This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Ava is on the phone today for our first date follow-up, and she went on a date with a guy named Justin, but now she's getting ghosted. So in a few minutes, we'll call him and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting her and maybe get her another date.

But first, Ava, how long has it been since you heard from Justin? Oh, my God. It's been like a couple of weeks. And, you know, I've actually been reaching out to him. And the first time I reached out to him, he said, have a good day. And then I never heard anything back from him. Okay.

So you reached out to him again after the Have a Good Day? No, I mean, like, it feels like really weird to keep reaching out to this guy, especially if his only response is having a good day. Yeah. I'm worried. It's like making me feel really desperate, but at the same time, I really thought we had something. I thought we really connected and I don't know. I guess just at like one point during our date, I was talking about my job and, you know, how thankful I was to have my job. And I accidentally called my boss, um, attractive. and I'm wondering if maybe that was like a red flag for him,

but I didn't mean it in that way. And if that's how we took it, I'm honestly very mortified with that. Okay. Well, that sounds a little bit juicy. Can we go backwards, though,

and talk about how we got to that point? Like, how was your date other than that? Oh, my God. Well, so obviously had a great time. And,

you know, I was just thinking the whole time. Like, basically we started out at happy hour, which a lot of my friends, said that wasn't the correct way to go. But, you know, I just had a good feeling about him. And, you know, the funny thing is, is he's got a great sense of humor.

He's athletic. Like, we played pickleball. And it was like, I'd never played before. So it was really fun to have him kind of teaching me the ropes. And I played on your date? I was like, yeah. Was that for a happy hour? Well, basically, we played pickleball and then went to happy hours.

At what point in all of that did it come out that you thought your boss was hot? Oh, my God. This is embarrassing. Um, basically I was, um, connected to my boss in such a way. I live with him. Okay. I'm a nanny. So I actually live with my mom.

They actually kind of like hooked us up and, uh, you know, told us that we should meet up. And, you know, my boss even told Justin that like I was a really cool person to spend time with and that I was a lot of fun. Yeah, I think he even told, um, I think he even told Justin that I was really cute. So again, I'm worried that was like another red flag for. just for Justin. So I do think maybe the fact that I may have accidentally just that I thought he was cute, you know, after we were talking about how we were hooked up by him,

that that was, you know, definitely something that made him uncomfortable. And you know what? The thing is, is as soon as I said that out loud, I realized it was totally the wrong thing to say. And I tried to kind of like backtrack a little bit,

but I think that made him even more uncomfortable. Okay. If you're just joining us, Ava is on the phone. he's getting ghosted by Justin, so we're about to call him and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting her and maybe get her another date. But before we do that, Ava, why do you catch everybody up on your situation? So basically I'm a nanny, which means I live with my employer. And my employer actually kind of set me up with this guy, Justin, who's like really fun and kind of amazing.

And I thought our first date went really well. You know, we played some sports. We went to a bar. He actually showed me how big stars, really intimate. And I may have accidentally while we were talking about my box to set us up. I may have actually said that I thought my boss was really hot. And yeah, then after that, he stopped reaching out to me and I actually made the efforts to reach out to him. And all he said to me would have a good day and I never heard anything after that. Okay.

Are you ready for us to call him? Yes, please. Here we go. Hello? Hi, man, speak to Justin, please. This is Justin. Who's this? Hi, Justin.

How are you? My name is Jubal and I host a radio show. called The Jubal Show. Hi Justin, the show's here too. My name's Nina. Hi, and I'm Victoria. How are you? I'm good, good.

What do you guys need? We got an email about you from somebody and so we need to call you. Okay. We do a segment on our show. It's called the first date follow up. What that is is if you go out on a date with somebody and then you end up ghosting them,

that person can have us email you and ask why you're ghosting them. Okay, all right, that sounds interesting. Do I know this person? assuming. Yeah, you went out on a date with them and now you're not talking to them. Do you have any idea that would be? Oh, my goodness. Ava, maybe? Yes, it is Ava. Good guess. Ava emailed us, told us about your date and is wondering why you're not calling her back. Oh, wow. I mean, she was awesome. We had an incredible time, but, you know, just a couple of red flags are starting to pop up.

We went out on a date. I took her to play some pickleball, and then we went to a bar afterwards. And when we got to the bar, I mean, I don't know if she maybe doesn't go out a whole lot, or, you know, she was just blown off some steam. But, I mean, she was, like, really crazy. I mean, I'm talking, like, you know, shot after shot and dancing with almost everybody in the bar and grinding, like, even, like, kind of grinding when the bartender was kind of like walking by bringing like some glasses by, like almost kind of like grinding against him and,

and just super flirtatious. Don't get me wrong. She was cool with me the whole time too. It wasn't like she was just blowing me off, but it was, um, seemed like she hadn't been out in like years or something. It was just a weird vibe and it was just like super, you know, I don't know her that well. And, uh, so it just, it was kind of shocking, you know, because, you know, as the day progressed, especially as the drinks kept flowing, uh, she kept getting a little more

crazier and crazier and we had a blast. I mean, we went back, we went back to my place afterwards and, uh, you know, you know, everything was great and it was, but it was just, I'm like, man, this is like this on our first time out, you know, what's it going to be like, you know, we wasn't going out for a few months. So just, I just got, like I said, red flags were just popping up a little bit and so just kind of got me a little concerned. So she was that wasted, I mean, she wasn't like falling over like drunk, but I mean, she was definitely pretty boisterous and like I said, super flirtatious. And, you know, that may be her personality. And again, she was super cool.

It wasn't like she was ignoring me or something, but she definitely wasn't ignoring anybody in the whole place that night. Well, thank you for telling us, man. I appreciate it. Also, I'll let you know that Ava is actually on the phone and has been listening and wants to talk to you. Oh, my gosh. Hi, Justin, Ava here. Hey, Ava, what's up? How are you?

Well, you know, honestly, I'm really embarrassed by this whole situation. And I'm actually extremely sorry. I guess I just didn't realize I was coming across that way. I mean, you know, I love having a good time and I love getting crazy and blown off steam because we all need to do that. But it was, I mean, you were like, you know, grinding up against the bar. Tinder, you were like, I felt like you were floating with everybody in the place that night. And, uh, you know, I was just kind of, it was kind of shocking to see from, from my point of view, you know.

Are you, I was grinding on the bar center. Like, I don't even remember that, honestly. You know, you remember the dance floor. It was backed by where they get the new glasses. I don't remember the dance floor. Oh, my, oh my goodness. That night, you. sure remember the dance floor, let's put it that way, as it about everybody else in the place

that was dancing with you that night, because you pretty much danced with anybody that was down to dance with you that night, you were, you were ready. That sounds fun. I don't remember any of that. And honestly, I guess I don't even really remember how much I drank that night. Is this like a normal, like when you go out, I mean, do you get that hammered like every single time you go out? You know, Justin, honestly, I haven't really been.

out like that in still long. And I must have just not even realized I was really pent up and just kind of went crazy. Don't get me wrong. I had a great time too, you know. And my whole thing was I was just worried like, you know, what happens the next time we go out or if we go to another club or we go to a friend's party? I mean, is it like every time I bring when there's alcohol around is this going to be like a big issue and I just, you know, that's the kind of thing I worry about, you know,

moving forward. if we, you know, if we end up, you know, continuing this relationship. I, all right. I actually really understand exactly where you're coming from, but I just in full honesty, that's not the behavior that I do all the time. I am a better person than that. I hold myself to a higher standard. So it's just like, I really guess just thinking back on that night,

I don't even recognize myself. And more importantly, I don't recognize or remember half the things I did. Well, Justin, would you like to go on another date with Eva then? we'll pay for it. Yeah, I mean, I had such a great time and I really do like you a lot. And again, I just just trying to look, you know, a few months down the line if we start, especially when I start bringing around family and friends and possibly even family. And, you know, if you said this is kind of a one-off type incident, I mean, I'll take your word for it.

And I mean, I don't think I'd be down with God again if you're, if you're into it. I mean, I would really love to, you know, have a second date. And more importantly, I cannot wait to party and grind up against your mom. This is an I-Heart podcast, guaranteed human.
