Matt is on the phone because he's not getting a call back from a woman he went on a date with that he said he really liked. Her name is Lara. Before we find out about your date and why you think you're not getting a call back, first of all, how long has it been since your date, Matt? About two weeks. About two weeks. That's a bit of time. And how many times have you tried to reach out to Lara within those two weeks? I reached out to her three times and I'm really trying not to do a fourth time.

She hasn't responded at all? No, it sucks because I really like her a lot. Yeah. Well, your email was like glowing about her. So let's find out a little bit about Lara, shall we? Let's shall. Yeah. So what did you do for your date, first of all?

And how'd you meet her? We met online, like most couples do nowadays and um we went to a you know pretty basic like dinner and a movie but uh yeah it was great honestly it was like probably the but the best dinner date movie i ever had in my life it was like oh wow she's amazing like she's just like naturally beautiful she doesn't have to wear like really any makeup and i really like girls that just don't like have to get all dolled up so you don't have to worry about um her waking up in the morning on one of your pillows and then you seeing her face still on the pillow and not on her anymore you're like whoa you wear a lot of makeup

no not at all it's just her yeah she was just like, I just like, I couldn't believe it was happening. How, how amazing she was. We talked about how much we both love hiking a lot. And we like hiked all the same trails like we've already done before. And I just thought like, oh my God, that'd be like amazing if we could do it together. And also we have like, we both have twin siblings that are younger than us, which is like very hard to find. It's extremely rare. And we talk about that a lot. That would be weird. Like the same people. Yeah. Obviously you had a connection

and you liked the date a lot. Well, why do you think you're not getting a call back then if you think it was such an amazing time? This could be two different reasons for it. Maybe like I overly shared too much. I just kept telling her how amazing she is over and over again. Maybe she felt

uncomfortable by that. It's a little awkward. You may have gushed a little too much because it can be a little overwhelming if you gush too much like that right away. Anything else? No. I mean, yeah. Anything else? No. I mean, yeah, that's one thing. We were at one of the movies.

I felt like the dinner was kind of short and I still wanted to get to know her and talk to her more. So I did talk to her during the movie. And she seemed okay with it, but I got chuffed a lot. That's so funny. People get so mad. Well, that's such a no-no. It is. and she seemed okay with it, but I got shushed a lot. You got shushed, right? That's so funny.

People get so mad. I know. Well, it's such a no-no. It is. In public. It's annoying. So you got shushed. So what did she do when you got shushed so you would not stop talking to her during the movie?

You said she seemed okay with it. That's embarrassing. It is embarrassing. Did she also shush you, or? No, she just kind of laughed and smiled, but I mean, she's just perfect as usual but i don't know it could have maybe she was just being polite maybe it really did bother her she just didn't yeah she might have been annoyed okay yeah it might maybe i'm i'm not i'm not sure i

really i don't know okay like so i'm guessing there's no reasons how did everything end with her like did you if you ended it and she seemed obviously annoyed after the movie and shushed you I don't know. Okay. So I'm guessing there's a reason. How did everything end with her? Like, if you ended it and she seemed obviously annoyed after the movie and shushed you again when you tried to say goodbye, obviously she was annoyed by that, but, like, did it end okay? Yeah, it ended pretty good. You know, it was a nice tug and, you know, kiss on the cheek, and it wasn't forced at all. It was very, like, engaging, and it wasn't forced at all. It was very engaging and it was good.

And I mean, I'm kind of, yeah, I have a pretty good radar if things were bad or if she was annoyed or frustrated. Well, I'm really curious why she's not responding to you. Yeah, me too. Well, we'll play a song, come back and then call her and see if we can figure out just how annoying you are. No, let's see if we can get you a date.

Yeah, we'll try to get you a date. We'll find out if you did annoy her or maybe tell her that you loved her on accident and you don't remember it. Okay, shh, shh, shh. We'll figure it all out. So we can get her on the phone. Let's play a song.

Play a song, come back, and we'll get your first date follow-up right after this, okay? Okay. It's a Jubal show. Let's do a real quick poll. Text in 41061. If you went on a date with someone to the movies and they kept talking to you the whole time during the movie, would you give them a second shot or would you walk out of the movie right there and let them finish it alone because it was really annoying to you?

Text that in right now, 41061. I say that because Matt is on the phone for a first date follow-up today and he went on a date with a woman named Lara. He really liked her a lot. They met online. He said that their connection was amazing. They both like to hike. They both have younger twin siblings, which is a weird thing to have in common too.

Overall, Matt seemed to really be head over heels in love with Lara, right Matt? I just asked her a date. Sounds like it. Okay, I mean like, I didn't say that. I didn't say I love you, but I do prove that you love her. Stage five. Stage five, clear.

Clear alert. He thinks that she knew how into her he was, and maybe he seemed a little over the top with that, scared her off a bit. Or the fact that he thinks he might have been annoying in the movie they went to, because he wanted to talk to her so bad, he couldn't stop talking to her.

She didn't seem annoyed, but he did get shushed by the people around him, which was embarrassing, and might have highlighted the fact that, hey, you're being inconsiderate and talking during the movie. We're about to get her on the phone and see if we can figure out the reason, though. Here we go. I'm going to dial the phone right now. Hello?

Can I speak to Lara, please? Yeah, this is Lara. Lara, how are you? Who is this? That's a good question, too. My name is Jubal. Mine's Alex. Mine's English Evan.

The Jubal Show is a radio show, and yours is Lara. And you recently went on a date with someone that listens to our show, but now you're not calling them back, and they wanted us to call you today to see if we could figure out what the deal is. Oh, about me? Yeah. We do a thing on our show called the First Date Follow-Up.

It's where if you go out on a date with someone and then end up ghosting them, they can email us to get you on the phone and ask what happened. You recently went on a date with a dude. His name is Matt. So why are you not calling Matt back? Oh, uh, wow. Okay. Um, yeah. So first of all, we talked to Matt and he told us about your date. He said that he really liked you a lot. He thought you guys had a really good date. He thought you guys both vibed. And then he said after though,

he's had no response from you at all. Oh yeah, we did. I liked him a lot too, but I just don't know how it's going to work out though. He thinks that you're not calling him back because he likes you a lot and he might have shown you that too much and made you think that he's super clingy or the fact that you guys went to the movies and he talked to you too much during the movie and got shushed by people, he thinks he might have been annoying to you. Is it either one of those things?

It's not? No. Okay, please tell us. I'm so excited it's not. I don't know. What is it? No, no, not at all. Matt's a great guy.

We went out, we clicked. I mean, we both have younger twin siblings, for goodness sake. I mean, how often do you find somebody who really understands you and on that level? Yeah. So that sounds like you guys have a lot of cool stuff in common, you know, and it sounds like you also liked him a lot. I did.

Oh my gosh. I don't know that I've clicked with anyone kind of on that level in a really, really long time. The deal breaker isn't with him, honestly. He's awesome and he's amazing, but the deal breaker is with me and I just don't want to get a broken heart. What does that mean?

You know, I really could see myself liking him too much. But what if it does work out? I don't know how it could, though. But that so confusing then why are you dating though because aren't you trying to find somebody that you vibe with like that you guys both vibe but you guys no no no it's not any of that it's just he told me that um he's had this dream job and he's been interviewing for it for a couple of months and, and he's probably going to be moving across the country in a couple of months. And I just don't want to get into something with someone that I really like a lot. So you wouldn't be interested if like, if you did just date for a little bit and it's like,

what if you guys vibe so much that you would move over there? I can't, I can't do that. Why? I just got, I can't do that. Why? I just got settled here. Is doing long distance not in the cards? I've done that before, and it just didn't work out. I mean, that would be hard.

That would be tough. I can see why you'd be apprehensive about that, especially if it hasn't worked for you before. Yeah, and we've only had one date, you know. Well, that sucks, too, because both of you guys seem to like each other a worked for you before. Yeah, and we've only had one date, you know. Well, that sucks too because both you guys seem to like each other a lot, you know, and he said it and he's probably sitting there

listening to this conversation because you don't even know that he's listening to the conversation, but he is on the phone right now listening and wants to talk to you and I'm sure he's thinking, man, this really sucks. Oh my gosh, he's on the phone.

Yeah, I just sort of dropped that casually and I should have made that a little more official so that you really knew it. But yeah, he's listening and wants to talk to you. Hey, hey Lara. Hi Matt. Now you know why I didn't call you back.

I'm so sorry for ghosting you. It's okay, but... I just don't want to get my heart broken, you know? That's okay, but... So, you really did like me, though? Oh, my gosh, yeah. Yeah, I really did, Matt.

So, wait, Matt, did you get the job yet, or do you know? No, I don't know yet. I'm still in the interview process, so I did not get the job yet. I'm kind? No, I don't know yet. I'm still in the interview process, so I did not get the job yet. I'm kind of hoping you don't get it. This is your dream job, right? And you'd have to move. Yeah, I would have to move.

So I wish you would have told me how you felt so we would have talked about it. He's not even sure if he's going to get the job yet. He might not have to move. Yeah, I don't I don't know yet. It's not it's not definite at all. It was our first date, Matt, and they really like you.

But, you know, I don't I don't want to take the chance of getting hurt. That's all. OK, but like I understand. But like if we do really, really like each other, other I mean I think we should definitely explore that and I don't I mean I do want this job but like there's more to life than this this dream job you could be like my new dream and oh yes Matt have a really nice day so I don't I could find something else that well, I mean, that's awesome. I mean, the fact that you would be willing to even think about that shows a little bit of understanding and a little bit of wanting to definitely wanting to date you,

Lara, and choose maybe you over a job. But the only way to find that out is if you guys go out again, Lara, would you like to go out with Matt on another date? We'll pay for it. I would love to. Oh, really? Let's go. We did it. Awesome.

Thank you so much. Really appreciate it. I'm not going to talk in the movies anymore. This is great. I'm excited for you guys. This could be the start of something special. I'm pretty excited too. I really can't wait start of something special. I'm pretty excited, too. I really can't wait to see if this is going to work out.

Yeah, us too. So we'll check in with you guys again, all right? We'll send you out on a date. We'll check in with you guys again and see how it went. Okay. All right. Thank you, guys. All right.
