Online at advocateslaw.com. Ken is on the phone today for a first date follow-up and he's getting ghosted by Jamie. And he has no idea why, so we'll see if we can figure it out for him in a second. But first, Ken, how long has it been since you heard from Jamie? It's been about two weeks. Okay weeks okay well let's hear about it how did you meet jamie how was the date what's going on so yeah so we met at a concert you know it was like a real small venue and uh we were both kind of at the back kind of away from the crowd so it felt like a good time to strike up a

conversation so we did, we talked back and forth, you know, we were both big in the concert. And then as things started to wind down, I was like, screw it. I'll just ask her out for you. Yeah. I was like, well, we're in person. Let's actually do what people used to do and just talk to each other and so she agreed and she you know she said something like i don't know i was awkward but too cute to say no to which was fine with me um so i texted the next day she you know are you still down to do this and she seemed really excited about it so i was like okay great so far so good okay so then i take her out i took her to this restaurant it's kind of my secret gem i don't go there often but when it's you know someone i think i want to kind of you know start things off right with so go to this place and we just chat about

the concert we get to know each other ask her about like other music she's into. And again, everything's going well. She starts talking about, you know, she's done what we've all done, you know, the, and on the apps, just trying to date around, but it's hard. Right. And she was like, you know, I don't know. I want to take it slow. And she said something like she was deliberate about who she wants to go out with, which I was a little like, what does that mean? But then I'm like, well, you're out with me. It must mean that you like

me. So again, everything's going well up to this point. So I take this as a compliment. She enjoys being with me. Uh, I tell the kind of the same thing. I just, I'm looking for something normal in my life right now. Right. Nothing too hectic, but just something consistent, a cool girl. So after dinner, we talk a bit more. There's actually this park across the street from the restaurant and on the way kind of, we're going to part ways. We just sat on this bench and we ended up talking for like a long time. And I was like, this is, this is so rare. Like no one spends this much time together with someone you don't know. That must've been cool. Right. It was one of those things you see on like a rom-com of like, this is so rare. No one spends this much time together with someone you don't know. That must have been cool. Right?

It was one of those things you see on a rom-com of like, this means it's going well. And so it's getting late, and I knew she had taken an Uber there, and she was going to take one back home. So I'm like, I didn't want to be too forward or too creepy, but I was like, look, if you want, I can easily give you a lift home. And I didn't want to push anything, but she felt comfortable. And she was like, yeah, absolutely. So again, drove her home. This is all going well. Again, I'm trying to be easy going about this, not push anything, but I'm like, you know, we get to her house. I'm like like this has gone real well can i walk you to your door she says great so again i'm feeling good and i was gonna go into the kiss

but i was like this has gone well i don't want to push this thing i assume there's going to be another date so i go for the hug instead okay right that which seems like the normal thing to do. Right. I'm not going for a handshake. Right. Good call there. Yeah. And so this is where I'm like, if there was a problem, it was probably this. I go to give her the hug and I just kind of trip over her like doormat and I kind of like fall into her and I knock her against her own door. But like she knew that it was an accident. Right. And I'm like, I'm apologizing profusely. I'm telling her it's just I just was clumsy.

I was nervous. I didn't mean for that to happen. And she was like, it's fine. It's fine. You're nervous. You're like, I don't want to go for a kiss. Yeah, I don't go for a hug. I'm just going to pounce on her. Right.

Exactly. Right. If someone was watching this, it going to pounce on it right now. Exactly. Right. If someone was watching this, it would look creepy, but it was a total accident. And so anyway, she offers me to do like a proper hug. So I'm like,

okay, good. Things are calmed down. She's, she believes me. Then I'm like, Hey, can I text you later?

And she said, yeah, absolutely. So I went back home and, uh, I text her no response? And she said, yeah, absolutely. So I went back home and I text her no response. And that was almost two weeks ago. Okay. Oh, wow. Wow.

Well, we'll try to figure it out for you. We'll play a song and then come back and call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting you and maybe get you another date if you still want one. Okay. Maybe she has a concussion. Yeah, great. Could be. Yeah, maybe she forgot all about you. All right.

We'll play a song, come back, get your first day follow-up next. We're so done with New Year, New You. This year, it's more you on Bumble. More of you shamelessly sending playlists, especially that one filled with show tunes. More of you finding Gemini's because you know you always like them. More of you dating with intention because you know what you want. And you know what? We love that for you.

Someone else will, too. Be more you this year and find them on Bumble. Experiencing the news each day can feel like a journey. With Up First from NPR, though, it doesn't have to be.

getting ghosted by Jamie. We're about to call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting him and maybe get him another date if he still wants one. But before we do that, why don't you catch everybody up on your date with Jamie, Ken? Yeah, so I met Jamie out at a concert. We kind of hit it off, asked her if I could call her. We set up a date, went out to dinner. It was real good. We kind of spent the whole night connecting talking ended up

driving her home went in for a hug the only thing i can think here that went wrong is i did bump into her i tripped on her doormat i kind of fell onto her in her door but um we ended up with a hug and then i reached out to her haven't heard from like nine days okay all right man well you ready to call her? Yeah, please. Okay, here we go. Hello. Hi man. Speak to Jamie, please? Yeah, this is Jamie. Jamie, how are you? My name is Jubal, and I host a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Jamie.

I'm Nina on the show, too. Hi, and I'm Victoria. What's up, Jamie? I'm sorry. Why are you calling? Do you listen to the show at all, ever? Yeah, I mean, I have, but... Okay.

I highly recommend it yeah the reason that we're calling is we do a segment on the show called the first date follow-up that's where if you go on a date with somebody and then you end up ghosting them that person can email us to get you on the phone and ask why you're ghosting them so we got an email about you oh okay yeah i mean i think i know where this is going. Okay. Like, I know who emailed you. Who do you think it is?

I'm going to say it's Ken. You are correct. Yes, it is. I was going to start clapping, but then that felt weird. Ken emailed us and said that he really liked you a lot, but he doesn't know why you're ghosting him. Oh. God just this is awkward um can you tell do you mind telling us he really wants to know yeah i guess um i mean we we had a really nice date and ken is like he's a goofball he's awkward but he he has so much going for him

he has a wonderful personality and I think I spent the longest time on that date like I the night just flew by yeah I guess it was just the end of the date that was that was really a bummer for me what happened he came to my door you know he was dropping me off and you know he was so sweet and you know he gave me a hug but unfortunately he knocked me into my door and i got a giant black eye because of it oh whoa he told us about that like he said he trips kind of and yeah he tripped into me and um yeah my face hit the door and it hit pretty good. Like I tried to play it off. I was in so much pain.

I was like trying to just, you know, give him a hug, kind of get him out of there. But when I got inside, I, my face was burning. It was the worst sensation ever. And literally an hour later, my face turned bruised. Oh my gosh. Yeah. I mean, it sucked too, because like I get these things happen, but I had work the next day and I had such an important meeting.

And so I had to put so much concealer on my face in order to just even look decent in front of people. Guys, I'm sorry. Hi. Hey, Jamie. It's Ken. Jamie, Ken's on the phone listening. I had no idea.

I'm so sorry. It was a complete accident. I can't believe that it got that bad. I'm so sorry. It was a complete accident. I can't believe that it got that bad. I'm so sorry. No, I understand. I really appreciate the apology. It's just like, it was not what I needed at that time. Really, it was the worst timing for it. Look, I am so sorry that you had to deal with that. But it was totally You know, I thought maybe you would at least give me a call if you had a good time. Oh, look, I understand it was an accident. I get that. I was just in so much shock

about everything that had happened. And then I had, like, immense pain. And then I was saying, like, oh, I have work the next day. So many things in my head. It just made me really angry. I mean, that's a fair emotion to feel in the moment. Oh, I'd be pissed too. Like, man, I'm such an idiot. I can't believe that.

Jimmy, do you like going out with Ken though, right? Other than that? I mean, yeah, it was a good time. And I was just really angry at the time about, you know, work and what I had going on personally that I took it out on him. Well, actually, you didn't take it out on him. You just didn't talk to him. Well, yeah.

I mean, I typically don't do that. I would tell somebody why I'm not talking to them anymore, but I couldn't. I had so much on my mind. But I look, I owe him a black eye. He's not going to get away with it. That's one way to put it. Jamie, if you agree to go out again, then you can knock me over as many times as you like. Oh, oh, all right.

Well, Jamie, would you like to go out with Ken again? We'll pay for it. Oh, my gosh. Ken, you're on. Like, you're going to have a worse black eye than me, but we'll have fun. This is like spicy. 50 Shades of Grey? Either way, congratulations, Ken.

You got another date or at least you got your a** beat. I have no idea. Thank you guys so much. Thanks, Jamie. This is great. Jubal's first date follow-up. Experiencing the news each day can feel like a journey. With Up First from NPR, though, it doesn't have to be.
