, why do you think he's ghosting you?

Speaker 3 (01:49):
I can't really think of anything. I just feel like
maybe he found me too talkative, or he didn't like
my jokes, you know, like I mean I made this
like one political joke, but like it wasn't even a
joke that I made up, you know, I just like
Google jokes to talk about on dates.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
And.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
So you went political, Like I'm not even a political person,
Like I don't care about politics, you know, but maybe
he found what I said offensive.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah, I mean usually they say talking about politics on
a first date is a bad thing, a joke, But
you google jokes before you go on dates, and that's
the thing pard you don't know. I mean, I've never
done it before, but I think that's kind of cool. Actually,
I'm about to start. So you go to dates with
like a list of pre approved or pre googled jokes

(02:37):
to use. Yeah, that's cool. I think that. Like, actually,
if I were to go on a date with you,
I think that was dope. If you if you told
me that you googled their things, I'd be like, that's awesome,
that's effort, right, Yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Mean I didn't tell him. I mean, you don't tell
the person you're on a date with that you googled
jokes or something. That's like months into the relationship. Then
you then you tell.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Them, right when they're like, she had all these jokes?
She doesn't, You're like, yeah, it's because I've been googling them.
But yeah, how was this mood after the political joke?

Speaker 4 (03:06):
Then?

Speaker 2 (03:06):
What did it change after that?

Speaker 3 (03:09):
No? I mean I mean he laughed, you know, but
I don't know if it was like an awkward laugh.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Did you guys change the subject after that?

Speaker 4 (03:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (03:17):
I mean honestly, the conversation just kept flowing naturally, like
and then we just liked made fun of people walking
by and and I don't know, I just I didn't
really think anything bad happened. So that's why I'm just
very confused. You know, he gave me a little kiss
on the cheek and and that was good.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Well, so how did it? How did you guys leave it?
Did you plan on seeing each other again? Or was
it just like, oh, this was fun. Thanks?

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Yeah. Yeah, I mean I was like, okay, well I'll
see you, you know soon hopefully. And then that's kind
of like how we ended it. And then, like you know,
these days go by and I'm just like replaying the
date in my head over and over again, and I'm like, wait,
what did I do? Like, I don't get it. I
thought we were good. I wasn't being weird or anything

(04:02):
when I texted him two days ago, like I just
you know, sent him a playful text, and you know,
he didn't respond, so it's like, what's up.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Tasha is on the phone and she's getting ghosted. By
a dude named Jordan's. So we're gonna call him in
just a second and see if he'll tell us why
he's ghostinger and maybe get her another date. You still
want one, right, Tasha?

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Yeah, and maybe get her another date or she wants one,
which she said she does. But first, Tasha, let's get
a recap of your date real quick before we call him.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Oh yeah, it was such a beautiful date. You know.
We went to a bookstore and a coffee shop and
then we like sat at the park and people watched
and it was it was literally like a movie, like
a romantic comedy movie, and I was the star and
he was a hero.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
The only reason you can think of that he might
be ghosting you is because you made a political joke
on your date.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah, but I don't care about politics.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
All right, Well, are you ready for us to call him?

Speaker 4 (05:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Okay, here we go.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Hello.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Hi, I'm i seking to Jordan please. Uh hey, Jordan,
how are you? My name is Jewbel and I'm calling
from a radio show it's called the Jewbel Show. Hi.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
I'm Nina also on the show. Hi, and I'm Victoria.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Wait is this a prank?

Speaker 2 (05:29):
No, it's not. We're calling you today for a different reason,
though it's not a prank, okay. So we do a
segment on our show it's called the First Day follow Up.
That's where if you go out on a date with
somebody and then you end up ghosting them, that person
can ask us to get you on the phone and
ask why you're ghosting them. So we got an email
about you from someone that you've been out with but
aren't calling back. Oh wait, Tasha, Yes it is. Yeah,

(05:54):
she emailed us and she told us about your day.
She said she really liked you, but she's confused because
it's been nine days and you have responded to her.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
I mean, she was great. The date was actually a
lot of fun and she made me laugh a lot.
She's actually really funny.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Do you mind telling us why you're not talking to
her though?

Speaker 4 (06:12):
It's the glitter. What She had a lot of glitter
on her face, like like a lot of it, you know,
And I don't know. It's just by the time we
were done, it was all over me and it was
all over my clothes and my car and I could
never get it off and I can't. I know, I
know that sounds crazy, but I'm serious. It's just I

(06:33):
kept finding glitter on myself for days. It was like
I was dating a disco ball.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
So what was eyeshadow?

Speaker 3 (06:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
She wore it in her hair, I guess her face.
I think it was on her hands, hat it was,
and on her hands.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
I don't know. It was everywhere.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
I mean, I guess it was like I wore it
all day, kind of a clean streak.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Okay, wait, you ghosted me because its glitter?

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Hey, Jordan, let's talk. So she's actually on the phone
listening and wants to talk to you.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
Oh my, this is embarrassing, Hi thoughtcha. Look, it's nothing personal.
I swear. I really did have a great day and
you were very pretty and hilarious. But I'm thinking about
messages and it just stressed me out and I can't
have glitter all over me, like I took a bath.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
It's called sparkle, Jordan, and some of us like to shine.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
Oh okay, okay, fine, but I don't like the sparkle,
and I kind of think that's like a little kid
things too.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Wow. No, okay, sparkle life, you know, and I'm a
sparkly girl, and I don't think there's anything wrong with him,
And I mean you've been strip clubs before, so I'm
sure you've had your you know, load of.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
I knew what I was up for and what's actually
I don't really go to strip clubs like that because
this reason.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
I'm the word sparkles.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
That is what it is.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
I mean, what's so bad about it? Like it just
makes your life a little bit more shiny. I mean,
I'll hope you clean it off.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
It's impossible to clean up. I'm sorry. Well, the date
was great, but I just it was like it was
ending up in my food because it was all over
my head and my hair and oh my god.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
If there was less Jordan, would you be down with that?

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Jordan? Would you like another day with Tasha? Will pay
for it? If Tasha was willing to cut back on
the glitter a little.

Speaker 4 (08:34):
Bit, if there's no glitter involved. Yeah, I mean, yeah,
it was a good date.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
Yeah, I'm not sure about that because I am a
sparkly girl and I don't know if I even want
to live a life without glitter.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Wow, Okay, stand on your girl.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
Okay. Well, I mean maybe we pick like somewhere less
glitter friendly, like a pool.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
I feel like that would be worse, Jordan, And honestly,
you're swimming in it then, I mean I already was.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Just embrace it.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
I mean, I'm not even sure anymore, Jordan, because I
thought we had something special and I can't believe you
ghosted me because I sparkle and I don't even know.
I don't even think I want another date with you.
I don't want you dimming my light.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Okay, Okay, So does that a no, then, Tasha, you
don't want another day with Jordan?

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Uh no, I will pass.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Okay. Well, at least you know now why he's ghosting
you and that he's probably not a good fit for you.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
Yeah, I'm very disappointed about this, Jordan. O.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
Hey, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm sure there's
a lot of guys who would love to have your
sparkle all over them. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
There is. And his name is Nate, and I'm going
on a day with him actually tonight. So whatever, Okay,
you Wile's first date fall
