and maybe get her a second date. But first, Lucy, how long has it been since you heard from Josh? Hey, yeah, it's been about two weeks. It's a good amount of time. Yeah. I mean, I feel like we had such a good vibe and connection. I can't like let this go. Yeah?

Did you try to get a hold of them in that time? Oh, I definitely have, yeah. Okay, when was the last time you reached out? I actually reached out yesterday, sent him a text. But yeah, I haven't heard anything from them. Okay. Tell us about the date. Well, okay, I know it sounds really wild, but it honestly,

felt like it might be something from out of a movie. That's how like magical it felt. We met in Vegas and I don't know, we just had a really great time. It felt like otherworldly. It was, I don't know, it just felt like the universe kind of put us together. And he made me laugh, like immediately. I felt like disconnected to him and we just like, we saw each other at the lap machine and just had a great conversation. And then He got my number and we text nonstop. And when I got back home, he actually asked me out on a real date. And I didn't even let him finish the sentence.

Like, I was like, yes, yes. So you guys met in Vegas and you live in the same city. How amazing. Yes. I know. It really felt like it was meant to be. Okay. That's cool.

Yeah. So we ended up going to this really like vibe wine bar with fairy lights and, and we, shared like a sarcootery board and um like held hands the whole time and i don't know like it really just felt like we were falling in love i know that sounds crazy but it was just it was amazing okay and he was feeling the same way you think oh my goodness yeah like i i felt like we were so connected we were like i don't know it was it was it was awesome he definitely was into me okay well then what happened like was there anything off at the end of the day date or even during the date, I guess?

Um, yeah. So I, I thought everything was going well and I felt really like I wanted to be open and honest with him. And so towards the end of the date, I told him that, um, I'm technically married. Oh. Yeah, but, like, I'm, I'm really working on opening things up with my husband and, um. Did you say opening things up with your husband? Yeah.

So like an open relationship type thing? Yeah. Yeah. here he knows like I'm a free spirit and he knows like I'm very open-minded I mean he loves who I am and so I I you know I talked to him about it and um he I don't know instead of listening and and and having a conversation um he just like felt very frantic and just left just and yeah so like he grabbed his jacket he didn't even finishes drink and I haven't heard from him since. So we know why you're getting ghosted.

Yeah. Well, I mean, yes, but I don't know. I just, I felt like I was being really transparent and I believe in honesty and obviously love and multiple kinds of love. And he said he really liked emotionally intelligent women and I don't know. I thought that he would be at least willing to have a conversation about it. So. Okay. That's what you want.

to have a conversation about it. Lucy is on the phone and she's getting ghosted by a guy named Josh. We think we might know why. But we're not sure. So we're about to call him and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting her and get her a second date. But first, Lucy, why don't you break down your situation again real quick? Yeah, so I had a really great connection with Josh. We went on a date and I was honest with him and told him that I'm married.

But I'd like to, you know, have an open relationship. and I don't know if he just left, so I haven't heard from him since. All right. Well, are you ready to call him? Yeah. Okay, here we go. Hi, man. Speak to Josh, please.

Yeah, this is he. Hey, Josh, how are you? This is a radio show. It's called The Jubal Show. Hi, Josh. I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria. And my name's Jubal.

What's up? What's up, guys? I don't know. Nothing much. Have you ever listened to the show before? I have, but. spend a minute and I don't know what I'm doing on it. Well, we do a segment called the first date follow-up.

That's where if you go on a date with somebody and then you ghost 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, Josh. Okay. Any idea who would email us? Vanessa, is it? Vanessa? Vanessa?

Vanessa? It's not Vanessa. Who is Vanessa? It's Lucy and that's Lucy. She's actually on the phone and wanted to talk to you. Lucy? All right. Josh.

Who is Vanessa? I know I freaked her up by telling you I'm married, but are you going out with somebody else? I thought we really had a good connection. Uh-huh. Okay. Hold on. I'm still trying to process all this. So you thought I ghosted you, so you called?

a radio station to call me on the air. Is that what is happening here right now? Yes, I, I didn't know what else to do. So I called the radio station like you've been ghosting me. So what would it, I don't know what to do. Okay, I'm gonna break this down in a way that I, hopefully you can understand. Lucy, you casually drop that you're married and you're planning to ask him for permission to date me. You're asking your husband, how do you think this was going to go?

Like, yeah, I do like you. But this is so messy. This is not how I operate. I know, but I mean, I was being really vulnerable with you. Like I felt like, I don't know, I felt like we reached this place and like I was able to open up to you in that way. And, and that I want you to be in my life. I feel like something's really here between us. And I felt like I could tell you the truth.

And we could like kind of work through this. Yeah. Let's see. I didn't sign up for a thruple. Okay. I don't want that. I don't want that. Okay.

Like I don't, I don't not a thruple. Just me. Like I'm, I'm okay. I would still be married, but I would be monogamous with you. So you wouldn't be with your husband anymore. Is that what you're saying to me? Okay. I, well, I would be with him, but, but it would just be him and then you.

been nobody else that's not monogamous with me do you understand what's being honest I know but like what if I just I feel like okay what if I let you date whoever you want but then you're still my boyfriend okay I'm going to refer back to the monogamous do you even know what that word means I mean this is a this is bothering me can you tell me what it means if you if you know what does it mean What is the no, no, no, no, tell me like I don't know. What is it? I mean, I don't know what it means. So can you explain it to me?

Just tell me what it is. What does that mean word mean? Yeah, I mean, I think it's going to take more than like a conversation on the radio to talk about that. No, no, no, no. I'm just telling you to tell me one thing. You dragged me on the radio. I just want you to define one word. What's monogamous mean?

What does it mean? Well, like, I just, the definition. You got your phone there, Google it. You don't know. Yeah. I mean, I just feel like it's, to me, it's being with my husband and then, and then you with my boyfriend and then nobody else. That's great.

Okay. Thank you. That's amazing. Cool. So chairs are bed, too, in my world. Like, I don't, you know. You can't just change the definition of a word to suit your application. Do you understand that?

Would you at least be willing to maybe, like, talk to me more about this? absolutely lucy at this point i'm like fascinated with what's going on in your mind i'll never talk to you from a romantic angle ever again or that that's that's not happening obviously that's but i want to know i want to know how crazy you are i'm being honest i want to figure out what is going on in your head i don't know that that's going to be going to yeah josh would you like another date with lucy will pay for it oh no are you kidding like okay i get that you think i'm crazy it's a little unconventional um I just felt like you would maybe want to see like where our connection could go. Like it might be worth, you know, exploring a little bit more.

Well, you know, sometimes we think wrong. Wow. Okay, you did say we, so that. Yeah, okay, yeah, that's a hard note. There will never be a you and me, we as long as you have a husband. Okay. Okay, well, Josh, I feel like it's really unfair that you think I should leave my husband for you. deal.

This escalated. Well, yeah, I don't think you're getting another date, Lucy, but at least you got to talk to Josh. Yeah. Well, thanks, guys. I don't know what to say. You'll figure it out, I'm sure. And Josh, thank you for your time. Yeah, I still don't know what happened with all this time.
