First date follow-up powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys Online at Advocateslaw.com Hayden is on the phone today for a first day follow-up He's getting ghosted by Elena, so in a minute 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 Hayden, how long has it been since you heard from her?

It's been about a nice night. nine days, I'd say, nine or ten days, give or take. So how many times have you tried to reach out to her? Once every other day. I mean, the most reason was this morning. You know, I'm still trying to, you know, connect with her if possible. Okay. How was the day?

The day was great. I mean, that's why I'm so baffled. Like, so, you know, we, we met online and then, uh, we met up at this little wine bar, you know, in kind of a middle of the neighborhood, which was really nice. and it was like they had a little patio out there she brought her dog she had her little baby dog i think it was like a pomeranian or something which that's cute weird but yeah i guess in a sense she didn't tell you no no no no no no i'm gonna date that'd be kind of weird i think it's cool yeah give you the puppy okay anyway dog's name was biscuit it was you know it's fine or whatever you know you didn't mind that she

surprised you with the dog on your date i i am a dog lover myself So like at first it was you know, it really by surprise, but after a while, you know, I got adjusted to the dog. I mean, I don't know if the dog was getting so adjusted to me. He kept trying to like bite on me and every time I try to pet him, he would growl and stuff. But the dog didn't like you was just, he even actually had a little joke saying something like, you know, if biscuit doesn't vibe with you, then that's a red flag or something like that. But I think she was just, I think he was just joking, I think, I hope, because the date, the date was going great. Like after a while, you know, the dog kind of laid there and just kind of kept to himself. And then we started viving, connecting, you know, we got a, we shared a churc-chood.

Charkootery. She actually made fun of me for not knowing that. Say it too. I thought that was actually kind of cute. But yeah, one of those cheese boards. After that, we went back to her place and, you know, we were still viving and everything was good. And, you know, one thing was to another. And we hooked up, you know.

Oh, you did. I didn't say just like that. But yeah, yeah, yeah, we did. It happened. And we just had something. And I just, I want to know why she, why all of a sudden she's ghosting me, you know? What could have gone wrong?

Was there any other moment aside from biscuit nipping at your ankles that was kind of awkward or, or no? I have no, no idea. I mean, I, yeah, he was nipping at me at first, but, you know, he calmed down after a while. and we were having such a great time. I mean, I thought I did a great job, you know, performing, if you will. I don't know. Maybe I might have said something stupid towards the end of the night. You know, I had a good buzz on me.

I was tired, dehydrated. You know, I've been working a lot lately, so, you know, haven't been catching up on sleep much. So I might have said something stupid. Hayden is on the phone and he's getting ghosted by Elena. So we're about to call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting him and maybe get him a second date. But before we do that, Hayden, why don't you break down your date for us real quick again?

I met at a wine bar, had a great time. She brought her dog, which was a lot of putting her first because he kept, you know, nipping at me and growling at me. But after a while, he calmed down. And we had a great night and even great overnight, if you will. And ever since then, you know, she's been ghosted to me. I thought we had a great connection. And I try calling her.

She doesn't call me back. Doesn't text me back. I mean, I don't know, like I said, maybe she is, you know, serious about biscuit and, you know, the vibe because he was growing up. I mean, maybe she's true about, like, you know, she did call him her, his furry gatekeeper, I guess. Well, maybe, okay, so maybe her dog didn't like you. That might be the reason you think you're getting ghosted. Or maybe it wasn't. Or maybe it wasn't.

Or maybe that's a whole different thing. Either that or I said something stupid in the middle of the night, which I don't recall. I was buzzed. I'm sorry. Are you ready for us to call her? Yes, please. Okay, here we go. I'm going to dial her phone over right now.

Hello. Hi, may I speak to Elena, please? This is she. Hey, Elena, how are you? This is a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Elena. I'm Nina.

Hi, and I'm Victoria. And my name's Jubal. What's up? How are you? I'm good. Great. Have you ever listened to the show before? I have.

Yeah. Dope. Have you ever heard a first day follow-up before? I have. Dope. Yeah. Guess what, Elena? What?

You're ghosting somebody and they emailed us. Oh, no. Yeah, okay. We do a segment called the first day follow-up where if you're ghosting somebody, you can email us and we call that person and see if they'll tell us why they're ghosting you. So do you know who would have emailed us about you?

Yeah, I have a sneaking suspicion of Hayden, isn't it? Yes, it is Hayden. Do you have a few minutes to talk to us and tell us why you're ghosting? He said he really liked you and he thought you were into him. Yeah, I mean, the date was actually really fun. I mean, he's adorable, he's cute, he made me laugh, and he even tried to win over my dog, which was a big thing for me.

Yeah, he told us the big, yeah, you brought your dog on the date and that your dog didn't like him, so he thought maybe that was a red flag. I mean, no, that's not why I've been ghosting him. He is like a bathroom criminal. What does that mean? She called him a criminal. A bathroom. criminal. After we hooked up, I went to the bathroom and he left the toilet seat up, which

wasn't the worst thing, okay? But then he also didn't flush. And let's just say hydration is not his strong suit. Oh, no. It was disgusting. It was like someone poured beer into like a hot desert. I'm going to open a window. And you got it everywhere. I'm telling you like everywhere. Wait, can I, I can't say quiet now? Can I say something? Hey, Elena, that's Hayden. He's on the phone and wants to talk to you. Elena, that's why you ghosted me. That's why you ghosted me.

My piece. How did you get it all over the bathroom? It was an accident. It was a complete accident. I'm so sorry. In my defense, it was like 3 a.m. I was half asleep, dehydrated, and clearly not at my best. You know, I respect you.

I swear. I look you don't go someone for that come on we had chemistry right we you even laughed in my dumb jokes listen I I do love the dumb jokes and but I mean just the bathroom was just out of control like I didn't even I didn't even know how to deal with that so I don't know Elena listen I really do like you and you know we just hooked up right after that and it's kind of hard to control after hooking up I'm sorry if I wasn't really paying attention to where it was going. Is that a true statement, Jubil?

I would say, yeah, it is actually. But I mean, I don't know, you know, I didn't see it, so I'd have to know how bad it was. Oh. I'm sorry about that, but I know we can move past this, you know, I think biscuits hurt it like me towards the end of it, you know, and I'm willing to give, you know, a biscuit a bribe. I will come in, I will clean your bathrooms early, I will bleach it, I will re-shingle your tile, whatever, whatever we've got to do,

if I can get a second date with you, please. I, listen, I really do like you, but I just don't want to start this whole thing off with me having to clean up after you and reminding you to drink water. Like, that does not sound fun for me. Look, if you go on another day with me, I promise I will be straight.

That is a great, hey. Can you promise that? Elena, what do you think? Would you go on another date with Hayden? We'll pay for it. I mean, that's a big promise. I've never heard anybody promised that before for somebody. I'll even sit down in the middle of the minute.

What? Bye. Yes, we can go on a second date, but we're staying out of my bathroom. Okay? The straight promises is what did it. Deal, deal. I'm bringing a water bottle and mince and a ride for biscuits and bleach for the bathroom. Oh, my God.

Whatever you want. How sweet. That is so sweet. Well, congratulations, Hayden. You got another date. That's going to do with how you guys. Thank you so much. This was great.

All right. Thanks, guys. You know what? I'm actually pretty excited. I'll call you after we get done with this radio thing. And I'll call you on your phone. Okay. Okay.

I'm looking forward to it. Another wine trip or something. Awesome. Thank you guys. I appreciate it. I'll talk to you soon. Alanna. Okay.
