I try to put myself out there, but you know,
it's hard out here, and you know, this was kind
of like the first time where I really thought like, okay,
like I'm really into this. Then there's it's easy.

him about the date. You know, you're going to be
listening in at any point if you want to talk
to him, you can, Okay, Oh, okay, hold on. I
don't know. I don't know what could have happened or
how this could have gone wrong. I was really thinking
(01:54):
maybe they drank too much. But yeah, I don't know.
I mean, I feel like the most normal ones are
the ones that are not so all right.
Speaker 2 (02:01):

Speaker 1 (02:04):
This is hey Anthony. It's Courtney Anthony.

You're on the radio this morning. Anthony.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Wow, Hi, Hey.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
So listen, Anthony, you're on something called second date update.
You go on a first date, you get ghosted, We
get the answers, and that's why we're calling you because
Stephanie reached out to us to tell us about a
great date you guys went on.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Uh yeah, okay, all right, So we just want you
to be honest.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
She told us you guys went for a happy hour.
You guys had great conversation. There is nothing awkward about
the date. In fact, she felt like a connection to you.
She sent you a text message and you didn't respond,
so she wants to just know why she's getting ghosted.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Well, like, so was it not a good date for you? No,
it was the date. The date was fine. I I honestly,
I just I felt like a therapist a little bit
like I feel like on the date, I just I
(03:16):
learned like everything about her, like her her obsession with
like uh like saving uh saving pigs, and her best
friend who is pregnant with a married man's baby. That's
(03:36):
pretty her fear of clowns. Like all right, So what
I'm feeling?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
First of all, Anthony, when you go on a first
day that is kind of get to get to know
each other. But are you Are you saying she just
did a lot of talking and didn't want to get
to know you.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah. Yeah, I mean it was like after the date,
it was like I just I like I just needed
like like a little bit to kind of process everything. Yeah.
It's like when I leave work after hanging out with Plaiting,
It's like I need to go home and have a
cigarette and just kind of sit there and just collect
(04:14):
my thoughts. You're ridiculous, right, And then like when I
got like the long text from her, it was kind
of like, Okay, I don't know, I don't know if
this is going to be, you know, the right situation
for me. And uh so you know that was I
(04:37):
guess kind of my reason for all right.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
So, Anthony, so it was overwhelming, you felt like a therapist.
She did a lot of talking, and then the text
message she sent to you was extremely long. Yeah, guys
get overwhelmed with a lot of words. They don't have
a lot of vocabulary, no, so you got to keep
it short. Can listen Anthony Stephanie. Stephanie's on the line,
Anthony Stephanie, Hi.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Did you talk about a lot.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Did you try to get to know Anthony or did
you just talk about yourself?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Yeah, I don't I guess maybe. Yeah, I guess things
have just been a little bit crazy recently. So when
I kind of felt, I don't know, it just really
comfortable and really vivy, I guess I just went on
a little bit too long. Now i'm thinking back to it. Yeah,
that's that's valid. Okay. I'm really sorry about that. That's
(05:32):
so unfortunate.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Do you accept your apology, Anthony?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I mean it's like, if we're going to these lengths
to reach out, Yes, of course I'm going to accept,
you know, her apology.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Okay. And so then, Stephanie, when you send a text
message to a guy, you have to keep it simple,
not a lot of adjectives, smallers, yeah, measures, easier the better.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah, Okay, I'm getting that.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I'm getting that.
Speaker 3 (06:07):

just full of nerves. I want to pay for the
next date. If you guys agree to go on another one,
