Yeah. Are you sure? you're getting ghosted. I'm not like 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure. Why do you think so? Well, like, the day went really well, but I worry that I, I don't know, like, so we went on a picnic and it was really nice and we even like got to slow dance a little on the picnic blanket.

Oh my God. Yeah, it was really sweet. And I was like, I don't know, he was just really attentive, but I just worry, like, I can't dance. And I kept stepping on his feet. And so I'm like, maybe he just didn't like that I can't dance. I don't know. I've been like hyper fixating on it.

But I'm just like, I really was bad. I was like nervous and stuff. I can dance a little better than I did. But yeah, it was pretty bad. Okay. Did he say anything about your dance skills? No, I mean, we both laughed at off. But like, you know, sometimes people pretend things are funny or okay.

And it's not. And I don't know. It's the only thing that I really feel like I did wrong. So tell us about the date, though. Like how were things? with him. Did you guys get along? Oh yeah. We had a lot in common. So like I brought the wine. He brought the food.

We met up at the park and we had a picnic and it was just really chill. And we got to talk a lot. So like we got to know each other a little bit. And I really liked it. It was just a nice peaceful date. You know, I've been dating a little and like nothing really exciting. So this was kind of to me this one, this really stood out and it felt really special. So like it went really well. We even like got to make out a little. little bit. So like I thought he really liked me. But I don't know. I was just I'm really concerned because I would have hopes that like the next day or maybe even a couple days later. I mean, I know people have jobs, but I just haven't heard a thing. Was he supposed to reach out to you? Like did you try to contact him at all? I haven't. But he said he would like text or call and then I just haven't heard anything. Okay. I feel like after a date like that, I would also want to hear back like the next day or two because it ended so well. Like why wouldn't he be? messaging back. Well, like he said he would reach back the next day, but I texted him when I got

home and said, thanks for such a great date. And he didn't text back that night and he didn't text or call the next day. Like he had said he would. Oh, the day after that. So I'm like, I don't know. So do we know that he's not sick? Like, did you do some investigating with a mutual friend? Yeah, I did. Okay. So yeah, I asked her because she works with him. And she was like, no, he's fine. He's at work. Well, that is a little bit weird. Yeah. No. it is. All right, well, we'll see if we can figure it out for you. Then we'll play a song, come back, and then call him and ask him, why is ghosting you and maybe get you another date, okay?

What's going on? Hi You know, I'm just telling So what What happened? I know I can't dance, but like I didn't think I was that bad. No, no, actually I didn't consider myself that good of a dancer either, so don't worry about that. No, it was, that's all good.

Like I said, I mean, I did have a good time, but, you know, I mean, honestly, the whole entire time we were on the, you know, on our picnic, you just kept talking about your, you know, comparing me to your ex from how long ago. about six, seven years he said. I don't know. I think every time you brought up his name, I just tuned out. Okay, so it was six years ago, and I'm sorry, I just knew that, so you had mentioned that you've been through a recent breakup,

and I was not comparing you to him. I was trying to, like, relate your situation to what I went through. I wasn't like, I'm sorry if I brought up too much, but I was just like really nervous and maybe like, I don't know, the line was talking or something, but like I was just trying to relate to you, Yeah, so like there was there was times where, you know, I laughed at something that you said and you're talking about your dancing and then all of a sudden you're like, oh my God, Jason laughs that way. And I was like, this is, I think, are you even over him? Like is that even like, is this something I need to be concerned about? You know, I tried to brush it off every time, you know, through the end and the night, like I really just couldn't get over. It couldn't shake it. Like it just like I said, every single thing you brought up was.

oh no Jason did this Jason did that and I'm like I'm my name is not Jason yeah I'm well first of all I'm really sorry like I did not mean to do it that much I think I was just really nervous and that maybe I didn't like know what to say and maybe I was just I mean I was I was excited so like maybe that but I I like your laughing your laugh is not just like Jason's I was just like I think I was just nervous I didn't mean to do that I'm really sorry and like okay so like I'm I was completely comparing your laugh to his laugh because he had a nice laugh. Like he was a d.

There's a reason he's my ex. He did have a good laugh. So it was just like I was nervously complimenting you, I guess. And like, but I love your laugh and it, you're a laugh. And I'm, I didn't mean to make it seem like I was like wrapped up in the past. I just, I guess it has been a long time since I was so excited. And my brain kind of related it to a past experience and I'm sorry. No, I mean, there's no need to apologize for it.

I mean, sometimes the wine does talking for us, but you know, honestly, is this something that I'm going to have to be worrying about, you know, day in, day out is she, you're like, are you even over him? Like, you haven't even said anything about that. Like, whether you are over him or not? And are you still talking to this? So, yeah, I'm definitely over him. I'm, like I said, I'm sorry.

And I'm over him. And, um, if you're willing to give me another shot, I will, I promise the word Jason. will not come up. Yeah, I mean, I'll maybe I'll give you a, shoot you a text tonight and see what you're doing if you're free or maybe, I don't know. So, Nate, will you go on another date with Haley? We'll pay for it.
