We've heard of fails happening on first dates. A lot of them. Like forgetting your wallet by accident. For sure. Or hitting a parked car trying to parallel park in front of the restaurant. We don't hear a lot of stories, though,

with altercations where punches are thrown. What? Is that what we're doing today? Apparently, that's what happened with one of our listeners, Aiden. Oh, no. So, Aiden, please tell me that you were at a UFC fight watching the melee in the octagon.

Is that what you meant, or are we talking about your fists? No, man. It was my fist, but it was off of my head. Is that what you meant, or are we talking about your fists? No, man. It was my fist, but it was off of my head. Wait, what? I'll get there. Oh, my God. No wonder anyone is not calling you back.

Nobody likes fighting on the first date. Yeah. I don't think we should rush to judgment here before we hear the story, even if it does sound kind of weird at first glance. But Aiden, take us back to the beginning what's your date's name uh her name is kim okay she was cool yeah i met her online and her profile said my father used to say whatever you do do it 100 when you work you work hard when you laugh you laugh hard you laugh loudly when you eat eat a ton of food right dance like no one's watching yeah i was like hey your dad said that right so i was like me and your dad

we have a lot in common i'd like to feed you a lot of food and laugh loudly with you and she she loved it oh that's okay okay yeah it's usually not a great thing to say like hey i'm a lot like your dad to a woman that you're trying to. Some girls need that. They got daddy issues. No, not in that way. No, not. If you follow with I'm going to feed you a lot of food, everyone says yes to that. Yeah.

That was a nice thing to say afterwards. That's what you want to do. So what'd you guys do? How'd you guys bond? It was good. I mean, we chatted and then we, you know, excited. It led to a date and everything like that. So we both met up for a few drinks at a bar.

Not food? I thought the whole point was you were going to feed her a bunch of food. I'm assuming this bar has food there. Yeah, but still, that's not like a choice of food. Hey, drinks are edible. But if you went to a restaurant, you'd be like, what, no drinks? He promised food.

I thought there'd be more thought into what they were going to eat. I don't think that that is a bad expectation. Okay. Was there food at this bar? Can we put this to rest? Maybe this is how the fight started. No. Yes, there was food.

Okay. She was the one that suggested. She suggested this bar anyway. Okay. There you go. So how was it? The first meeting, how are you feeling when you see her for the first time? Beautiful.

Fantastic. She was hilarious. We joked a lot. And, you know, and so like we had a few drinks and I said, pick a guy in a bar and I'll fight him for you right now. And she laughed and she was like, I don't want you to fight anybody anymore. So this is where it happened. She's like, maybe yourself. There you go.

Fight yourself. Now I get it. Okay. And so I punched myself in the head and she laughed and we moved on. And then you, oh, I thought it got extreme. He's like, oh my God, I have a knife. Oh, oh, it's getting off. Pull the tooth out.

He gave himself a concussion. How hard did you punch yourself? Was it like a serious punch or joke? No, it was a joke. It was very light and right above a joke. It was very light and right above my temple. It was perfectly fine. All right, this is all in good humor.

I think we can all rest easy now. I see. All in good humor. Gotcha. And she liked the self-punch? Yeah, she thought it was hilarious. Good, okay. You sound like you have

the same sense of humor. Yeah, for sure. Absolutely, absolutely. But then she got like, well, we had a few more drinks and ended up going back to my place to see a movie. Okay. And we made out for a. Absolutely, absolutely. But then she got like, well, we had a few more drinks and ended up going back to my place to see a movie. Okay.

And we made out for a little bit. Sweet. We didn't go any farther than that, but it was nice. It was really nice. That goes against her policy of when you make out, make out as hard as you can.

All the time. I don't think that was in her bio. Well, sense do everything 100%. He's like, I can't breathe. Maybe that's why she's acting all weird. I don't know. What did she say when she left? She said she had a good time, but she's been acting

strange over text. What do you mean she's acting strange? I just asked her if she wanted to hang out on Friday, and I asked if she was free, and she said, huh, you would like that, wouldn't you? I roll emoji. Oh, was she kidding? Maybe she's trying to be sarcastic on text and it's not reading.

Yeah, that happens a lot. That's a weird response. I know. I mean, so I said, LOL, yeah, I would. Are you up for it? And she said, whatever. Did you ask her, like, did I do something to make you angry? Women don't like when you get asked that.

She just added, she just ended with whatever. Okay. I mean, he wants to be asked. And she said whatever in caps, too. Oh, emphasis. She's yelling at you. She does that.

Maybe she's just mad that you got beat up on your date and she doesn't want to date a wuss. Yeah. You didn't stand up for yourself at all

against yourself. But he also kind of won that fight at the same time. Oh, true. Is there anything she could have found out about you, like, on a Google search or something?

Or maybe inside your apartment because she was over there for at least a little bit. No, I'm a normal guy. I've got a normal job. I'm all good. That's what all the crazies say. I don't know. The date was really playful, very fun, and then

back to my place, it was very romantic. I don't know. And then there's attitude all the way at the end here. And I like, I don't know what's going on. Oh, that is weird. Sounds like you're in a relationship already. I know. Well, let's call Kim here and we'll ask her the question that all women love to be asked. Why are you so mad at me?

What did I do? Yeah, maybe we could tone down that tone. Why are you so upset with the way that I said it? Anyway, we'll do your second date update next. Texting in a new relationship can be so dangerous. Because they can ask you, hey, what do you want to eat tonight? And you respond, whatever. And that sounds sweet to your ears,

but the person on the other phone might read it as, ugh, whatever. So normally we reserve judgment in these situations, except for the fact that in this case, the girl used all caps. Oh, and an eye roll emoji. And eye roll emoji. Do not forget that.

Very clear. That's why when our listener Aiden said, hey, I'd really like to see you. Is that okay with you? Whatever. Eye roll emoji. I think we're reading that correctly. And the only question that we have is why? Why would she respond that way?

Because they had a really normal date. They went back to his place, made out, and he said he just wants to hang out again. And she's giving him attitude. I don't get it personally. I'm scared, Aiden. Yeah, me too. I don't like to call angry women. You just like to be one.

Yeah, I think you're saying that. It's just an issue waiting to happen. It really is. And you can't think of any reason why she'd be so mad at you. I literally can't think of one thing. We had a great date, laughed a lot, and a little romantic at the end, you know? Yeah?

Yeah. Yeah. And with good boundaries, like the whole thing. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we're all confused. We're going to learn something. We're going to learn and get a little clarity.

Maybe she's just randomly mad? You texted her on the wrong day? Maybe. Whatever, Jose. See, I knew I said it wrong. Let's just call this girl and see what she has to say. Here we go. Hello?

Hey, is this Kim? Yeah, he's calling. Hey, Kim. My name is Jeff from the radio show Broken Jeffrey in the Morning. Hi, Kim. Hey. Hope we caught you in a good mood today. Okay.

Don't expect it, though. We don't care if you are. I mean, it's fine if you're not. That's okay, too. How did you guys get my number? Good question. We had a listener give it to us after telling us a story about a date

that you two went on. Okay. Who was it? i'm talking about aiden aiden gave you my number yeah because it's part of a segment we're doing right now called a second date update we're trying to help aiden figure out why date number two hasn't happened yet it doesn't seem like you're that interested is that true well yeah i'm not that interested anymore i mean i knew it did you like google search him or something and find out something weird no should i no i didn't mean that putting these ideas i didn't mean it like that i meant like he told us about the date it sounded great and then now it sounds like you hate him

just based on the text messages that he was reading to us oh he was reading text messages to you because we we felt the same way that he did that it seems like from what happened that night you two had a great time so there's obviously a disconnect happening we're trying to figure out where it is well if you want to know i just i mean i thought adan was great he was super sweet good he's funny the date was great. He was super sweet. Good. He's funny. The date was great. But I just started noticing some patterns that I don't really want in a potential partner.

Okay. Oh, okay. What is it? Yeah, what type of patterns were you seeing? Well, so when we first started talking, we were really flirty over text. And I would send him, like, selfies of selfies of me like getting ready to go out with the girls and you know just be cute and flirty and he would comment and reply with these long paragraphs about how cute i was or just whatever just like making me feel super beautiful and super

seen that's really nice and then after the date i sent him another picture and he just replied with a heart emoji reaction. Okay. Okay. Yeah. That's good, right? I mean, not after like what he'd been doing the previous week when I'd been sending him pictures. I don't know. It just feels weird.

It feels like maybe a little taken advantage of. Taken advantage of? What does that mean? I don't know. Like, he got his fix. He made out. I don't know. He asked you out again, though.

He said he wanted to hang out with you again. Like, his fix is just kissing? It just seems like he wasn't that attentive. That's what it was. And I don't even know why I'm telling you people on the radio. It's like there's a vibe. You think there was, like, a vibe shift because he didn't write a paragraph but he just like loved your girl yeah he liked you so much he contacted a radio station to get a hold of you

to get another date with you yeah she doesn't know that she's just finding that out now but you were reading it wrong obviously is what i'm saying yeah i don't think i am reading it wrong he was treating me a lot different before. Okay. I get it if you want a hyped response and you just get it. But a heart still means a lot. It's still something, right? And maybe he'd reached his text limit and that was all that he could get.

I don't think that's how text works anymore. Maybe he's on a burner phone. It's probably just you don't have time always to do that. Yeah. And it feels like you're too desperate. you don't have time always to do that. And it feels like you're too desperate. You don't want to do it with everyone. That's too needy. I mean, even if he left you on red, it'd be worse than a horror. Don't let us tell you. Let Aiden tell you directly

because he's been on the other line listening this whole time and he wants to say it. Hey, how you doing? Oh my God. Yeah, we need something lovelier than that. You should have had a poem ready, bro. I don't know. Look, I don't even know what I'm supposed to do here, you know?

Sorry, Kim. I literally don't know what you need from me. So do you want me to write a paragraph every time you send a picture? Is that what you want? Because honestly, it feels like a little bit of a red flag for me. Oh. Well, if that's a red flag for you, then I don't know why you called the radio station. Oh.

He didn't know. Yeah, just finding out. Yeah. It's just like, send a message back saying something. You know, it just makes me feel embarrassed that I put this effort into taking this picture and sending it to you, and yet you just hearted it. I don't know. So a heart isn't enough of a show of appreciation for you.

Was it just a normal selfie, or was it a little bit more provocative? It was like a sexy pic. You know, because that is a difference. Oh, well, then a selfie just deserves a heart. No offense. I'm not sending these pictures to every man. I mean, I'm sending it to him.

I mean, they're, like, subjective, but they're not extreme. I don't know. I don't even want to know. I don't they're like subjective, but they're not extreme. I don't know. I don't even want to know. I don't even want to be talking about these pictures. So you just need more validation in your life is what it comes down to. Aiden, would you like to apologize for not validating her? I was validating her with the heart.

I didn't know she needed like words of affirmation. Okay. But think about it like when you write something funny in like a group text and people just do a ha ha to it instead of like writing back. Oh my God, that was so funny. Like, I don't know. It's a half-hearted heart. That happens all the time in my group text.

Maybe you're not that funny, Aiden. I don't know. I thought we had a great time. Look, I'm willing to learn. I'm willing to get coaching here if you need more. I'm happy to give you more oh that's good that's a good response and it's good that you guys are having some open communication right now

sure he sounds pretty remorseful for not being more appreciative because he didn't realize that you needed that but now that he knows he can change exactly if he knows that now that's different okay

I don't know if he's going to do it different okay yeah okay so the thing is that i don't know if he's gonna do it on a consistent basis like every time we make out is he just gonna give me like a thumbs up i don't know high five after a good makeout session is always good for me if he texts him some like that was good yeah oh god you high five your husband yeah sure i'm willing to understand that if it was like a pattern, but this only happened once. So I'm willing to take the note, and I'm happy to change. Yeah.

Just start right now by saying one really nice thing about the way that she looks in her last picture. Go ahead. Hey, there you go. You have amazing legs. Like, absolutely gorgeous. That's a little bit too long. I need just one word.

Don't you dare say heart legs he's a changed man not even her face you're not gonna say anything about it he's gotta work his way up he'll do that on the next date you guys go out with that will pay for if you're up for giving him another shot at that. Kim, what do you say? One more date on our dime. I mean, fine. Fine. As long as you're willing to learn, I think I did have a good time.

Aw. Yeah. Great. That was angry sweet all at the same time. Fine. You want to go out? Fine. Great.

Okay. I'll see you there. It's the most romantic ending to a second date we've ever had. Yay, we did it. Great. Well, thank you, Tim. What words did I say? All right.

At least you didn't just say whatever. Yeah. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. I know our number one goal on these is trying to get our listeners a second date. I get that a thousand percent, and we did that. Brooke tends to be the opposite, but somebody has to carry the torch and champion love, and that's going to be me. Oh, you're going to be the one.

That's cute. So I'm glad we got that second date. But does anybody else think it's a little bit weird that she completely stopped talking to him and was willing to never see him again because he hearted a photo? Oh, boy. It just sounds like he's destined to have one of her, like, Jose-type relationships. And how did those go? A little tumultuous.

They burn hot in the beginning and go ice cold within a month. But sometimes that's all people are looking for, Jeff. It's not called 18 date update. Oh, we just got to get one more. Then it's on them. That's a victory for us. We want to get you some victories In the dating world
