First date of follow-up, powered by the advocates injury attorneys. Online at Advocateslaw.com. Kelsey is on the phone today for our first date follow-up, and she's getting ghosted by Nate. So in a few minutes, we'll call him and see if he'll tell us why he's good. ghosting her and maybe get her a second date but first kelsey how long has it been since you heard from nate hey um it's been about a week okay okay not too long no so in that time though how many times have you tried to hit him up oh um i have texted twice okay that's not bad no it's not too bad you get no response yeah not at all okay what did you say to him in the last text you sent

well the last text I sent I mean I this kind of relates to like you know what happened on the date so it wasn't out of the blue but I complimented he made me a breakfast sandwich so I like told him that I was thinking about how good it was that sounds amazing well that sounds like does that mean got great yeah yeah it did okay tell us about it okay so it was like a little bit different than a lot of other dates I've been on we met at a bar when I was out of with some friends of mine celebrating and we just like kind of were in the corner chatting a lot and we just like really clicked there was instant chemistry and you know i was i was focusing on my friends that night it wasn't really looking for anything but i just couldn't stop talking to this guy so after some drinks we ended up going back to his place and yeah you know i ate a breakfast sandwich so you know what happened okay at least he cooked for you yeah yeah i truly thought it was just going to be a one-night stand and like that was fine but then in the morning when i got up to leave he

grabbed my hand and he asked me to stay oh oh yeah huh i know so yeah that's weird that you're getting ghosted then thank you i you know he said it was like you know this is kind of backwards but could we have a breakfast date right now in my house oh that's cute and he handed me right he handed me this like t-shirt of his and told me to freshen up and get ready and he would make breakfast and it i mean it literally felt like i was in a rom-com which is great yeah it sounds cute um i walked into the kitchen he had like coffee and juice out he was making me that breakfast sandwich he wasn't wearing a shirt he was just wearing shorts and it was literally i know it was like i was like looking into my

it was so romantic and I was just like melting oh my gosh I'd be blowing his phone up too bro where did you go right how long did you stay there well we spent the whole day together like breakfast went some snacks and bed and we were watching movies and then it turned into having dinner together yeah it really felt like we'd known each other forever it's like a full 24 hours it's a lie yeah yes is there anything you can think of that would be a reason that he's ghosting No, I'm, I really, I'm really cracking my brain because I feel crazy. But everything seemed perfect. I truly can't figure it out.

I mean, the only thing that I could maybe think of is, I don't know if he thought I overstayed my welcome. Like, after breakfast, he didn't say that he wanted me to stay, but it really felt like he did. And the more I thought about it, I started to wonder if maybe he was just being nice. I mean, I feel like, if he wanted you to leave, he could have been like, oh, I got to go run errands. It's nice seeing you. That is always so awkward.

I never know how to tell people to leave. I don't. I just go, I got stuff to do. The casual guy responds. So I got stuff to do. You can hang out if you want. Most of the time they say no. One time they said yes.

Yeah, exactly. That backfired. You're like, note yourself. Don't say that again. Did he give you that option? Did he say you could stay if you want? like that? No, he just, like, kept on offering other things we could do.

Oh, yeah. You know, like breakfast for chatting and, yeah, we were watching a movie and then he said, do you have like popcorn and just like one thing kept leading to another? Interesting. But maybe I miss read it. I don't, I said I have to leave before. I didn't think, you know, like I've been in that situation. All right, well, we'll figure it out for you.

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? Okay, thank you. All right, we'll get your first day follow up next. But the humility in knowing that life is this classroom that we should never graduate for is what is going to keep you growing. And that's all that matters. World Mental Health Day is around the corner.

They use WhatsApp to get the price of rice at the market that is often 12 hours away. They're not going to be like, we don't like the terms of service, therefore we're not trading rice this season. It's an inspiring story that focuses on people as the core building blocks of the internet. Platforms exist because of the regular people on them, and I think that's a real important story to keep repeating.

And if you're just joining us, Kelsey is on the phone and she's getting ghosted by Nate. So we're about to call him and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting her. But first, Kelsey, just break down your date for us real quick one more time. Yeah, so I had like a casual run-in with a guy to borrow my son. We spent the night together. One thing led to another. And I was going to leave in the morning. and he offered to make me breakfast

and made me this beautiful breakfast and we ended up spending like almost 24 hours together and having this incredible day and now I've texted him twice and he has not texted me back it has been a full week. It's so weird.

Yeah. Yeah, it is. Are you ready for us to call him? Yeah. Okay, here we go. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Nate, please? This is him?

Nate, how are you? This is the Jubal show. It's a radio show. Hi, Nate. I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria. And my name's Jubal. How are you?

Hello. I'm okay. How are you guys? Good. Have you ever listened to the show before? I think I have heard you guys before, yeah. Oh, sweet. All right, cool.

Well, guess what, Nate? Somebody emailed us about you. Okay. We do a segment on our show and it's called the first day follow. So that's wherever you go on a date with somebody and then you ghost them. That person can email us to give you a call and ask why you're ghosting them. So somebody that you're ghosting email us. Got it.

Yeah. I think I have an idea who that might be. Okay. Who do you think it is? Is it Kelsey by chance? Yes, it is. Kelsey. She told us all about your date.

It sounded awesome. Oh, my gosh. You made breakfast and everything. Yeah. Uh, it was kind of an awesome day date, slash breakfast date, yeah. Tell us why you're ghosting her. Yeah, I kind of.

Look, Kelsey's awesome. She really is. I wasn't faking anything. She's funny, beautiful, really smart, easy to talk to. But the thing is, I've been kind of going through a whole bunch of stuff lately. So, yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. Okay.

Okay. If you don't mind sharing, like what kind of stuff? yeah that's okay um so i lost my job recently and i'm having to make plans to move back in with my parents to save money okay so yeah that's kind of going on right now and i feel like a giant loser so yeah i basically didn't think i was in a position to date someone like her with the financial mess that i'm in right now okay so you didn't ghost her because you didn't like her you ghosted her because you like her Yeah, I guess.

Yeah, definitely. I like her a lot. I don't know. It's just a weird conversation. Like, I don't know how to really broach that subject. Hey, nice to meet you. I got fired and I have to go sleep in my childhood bedroom again. That was perfect.

That could be kind of fun. I think the way you said that was perfect. I've been there, honestly. But sometimes you have to give people an opportunity to show you who they are, you know? I mean, I know that it's kind of uncomfortable, especially since you just met her. But it sounds like you guys had an amazing time and connection. I just feel like, you know, a conversation could have or could be worth it for you.

You're probably right. Everything's just kind of happening all at once, so it's a lot. It's a little heavy. That's all. It just feels heavy. Okay. Well,

the conversation could happen because she's actually on the phone and wants to talk to you. Okay. All right. Hello. Hi, Chelsea. I'm so confused.

Hi, you're ghosting me because you lost your job? Like, you didn't think I could handle that? It's not that I don't think. you can handle it. It's more just I don't want to drag you into my problems right now. I'm, you know, we just met. I'm not some delicate flower, Nate. I'm the kind of woman who stands up for her guy and, like, helps him get back on his seat. You should have told me. That's really sweet of you to say that, and I don't even know if I need outside help yet, Kelsey. I'm still kind of like figuring it all out. Like I said, it just happened. And I know I'm a catch.

I still like myself. It's not like that. But I, yeah, I, I didn't think you'd want to date me. You know, you like nice things. You deserve nice things. Fine. And you'll give me all of that when you're back on your feet, I guess. Okay. Well, yeah, I just don't want to feel pressured while I'm trying to get stuff together.

I just need a genuine reset right now. So as long as you know that's what's going on. That's fair. Yeah. I'll meet you where you are. Kelsey, you're okay with his situation? Yeah. Yeah, he's a human being.

Life happens. for sure but do you think that puts pressure on a new relationship in the beginning I guess so but I think also if you know this went anywhere and it is early it would make us really strong together to have gone through this so early on good point call me a hopeless romantic but that's how I feel about it Nate you think your mom would like Kelsey uh yeah I definitely think so I mean everything she's saying is incredibly sweet and understanding so I didn't know you would take it like that, to be honest with you. That's incredibly sweet.

I feel like you underestimated me a little bit. I guess I did. I think I did. Well, Nate, would you like to go on another day with Kelsey? We'll pay for it because probably have to. Oh, did you know? It happens to everybody, though. It happens to everybody. You'll get back on your feet. That was really funny.

I do want to go on a second date Let's just try to take it slow though I don't want to feel like I have to fix everything You know right away But yeah Thank you guys Congratulations Kelsey you got another date And Nate congratulations to you too

Thank you guys I'm excited to see you Yeah me too But just know that from now on If we do stuff it has to be at your place Because my mom will get pretty mad Yeah we can do that Jubile's first date follow-up
