First date of follow-up, powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys, online at Advocateslaw.com. Diego is on the phone today for a first date follow-up.

And he's getting ghosted by a woman named Samantha. So in a few minutes, we'll call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting him and maybe get him a second date. But first, Diego, how long has it been since you heard from Samantha? It's been a minute, you know? It's been like over a week right now. And, yeah, it's just weird. So have you been trying to get a hold of her?

Or how did you guys leave it after the date? You know, let me just give you the full story. So basically, like, I met her online. and we were texting each other we had like a really good like sort of vibes going and we figured our first date would be at like a pottery class

and it was great even when I picked her up to go to a pottery class she was like roasting me about my playlist in my car and it was just it was just flirting in a way too it was really it was really cool and you know it was fun you know

it was a good feeling and yeah so we did our pottery class thing. It was messy, creative, kind of romantic in like a ghost way. You ever seen that movie Ghost with Patrick Swayze? Yeah. And Whoopi Goldberg and Denny Moore. So, all right, long story short, I kept overspinning my wheel and splattering clay everywhere. Mm-hmm.

And I think that's why she ghosted me, because it even spilt on another couple next to us, which was kind of, you know, faux-pa, you know? You think maybe she's ghosting you? because you were, like, messy with your pottery? Yeah, yeah, I was splashing everywhere. Yeah. Did she seem bothered by it? I mean, I just felt like she was, I think we still had sparks.

She was, like, laughing and, like, she was even snorting. It was like, you know, I, you know, we were, it was, it was, it was, it was pretty funny, but then, I don't know, you know what I'm saying. Like, she was, she was even joking about me and about, like, our Frankenstein bowls. and at the end she hugged me said goodbye and like even with clay still on my face she's still you know give me a kiss in the cheek you know

I'll tell you this I left thinking like this is definitely someone I could actually vibe with long term so it's kind of brutal with the radio silence you know totally did the people that you were getting clay all over get upset

was there like an altercation or it was just random clay flying I'm just trying to understand like at what point maybe she was like rubbed wrong i don't know i mean like everyone was like kind of cool about it though but you never know you know i mean she definitely was like joking about it so i don't know if it was just to sort of like a defense mechanism so i don't know i mean i was really into her humor i liked how she was like making fun of me and like she's also self-deprecating too like we definitely vibe with the same type of like humor so you know I don't want to, like, lose that to see, you know what I'm saying?

Did she say anything like she wanted to go out again? Yeah, we were like, yeah, let's keep in touch, you know? Like, but it seemed genuine, not like, yeah, we'll keep in touch but not, you know? I don't know. I feel like being bad at pottery is kind of a weird reason to go somebody, but maybe she's a pottery snob. Maybe it's an excuse, which is also not helpful for you. I'm really sorry. We'll see if we can figure it out for you, right?

We'll play a song. come back and then call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting you and maybe get you a second date, okay? All right, sounds good. Thank you. We'll get your first day follow up next. All right, West West,

episode, why do we all secretly crave external validation? It's so interesting to me that we are so quick to believe others' judgments of us, and not our own.

What's up? Hi. What's up? Not much. Have you ever listened to the show before? I've heard of you guys. but I don't really listen to the radio that much. That's fair.

Okay. Well, thank you for hearing of us. That's good news. Yeah, that's good. We're calling you today because we got an email about you. Oh, you did? Yeah. We do a segment on the show, and it's called the first date follow-up.

That's where if you go out on a date with somebody and then you end up ghosting them, that person can email us to ask why you're ghosting. So do you have any idea who would email? Um, yeah, I might have a slight idea. Okay, who is it? Who do you think it is? Are you calling about Diego? Yes, it is Diego.

We talked to Diego, he told us a little bit about your date, and he really liked you, and he's wondering why you're ghosting him. Would you mind telling us? Gosh, um, this is on the radio. Yeah, yes. Okay. I mean, I really didn't expect to, like, talk about this, like, publicly, like, on the radio. Like, this is kind of crazy.

Okay. So, honestly, guys, gosh, this is so weird. No, he's great. He's great. We had a great time. We went to a pottery class. It was really, really fun. But he just, he's just not, like, the guy for me.

Let me just say that. But did something happen? or is it just a vibe you're getting? He has some mannerisms that are just not like, I don't know if I can really deal with that. Manorisms? Yeah. Like, I don't want to be rude.

I'm so sorry, I don't want to be rude. Well, he's prepared, you know, like we told him that we would tell him whatever you told us and he's prepared to hear whatever. Okay, okay, in the nicest way possible. We, like, went to dinner. And the way he was drinking his soda, he was, like, slurping the strength. with the straw, like he was auditioning for a kazoo band. I

don't know how I could ever recover from that. I had secondhand embarrassment. It was so loud. Like everyone in the restaurant was turning around to look. Oh. And yeah, it was that bad. It was so loud. And it wasn't just one time

it was like over and over and it just was so bad. It just gave you like the ick. It was a turnoff. It gave it, yes, completely. it gave me the ick and i just yeah i don't think i could do that do you think he does that all the time i guess you could find out but if he does that all the time or just when he drink soda oh i don't know i assume anytime he drinks through a straw like did you never learn how to drink out of a straw

like growing up like what is going on here well um samantha just to let you know Diego is on the phone and wants to talk to you uh oh was you like listening that? Yeah. Yeah. You told me you were going to tell that afterwards. I'm so sorry. That was so rude.

That's how you feel, though? You're being honest. I'm just sorry. Wait, you ghosted me because I sip too hard on the straw. That's like, that's ridiculous. Yeah. The sound is burned into my brain. Like, people were turning around.

Did you not notice, like, everyone turning around me, like, who brought the human espresso machine. Oh, my God. It wasn't just once. It was like every sip. Like, surround sounds coping. Like, it was, I was embarrassed. Oh, my God.

I was, I was thirsty, okay? Like, you handed me spicy noodles. What did you expect? I don't know. I would drink water like a normal person, not like a one-man tuba section. Oh. Wow.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Guess I'll start hydrating in silence from now on. You have to be honest So you'd seriously Not date me Because of the way I drink

From a straw Yeah Like I just can't unhear And unsee and undo the it That gave me I'm really really sorry It's not your fault I mean maybe

But how many times Would I be drinking from a straw That's like a rare curtains It's not like I drink from a straw Every day Yeah that's true I don't know fine I'll never touch a straw again I swear I'll just drink out of cup tanned if I have to

whatever okay we don't know if you're quiet when you do that now okay but it's not just that like any time you would be drinking any like whatever I would just be thinking about the straw incident oh my god you named something you you named it the straw incident it was that bad it was that bad it burned into my brain and then afterwards I changed your name in my phone too straw boy oh wow thanks Samantha would you like another date with straw boy we'll pay for it you know

Diego I'm sure there's someone out there who is a good match for your straw drinking habit it's not me unfortunately I'm so sorry I did have a good time with you but there's someone better for you out there I mean

can we just like I mean we had a good time can you just give me another shot like I mean I didn't know that I sip that straw that bad, I'll, I'll try to, I'll make sure I don't drink straw that crazy again. Or I won't even touch a straw as long as I'm like seeing you. How about that? Like, and I know it's, you know, it's ingrained in your head of the straw internet, but honestly, like, I'm hoping you thought about the other incidents was like, oh, you know, the fun times we had incident, the pottery incident, you know, like the car playlist incident. Like, I'm hoping

you think about like the positive vibes we had to each other and not just that one weird ick moment you know what I'm saying um okay okay okay okay fine I will go out with you one more time just to see only because you sound desperate enough to be entertaining and on one condition wow you still want that day no straws but it's going to take a lot of convincing I'll do it.
