Today's Second Date Update is one of those days where you get an email in and it's so interesting that you just want to find out what happened. We got an email into the show from a dude named Michael. And all it says is that he met a girl at the gym and tried to think of an interesting way to introduce himself.

And it almost ended up in the hospital. Whoa. So I want to know what happened. What's up, Michael? How are you? Good. How are you doing? I think you succeeded in the interesting category

because everybody wants to know. Okay. Should I just tell you? Maybe tell us about the girl a little bit. What's her name? Her name is Brittany. And yeah, I met her at the gym. And had you seen her a couple of times or was this the first time running into her at

the gym? No, I've seen her for a while and she's like incredibly beautiful. And I mean, I listen to you guys show a lot and I know a lot of people are, you know, say that they're dating this beautiful girl and that. But I think that this girl is probably, like, next level, like, beyond anything. Are you trying to brag right now, or are you just excited? I'm not trying to brag, since she's not calling me back, obviously. Okay. All right, so, had you tried to talk to her before the incident that almost put you in the hospital?

No, I hadn't. The thing is, like, I've seen a lot of guys try to talk to her like walk up you know try to whatever and she's not rude but just like gets rid of them you know is always just like she observed herself to herself oh my god you have been stalking this girl at the gym i don't know if it's stalking she's hard not to notice and anyway but that's that's what i've seen so i didn't want to be one of those guys i didn't want to be just the next in line to strike out so i was like just trying to think of something i could do to ideally make her laugh which seems like the best way to get a girl interested you know absolutely yeah you're right on with that so what'd you do you fart on the treadmill next to her? No, what I did was she was on the treadmill, and while she was working out,

I jumped on the treadmill and started running behind her. On to her treadmill? Yeah, and I was like, oh, sorry, I didn't see you there. Maybe you can go a little faster. That's great! That's not funny! That's dangerous! Come on, why don't you loosen up? I'd be like, well,'s great. That's not funny. That's dangerous. Come on. Why don't you loosen up?

I'd be like, well, dude, this treadmill's not big enough for you to be right behind me. Yeah, and I would have to think scary for her as well. What the hell is this weirdo doing? That's funny. I thought it was really funny. But her first reaction was definitely a little scared. Yeah. Oh, no.

I kind of flipped around and turned backwards. So I got my back door running, you know. And, you know, I was just being funny. I thought, you know, it was going to be cool. But our feet got tangled. Oh, no. And we both, like, went flying and totally bit it. Oh, dude.

Oh, my gosh. It sounds so painful. What a fail. And you were able to still somehow score a date with her after this? Yeah. Well, that's the crazy part. So, I mean, she was super pissed, and I had to, like, talk to the gym supervisor. I got a warning, and, I mean, it was, like, pretty disastrous.

But when I went outside, like, 15 minutes later, she was standing there, and she was kind of like, you know, she was upset. She thought she was like, I could have gotten hurt. And she's right. And I was like, I'm sorry about the way I did it. But I did it because I think you're really pretty. And I didn't know how else to talk to you. And yeah, that's kind of sweet.

Well, it obviously got her, too. Yeah. I can't believe she fell for it. But OK. I don't know. Maybe I got the A for effort. I don't believe she fell for it, but okay. I don't know who she fell for. Maybe I got the A for effort. I don't know. But I basically was like, let me buy you a drink.

Let's go hang out for a minute. And she agreed. So we ended up going to a bar down the street, and it was really nice. But after like 30 minutes, she looked at her phone and was like, you know, I really got to go. And she left, and that was it. And now I'm like, you know, she won't text me back. She's ghosting me and I don't know what to do. No idea why. I really don't. I mean, like I would have understood, you know, before she didn't want to talk to me, but we kind of like had a moment, we went out and it was like going somewhere. And I, that's why I'm so baffled i really don't know what happened yeah she still went out with you after maybe risking a concussion

or broken bone or something and then all of a sudden on your date she just goes that's weird so wait you haven't seen her at the gym either yeah no i haven't seen her there it's been a week and she's not been there like the times that i've been there. She definitely has switched up her gym schedule because she doesn't want to see you. What did you do, man? The fact that I almost killed her might be it. I guess you're right. We'll play a song, come back,

and then call her and get your second date update. Thank you. Hang on. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the Morning's Second Date Update. If you're just joining us for today's Second Date Update, this dude named Michael is on the phone, and he wants to call Brittany. And he almost killed Brittany at the gym, and now he's wondering why he's not getting a call back. It's not quite that serious, but he did see Brittany at the gym for a long time,

a girl that he wanted to talk to, and finally one day he got up the nerve and thought he'd be funny. So he jumped on the treadmill at the same time as her to try to be creative. Ended up falling off and everything, but did go out on a date. And then shortly into that date, she just ended it and took off like half an hour in. And he hasn't heard from her since. See, I feel like, Michael, you were expecting too much. I think this was actually a pity date by Brittany.

What? I mean, granted, you're the one that injured her, but it's a weird thing that women do when we're like, oh, but he feels bad, so I feel bad for him, and I don't want him to feel bad. Well, I don't think it was a total pity date. I mean, you know, I have something to offer, I think. But at this point, I'm just, like, trying to figure out

why she's ghosting me. It just doesn't make any sense to me, to go out with me and then just bail like that. All right, well, I'll dial her phone number right now, get her on the phone and see if we can find out what happened. Okay, here we go. Hello? Hi, can I speak to Brittany, please?

Yeah, this is she. Hey, Brittany, how are you? This is Jubal from Brooke and Jubal in the morning. Okay. Okay. Hi, Brittany. You ever heard of it before? Ever heard of what before?

Brooke and Jubal in the morning. I'm not sure. All right. It sounds like you just woke up. Are you tired? Yes. Good morning, sleepyhead. So we're calling you because we actually got an email from one of our listeners who asked us to call you.

Okay. Still not registering, is it? Well, no, I'm intrigued. Okay. His name is Michael. Oh. All right. And you met Michael. Oh. Uh-oh. All right. And you met Michael at the gym recently.

Yes. Yeah. And then you went out with Michael on a date after and left pretty quick into it, and you haven't contacted him since. That is correct. Okay, cool. Well, Michael emailed us because he wants to know what went wrong. Oh, well, I mean, it was just like I wasn't really sure how I felt, you know. I just couldn't really deal with it. First dates are weird, you know, so. Did you, this was my theory, okay? My theory is, is that you went out with him as a pity date.

Because he told us about the whole treadmill fiasco where he injured both you and him uh initially it kind of was you know i'm like oh my god such a weird guy you know like i'll just go out with him and get him off my back but um i don't know i'm not really sure how i feel about him and i felt really awkward. I had to leave. Wait, during the drinks that you guys were having, you felt awkward? Yeah, I'm still like kind of going through like a breakup, if you will, sort of. I'm kind of sensitive. So it was going really well. And I'm just so surprised that I liked him, you know, and I don't know if I'm ready to, you know, move forward with a guy that I might like. And I don't know, I'm just sort of a mess right now emotionally. Oh my God, that sucks. But you could tell that you liked him that much just from that experience?

Yeah, we like had a lot in common and like we started like finishing each other's sentences and yeah I just I was taken aback at how like attracted to him I became throughout just like that half hour and the feelings were kind of overwhelming that I was I had to excuse myself wait how long have you how long have you are wait are you single right now or are you still in a relationship? Oh, no, I am single. But like I had a fiance and it was very messy. And it's only been about five, six months or so. And I just I promised myself that I wouldn't date anyone for at least a year. Yeah. To really get over this guy, you know, to be fully open and available for a new relationship.

And, you know, it wouldn't be fair to Michael, you know, to be in, you know, to date someone when I'm like this. So you can still do stuff with him. I mean, that's a good way to get over a breakup. Well, that's the thing. I'm, you know, I felt like this could be a really special guy in my life and I'm really not ready for that. So I really need like, you know, a year to heal and be available. And it's only been about six months or so. So. Okay. So you just want us to tell him, you just want us to tell him that

he's got to wait six months if he wants another date. Kind of, probably. I feel like that is so emotionally responsible of you. Thank you. Yeah. You know, you really are aware of where you're at in the healing process, and this guy is obviously not just a rebound guy. Correct. And, you know, I don't know if he feels that way about me or anything, and I'm just like, whoa, this is happening way too fast.

And so, I don't know. It's a little embarrassing, but. Oh, that's so sweet. way too fast and so I don't know it's a little embarrassing but well I was saying we could tell him that and I think you could probably just do it yourself though because he's actually on the other line listening and wants to talk to you you're not serious are you I am a hundred percent serious Michael Brittany how you doing? Sorry about that. Awkward laugh. That's not fair.

I didn't know you were on the line. Wow. I mean, I'm just like blown away right now. I really just thought that you didn't want to see me again. I can't believe. I'm really sorry. I just didn't really know how to process everything that was going on. And, you know, obviously now, you know, everything I've been going through. So it's just, you know, I'm sorry. Yeah, she wants to see you again just in six months.

I mean, I hear what you're saying and that makes sense. But at the same time, it's like I'd really like to see you again and if you had a good time and feel that same way about me it's kind of crazy not to um at least hang out you know yeah I I just um I don't think it would be fair to you either because I'm not you know completely 100% there yet I'd still be thinking about my ex and you know not you, I don't want to bring any like crap from that relationship into this. So it's just, I'm trying to be responsible and, and, and careful with, you know, my emotions. For sure. I hear what you're saying.

Um, that's really good that you're like processing that at the same time though. It's like so rare that you meet somebody. I mean, I really feel like I mean you're like the most beautiful girl I've ever met and you know like after talking to you and like your heart is like even more beautiful on the inside I mean I just oh you're so sweet that was the best compliment ever I'm tearing up over here oh no that's that's really beautiful and I appreciate that and I would love to say yes. I just don't think it's a good idea right now.

And like you said, it's not, you know, every day you meet someone so special. So, like, I'll still, you know, if we're still there for each other in five, six months or whatever, like, cool. Brittany, look, you've heard everybody swooning about how hearts and love and all that stuff are beautiful if it is in fact that beautiful don't you think you should just go for it I see your point it's just I think that'll be too messy

I need more time to heal and be confident and figure out like who I am as a person and you know I was in this relationship for a long time one last question and I've heard what relationship for a long time. Right. One last question. And I've heard what you said.

You said you're not interested until you feel like you've healed enough. But would you like to go out with Michael on a second date? We'll pay for it. Brittany, before you answer, I know you've said no to me and them asking like a whole bunch, but please think about it. I mean, I just want to say that if we had that much of a connection after 30 minutes of hanging out, it just seems crazy to me to risk throwing that away. Like, why don't you take a couple weeks and heal and then maybe we can, like, get together.

Yeah, listen to him, Brittany. I mean, there's no such thing as good timing. These things always happen when you least want them to. No, I hear you guys, and I appreciate it. It's just I promised myself a year. I think that's, you know, a good timeline to feel better. And so I just have to, you know, regretfully decline. You know, Brittany, I think you're making a big mistake because, you know britney i think i think you're making a big mistake because you know as somebody

who's gone through a lot of breakups and always promised myself at the end of those that i would wait a certain amount of time i've always jumped in like into another relationship at about the six month mark and you are missing you might be missing out on a really awesome breakup wait yeah exactly i was gonna say a jub is such a good example of healthy relationships in this world. I fully support you, Brittany. Stick it out. Stick to your guns. Yeah, thanks for that.

Michael, keep my phone number, and like in six months, we can see what happens. You know, we can still see each other at the gym, maybe. Oh, man, that's too bad. Well, I will definitely call you in a few months. Oh. She said six, not a few. Stick to the rule. Yeah.

Broken Jubal in the morning. Getting lots of texts in at 78592 that are kind of surprising. Everybody's saying the girl from today's second date update was just giving him a line. If you missed today's second date update, Michael wanted to call Brittany. They met at the gym. They hung out for a little while. Then she left the date and hadn't talked to him. Well, we got her on the phone and she said that he was amazing.

That she liked everything about him. That she felt a strong connection. But that she also just got out of a relationship and was giving herself a year to be single before she got back into a relationship. So she wasn't ready to date yet. And he could contact her in six months. Yeah. And maybe they could go out again. I mean, she had been engaged and she said it was a messy breakup and that it had been six months since they'd broken up.

But she did start out the description of the date saying it started as a pity date. Yeah, she did say that. That's weird. I believed her. I just thought, hey, she's sticking to her guns, you know. I thought so too. And I was like, good for her for not caving if that's what she thinks she really needs. But the listeners have a point. It's an interesting wrinkle that I didn't think of. Yeah, me neither. I mean, maybe we were being naive.

I don't know what to think now. Maybe we were being naive or maybe our listening audience is very cynical. Yeah, that could be. That's true. That's awesome. And I appreciate that.

Or just the world in general is like, oh, come on. That's a line. Nobody waits that long before they get into a relationship. If they meet somebody they really like, you'll throw caution to the wind and you'll get back into a relationship. She's full of crap. She didn't like you.

Either that or it's just a really good explanation on why there's so many dysfunctional relationships out there, right? That's true. Remember, if you want to do a second date update, all you have to do is email the show and we will call the person who didn't call you back. Moving 92.5.
