First Day to Follow-up,
powered by the Advocates in America.
Jule is on the phone today for a first date follow-up, and she's getting ghosted by a guy named Patrick,
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 a second date.
But first, Jewel, how long has it been since you heard from old Pat?
Hey, you guys, it's been over a week, which feels embarrassing to say, but yeah.
Okay, so why don't you tell us about the date, and we'll see if there's any holes.
Thank you. I appreciate it. Okay, so we were having a really great time. Obviously, he's cute. Like, I saw his pictures before I met him. We met on an app. So, you know, matched the picture, like really cute. I specifically love his dimples. Like, I have a thing for people with dimples. And when he laughed, he's really got him. And he was like a gentleman. He was definitely confident, but not overtly.
like kind of a quiet, confident guy.
And he actually listened to me.
That was probably what stood out the most because I've been on so many first dates
where people are like checking out.
And he was actually paying attention.
He remembered like the names of my family members I mentioned and stuff about work.
And that was so nice.
That's cool.
That's not crazy.
Like what are things you expect people to remember?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
also another thing that I've never seen before
he ordered dessert so confidently
like I feel like guys are weird about dessert sometimes
and he was just like
took charge, got the brownies
it was like amazing
I'm attracted to that
you know sure and then
we we like had such a good time at dinner
that we extended the date which was unexpected
we decided to get a nightcap so we like walked
to a cute rooftop bar and then we get in there and we're going to sit at the bar and
this is so embarrassing I like misjudged the height of the stool because it was one of those
tall bar stools I fell which is embarrassing enough but I didn't just fall when I fell I reached
instinctively to grab for something to hold
on to, and I
fully grabbed his jewels.
Oh.
Like, fully grab.
Yikes. That's something to hold
on to, I guess.
Ow.
Wait, he passed.
He's passed in the first date.
What did he do?
Well, he, like, he took it like a man.
He didn't, like, make a big deal or cry or whatever, but I,
you guys, like, I didn't just grab and let go.
I was holding as I was falling, so I was yanked.
No, like not in a good way.
How did he react?
Well, at first he, like I said, he was just, like, kind of like, like, sucking it in or whatever, like not.
But he couldn't help it when I actually pulled, he yelped because he can't help it.
Like, I don't blame him.
But then everybody noticed, obviously.
So then it was like dramatic and what's going on.
Like, you know, it was a rooftop bar.
So it's like you could actually hear him scream.
It's not like we're in a small dive bar.
Like everyone was looking.
Not cute.
And it just felt like the whole vibe shifted after that, obviously.
Like I had trouble recovering.
I was like apologizing a lot and trying to keep conversation going, but it was so uncomfortable.
And I just felt really bad.
But everything before that was so good.
Right.
So I'm like, you know, we probably sent another 20 minutes there and then just kind of like awkwardly wrapped it up.
And he did, he did walk me to my Uber and make sure like I got home safe and everything.
But then I never heard from him again.
Oh, no.
And it was an accident.
I don't know.
We'll see if that is it.
We'll play a song, come back and then call him and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting you and maybe get you a second date, okay?
Thank you.
Yep.
We'll get your first day follow up.
next right in the middle of your first date
follow up and if you're just joining us
Jewel is on the phone and she's getting ghosted by a guy
named Patrick 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 first
Jewel why don't you recap your date
with Patrick real quick. Grabindoll
so
we had an amazing first date
Italian spot all the way
through dessert, great time decided
to extend the date, went for a nightcap
on a rooftop bar and
I misjudged the height of the bar
fell and on the way down
really firmly grabbed
his junk
it shifted the vibe
and then spent about 20 more minutes together
and then never heard from him again
so really really hoping we could salvage it
right right yeah all right well we'll see
if that is the reason or if it's something else are you ready for us to call him
yes we're okay here we go
Hello?
Hi, man, I speak to Patrick, please.
Speaking.
Hey, Patrick, how are you?
This is a radio show.
It's called The Jubal Show.
Hi, Patrick.
I'm Nina.
Hi, I'm Victoria.
And I'm Freeze.
And my name is Jubal.
How are you?
Whole party's here.
Good.
How are y'all doing?
What's this?
Not bad.
Thanks for asking.
Have you ever listened to the show before?
No, I can't say that I have.
Okay.
So we do a segment on the show called the First Day Follow-up.
where if you go out on a date with somebody
and you end up ghosting them,
that person can email us to call you
and find out why you're ghosting them,
and we got an email about you from somebody.
Oh, okay, whoa.
Any idea who would email us?
Yeah, no, it's kind of a surprise I wasn't expecting.
I was hoping I went a car or something.
Yeah, me too.
Maybe better.
Any idea who it would be?
Nah, I can't say that I can think of it right now.
It's kind of, I feel bad.
It's a little awkward.
It was a date I think you would remember because you ended up getting grabbed in the junk on accident.
You yell.
Okay, yeah.
You're talking about Jewel, right?
Yes.
Is that the person?
Yep.
Jewel emailed us.
She said that she thought you were awesome, but you've been ghosting her and she doesn't know why.
Would you mind telling us?
Yeah.
I mean, this is really weird.
Yeah, so Jewel told me when we were on the date that she doesn't.
trust people who walk fast.
I don't know. I mean, if he said that if someone walks with urgency, they're hiding something,
and I don't know. I couldn't unhear it. I mean, like, I walk fast and kind of felt like a
personal attack. I mean, like, I hate slow walkers, you know?
Like, walk with some intention, with some urgency. You just, you're milling around on your
phone. I'm trying to get somewhere. And, you know, I just, I don't know, I just felt like a
personal attack. I just couldn't unhear it. So you thought she was like being passive-aggressive with you
and like, you know, I don't trust you because you walk fast?
Yeah, yeah, I just, I don't know, like I'm just walking and like everyone has their own pace.
I mean, I would appreciate it if we're walking all together in a public space.
You'd walk with some intention and not like we're in a park on it.
But he's dragging her up the street.
I'm not going to judge you for walking slow.
I'm just saying, you know, I'm not going to sit here and be like, oh, well, slow walkers are terrible people or trying to hide something.
Sure.
It doesn't go as much.
Okay.
A huge jump, I didn't.
So you weren't hiding anything.
No, no
I probably said to be somewhere
Yeah, so that's why
She doesn't trust people that walk fast
And that was really weird to me, so
I didn't call her back
All right, well, thank you for telling us, man, I appreciate it
I'll also let you know right now that Jewel is on the phone
And has been listening and wants to talk to you
You know they're here right now?
Yeah
Hi, hi Patrick
Hey, Jewel
what's up well I feel like this is kind of ridiculous I wasn't attacking you I was just stating my opinion like it was not a personal attack on you I mean you said people who walk fast are either running from guilt or running from taxes you said you said this while I was walking next to you on our way to grab a nightcap it just it's all okay first of all you were walking like somebody owed you money like I just thought you were cold or really excited about getting the drink like
that's my normal pace
that's how my legs work
that's my natural speed
one foot in front of the other
pace
well your natural speed
made me feel like I was
reenacting a chase scene
from a crime documentary
like I had to take
five steps for every one of your steps
you called me
specifically athletic in public
like what does that even mean
it wasn't an insult
it was an observation
like you moved like
you train for mall walking championship
I'm trying to get it
to the recess
before the bar got crowded.
Well, I've never seen anybody walk that fast,
and I think you're being dramatic.
Like, nobody was looking.
The bartender literally asked if you're good
because you whispered, why did you speedwalk?
Is he hiding something?
So she really leaned into this theory.
Like, lean into it hard.
Patrick, to be honest, one lady looked at you
like you were about to steal a purse.
Like, she was clutching her bag like it was a newborn.
Were you being placed?
Or, like, were you being kind of like playfully passive aggressive?
I felt like I was like flirting and trying to make it sort of more normal feeling by just calling it out because it was so weird.
But I wouldn't have, I would have still done enough.
I would have before this till done another second date.
Like, it's not like it stuck with me or bothered me that much.
But I guess it bothered you.
I don't see what you're asking me right now.
like you went around the whole bar, damn they're asking them if I was walking fast.
I feel like that's enough for a person to say no.
You did that, Jewel?
We're just meeting.
So what if I'm walking fast?
That's just who I am as a person.
If that's not something that you can accept, why would I want to keep talking to the person?
Well, just in my own defense, I did feel like I had to make a joke of it and tell people
because they were looking and it was so weird.
So I was kind of like cleaning up after you.
I don't know.
no one was looking at us no one cared about what we were doing we walked into the bar
we got there before it got busy that's why i was walking like that's the way i walk and like
that's probably at help us we would have not gotten there would have been busy we wouldn't even
gotten a seat no one cared about no one cared about me walking in the bar trust me i can tell
people were talking about it and it was awkward oh so now you're a reminder now you read
everyone's mind in the bar and you knew that everyone had a problem with me walking fast well
then I guess you can read my mind right now
well Patrick would you like another date
with Jewel we'll pay for it
no I think I can
say that I don't want to date anyone who thinks
my walking pace is a moral flaw
yeah
and I don't even know why I wanted a
second date because you're
walking as psycho and so was this
interaction
psycho
and this interaction
psycho okay
yeah
psycho okay Joel you know I'll be the
cycle who walks with purpose while you lollygagging your way through life.
Oh.
You bought a lollygag.
Oh, yes.
It's 1900 and I'm a lollygagger.
I cannot believe I wanted another date with you.

I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night,
but I couldn't hold on to what had happened.
