Evan is on the phone today for a first date follow-up, and he's getting ghosted by Ruby. 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, Evan, how long has it been since you heard from Ruby? It's been about four days. Okay, that's too bad.

Yeah. Have you hit her up a bunch in that time? I did try a couple times, yeah. I don't want to over to it, so I reached out and definitely got nothing back. okay and you feel like that's weird like you feel like four days is a long time did not hear from her yeah we're kind of hitting it off so it is out of the ordinary well tell us about your date well uh ruby and i went to a rooftop bar and um you know it had the best view of the city it was um it was her idea actually um it was super cool you know um can't really beat beat it for a first day just

great a great place to grab drinks um shared a charcutory board and um you know our conversation was just really easy natural the vibe was laid back and um plenty of kind of flirty moments she's hilarious you know we're making each other laugh the whole night and they were just barked you know the kind you can't fake um we ended up taking a walk after and because we were both little buzzed and um before we say good night uh there are a few kisses and uh yeah you know it's just uh kind of date you never want to stop okay well why do you think you're getting ghosted then honestly really confused you know we were texting nonstop for for two days after so things are you know they felt promising and then nothing it just stopped so wait you went on the

date and you ended up hearing from her after the date? Yeah, after the day for about two days. And then it stopped. Right. Could it be something you texted? Um, I don't think so. I mean,

I don't think it was. I did text her a pick of me, like, in the bathroom with a towel on and the teased, like I thought it would be harmless. That may have been it. Okay. Is that the last time you heard from her? Um, I believe. I believe so.

Oh, I'd be tripping if I got ghosted after that. She was teasing me about having abs, so I just decided to show her. You know, I don't know, maybe it was too much. It wasn't like an acid pick or anything, you know. Do you have abs or was you, like, joking around me and like check out mine, but you don't have them, you know? I have abs, yeah. I mean, just wanted to prove myself. Okay.

That could be it. So was a selfie? Yeah. I mean, if she stopped talking to you right. right after that, then that probably, it probably has something to do with that. I don't know. I mean, I don't think it was that bad or racy or anything, but. What did you say when you sent the picture of yourself in a towel?

Nothing much. I just, I think I've put like a little blurb, like, you know, here, proof or something, like, along those lines. Okay. In the middle of today's first day, follow up if you're just joining us. Evan is on the phone. and ghosted by Ruby, so we're about to call her and see if she tells us why she's ghosting him and hopefully get him a second date. But first, Evan, why don't you break down your date for us one more time? Yeah, so we had a lot of great moments on our date. Marks flew. Everything was

perfect. I thought we had a connection and, you know, two days after the date, I've not heard from her. And the last thing that you sent her was, let's not forget this part, a picture of yourself in the bathroom and a towel. I did send her in my abs. Yeah. All right. Well, are you ready to see if that's the reason you're getting ghosted? Yeah.

Let's do it. Okay. Here we go. I'm going to call it right now. Hello? Hi. May I speak to Ruby, please? This is really.

Hey, Ruby, how are you? This is a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Ruby. My name's Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria. And I'm Jubal. How are you?

Okay. I'm good. Sweet. Have you ever listened to the show before? I have. Dope. Thank you. Well, what if I told you that you were the star of a first date follow-up right now?

Oh, God. Yeah, we got an email about you from somebody that you're ghosting, and they don't know why. You know who would email us? I'm pretty sure it's probably Evan. You're very smart Ruby. Yes, it is Evan. Evan told us about your date, said that he really liked you, and thought you guys had an awesome time,

but you texted for a little while after, and then you just ghosted him, and he wants to know what's up. Would you mind telling us? I mean, like, look, I really thought Evan was great, and we had an amazing time. But then after my date, my friend showed me something and it just it kind of killed the vibe for me okay what was it

okay so i i texted my friend a picture of evan when we were on the date because she wanted to do what like and then the next night she sends me a picture of him with some other girl like literally the night after we went on the date and then he was at another bar and they were making out no no no no No, you've got it wrong. Ruby, that's Evan. He's actually on the phone and wants to talk to you. Oh, my God. I mean, like, yeah, okay.

I guess I knew this is coming. Oh, man. Hi. Hi. Look, you've got it all wrong. It's not. No, no. No, Evan, you are literally in the picture.

I mean, it's not hard to recognize someone when you were just right there, you know? Oh, okay, yeah, it happened, but it's not what you think. Like, she's someone I've been hooking up with for a while, and I was going to tell her it was over because I wanted to focus on you that night. And I just, I didn't get to it yet. So you were all with someone else right after your date making out with her? Technically, yeah. Again, you were just with me.

me and then you just go make out with someone else. I mean, I understand people date multiple people, but it just, it felt wrong to me. I swear, I swear, I'm done with her. I'm not seeing anyone else. I like you. I was going to tell her that the next day, but it was like, it wasn't like that anymore. You're the one that I want to date. Did you tell her that?

I told her. I mean, I wouldn't want to see a picture of the dude that I just want an amazing date with, like messing around with somebody else again like she said i get people are dating other people but if i don't know i wouldn't feel good about that either i just would have too many questions yeah like are you just saying that like you want to date me or like did you hook up with her that night you know that's just how it felt to me did you hook up her i mean yeah yeah but it was like just like last round type of thing i swear i told her about you at at that point and that was the last time.

You told her after you hooked up? Yeah. You hooked up with her after you told her about me? Like, seriously? No, I told her about you after I hooked up with her. That's not necessarily better. Evan's at least truthful. Yeah, that's true.

Okay, so you hooked up with her after you told her about me, like seriously? No, I hooked up with her and then I told her about you. But that's because things felt so different with you. Like, we've been on one date. It's not like I cheated on you or anything. I was just, I was trying to do the right thing. I mean, it would have been better if you told her before and didn't hook up with her.

Okay. I get that, but it was, you know, I was just kind of desperate and sad. I didn't get to see you. And, you know, I was just trying to break things off. didn't go as smoothly as I hoped they were. I mean, if we were to date and you didn't see me, you can't hook up

with other people. I'm not trying to do that. I swear. It's kind of tricky because he kind of does have a point. He is trying to do the right thing. Like, he didn't cheat on anybody and she's out of the picture now. Ruby, would you like to go on a second date with Evan

we'll pay for it? I mean, Evan, are there any other people I need to know? out? I mean, yeah, well, yes. I want to text them and let them know I'm not available. Via text, I'm not going to meet up

with them. I will show you the text. What do you think, Ruby? It sounds like you're serious. I mean, like, honestly, we did just go in one date, and it was, like, a really, really good date. But I swear to God,

Evan, if any of my friends send me more pictures of you out with other women, you're going to wish that I was just ghosting you. They will be way worse, way worse. I promise you'll never see that again. Uh, I don't want to ever, uh, meet that side of you again. Okay, sure. All right. We'll go out again.

Are you happy? Yeah. I'm, thank you. You're welcome. First Date follow-up, powered by the Advocates Injury Attorney, online at Advocateslaw.com. I'm Stefan Curry, and this is Gentleman's Cut.

Hey, I'm Nora Jones, and I love playing music with people so much that my podcast called Playing Along is back. I sit down with musicians from all musical styles to play songs together in an intimate setting. Every episode's a little different, but it all involves music and conversation.

conversation with some of my favorite musicians. Over the past two seasons, I've had special guests like Dave Grohl, Lave, Mavis Staples, Remy Wolf, Jeff Tweedy, really too many to name. And this season, I've sat down with Black Pumas, Alessia Kara, Sarah McLaughlin, and more. Check out my new episode with John Legend. I feel like in a lot of ways our careers are paralleled in some ways, but they just never intersected for some reason. I know.
