First date of follow-up. Powered by the advocates injury attorneys online at advocateslaw.com. Ryan is on the phone today for a first date follow-up. He's getting ghosted by a woman named Shana. So we're about to call her and see if she tells us why she's ghosting him and maybe get him another date. First, Ryan, how long has it been since you heard from Shana? It's been about three days now.

Three days? And I know that doesn't feel like a long time, but after like our date, it feels like forever because she was responding so much before, you know? Okay. Why don't she tell us about the date and how you met her and stuff? Cool. So we met during a pub crawl. It was fun. She wasn't out very long, but like I got her number before she left. And we thought that like we talked about it and would like, we'll have a proper date. There's this little pocket of the city that has a park, one of my favorite pizza places, and like an ice cream spot next door.

So I was thinking like that might be actually a really fun date. We get multiple venues, a little extra time, depending on how well it goes, you know. Then I found out there was a band performing at the pizza place one of the nights. So I asked her out for that. And she said yes. And like it was such a great vibe. We had pizza. We had drinks.

We laughed so much. Like, you know, when your stomach actually. hurts from laughing. Yeah. Then we ended the night with like, we both didn't want to really go home. So we went and we did get the ice cream. And we had a really nice kiss at the end. Oh.

Okay. Yeah. I had like so much fun with her and I feel like there's a little bit of mystery to her. And I really want to get to know her more. She's like, guys, she's like so pretty. Like, I just couldn't get enough. Oh. Okay.

Well, and what do you think happened? It sounds like it was so sweet. I made a joke, and sometimes jokes don't always come across when you're nervous. She had dropped something on the floor, and I was like, I noticed that my shoes weren't tied. I was like, why don't you just tie my shoes while you're down there? And, like, I was just kidding. Oh, we have that, maybe it. Not going to lie.

Yeah. Hey, tie my shoes and make me food. I'm with you. Have you said like that? Oh, no. That just might be it. What did she do, though, when you were like, tie my shoes? She actually tied my shoes, and I was like, no.

Oh, she actually did it, huh? Yeah. Did she laugh? Did she think you were serious? No, I was not serious whatsoever. And at the time, I didn't really think it was a big deal because it kind of felt like playful. Like, she was like, here, done, you know?

But then when I told my buddies about it, they couldn't stop, like, making fun of me. and I genuinely feel that because it's just one of those things you know like when we're nervous we're out with somebody that we like sometimes say stupid stuff and I'm not that guy

who would be like you know like you were saying like tie my shoes and make me a sandwich that's not me is genuinely a bad joke and that's all it was

but now it's been three days and it feels pretty blatant because she was always responding like right away like I would text her. I would think about like what to say and I'd text her. I'd spend like 20 minutes

and then within like 30 seconds she'd be back with like 10 texts and now it's just been nothing. I mean, you know what Jubal always says though? Jubal always says it's all about the delivery. So if you thought you were being funny

but if it didn't deliver Yeah, I'm with you guys. I'm with you guys. I wish we could go back and change. But you know what? She kissed you. Apple's a really nice long kiss too where I was like, okay.

She's feeling the connection to. Did it seem like she wanted to kiss you or did you also go, and now give me a kiss? The obligatory. No, I was like, thanks to come in my shoes. There's your reward. No, I'm playing. Did a good job on my shoes, sweet thing.

Your jokes are funny, but. Consent is sexy. So my move is I always say, can I kiss you? That's my move. And she smiled and she was like, yeah. And she called me in. and like the last thing that I actually texted her was actually like that I was thinking about her and then I couldn't wait for the next date to kiss her again

and nothing I was thinking about you because my shoe just came on tied sorry I couldn't help it all right man we'll figure it out for you we'll play a song come back and then call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting you okay sounds good all right play a song come back at your first day follow up next everybody, I'm Angela Rye, co-host of Native Lampot with Tiffany Cross and Andrew Gillum. Through the lens of politics and culture, we talk with you every week to make sense of this madness. I've been telling Angela, I don't even know how to fight back right now.

So what I'm focused on is just looking out for ourselves. That's the truth. We're having the same debates that American households are having all over the country. Rest is certainly a form of self-care. But if you are watching your full neighbors, starve, not be able to pay bills, Your rest is selfish. But the thing is, Angela, this is not the mess we created. So I do understand black folks feeling like, you know what, y'all got it.

We're like family, but we disagree all the time. And we love when our listeners chime in. What would happen if we built our own little Wakandan communities in the rural South? Tiffany, do not run to know rural South. I don't know what's your own. What our audience is asking is, okay, fine, you want me to stop resting. what specifically are you asking me to do? Stay informed and take action.

And in session 421 of Therapy for Black Girls, I sit down with Dr. Othia and Billie Shaka to explore how our hair connects to our identity, mental health, and the ways we heal.

Because I think hair is a complex language system. right? In terms of it can tell how old you are, your marital status, where you're from, you're a spiritual belief. But I think with social media, there's like a hyperfixation and observation of our hair, right? That this is sometimes the first thing someone sees when we make a post or a reel is how our hair is styled. We talk about the important role hairstylists play in our community, the pressure to always look put together, and how breaking up with perfection can actually free us.

If you're just joining us, Ryan is on the phone and he's getting ghosted by Shana, so we're about to call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting him and maybe get him another date. But real quick, Ryan, why don't you refresh everybody's memory on your date with Shana? We met during a pup crawl. We ended up going to, on a separate night, pizza, ice cream, there was a live band, had a great kiss, I made a bad joke asking her to tie my shoes. She actually did it.

And now I think I might have lost an amazing opportunity to get to know someone really cool. Yeah, you liked her a lot, right? I did. She's so pretty. It's crazy and cool and fun and smart. That sounds like you like it. All right, man. You ready for us to call her? Yes, please. Okay, here we go. Hello?

Hi, May I speak to Shana, please. This is she? Hey, Shana, how are you? My name is Jubel and I host a radio show. It's called the Jubel. show. Hi, Shana. The whole show's here. I'm Nina. Hi, I'm Victoria.

How are you? Um, okay. This is Joe? No, it's not. Have you ever heard the show before? Yeah. Um, I'm on the radio. Yes.

Yeah. You are. We're actually calling you because we do a segment called the first eight follow-up. So if you go out on date with somebody and you end up ghosting them, they can email us to get you on the phone and ask why. And you're currently ghosting somebody. They like you a lot and they don't know why they're getting ghosted. Um,

Um, okay. Any idea who that would be? I'm thinking maybe Ryan, is that right? It is Ryan. Oh, gosh. Okay. Telling us why you're ghosting him? I mean, I know this might sound ironically that I'm being a picky about him because

basically I'm ghosting him because he kept picking on me about how I eat my ice cream. Not picky about how you eat your ice cream? Yeah, and I mean, I know it's weird. that I like caramel on strawberry ice cream, but he started calling me a psychopath, and he just, you know, he wasn't letting go of it. And I was like, I know it's weird, but then he started commenting how I hold the cone,

and then he started making jokes about, like, I don't know, just other things, like, being picky with me. Was he joking? I don't think so, but, like, I don't know. It was, like, I said, you know, like, I say caramel, and he says it's caramel, know, and it just all started to be a little bit too much, and it just didn't feel like the kind of guy I want to spend so much time with.

Okay, so he felt like he was ripping on you. Yeah, like the whole night, he's pulling my pigtowl, you know, and I just want to have peace with somebody on a date, you know? You kissed him after, though. He told us that. I did, because he's really cute and he's really nice, and I know he's really trying, but, you know, I just, I don't know if I want to sign up exactly for another night,

is that, like being picked on all the time. Yeah, that makes sense. If that makes sense, like, I just, I know that, and I don't mean to be a ghostier because it's no fun, you know, but I'm just like, oh, God, I just don't want to be criticized, and I don't know, I moved around a lot as a kid, and I was really shy and a little insecure, and I'm trying to get over that, but it's just, it just takes, it just kind of ruins the night a little bit. All right.

Constant picking can be a little triggering. I get that. Yeah, well, thank you for being honest with us, and now I have to be on with you. Ryan is actually on the phone listening. Yeah. Okay. Okay. And wants to talk to you. Hi, Ryan. Hi. Okay. So first, sorry. I didn't realize that I was doing that. But also,

I'm hugely relieved that it wasn't the shoe tying thing because I was so afraid that you thought I was this one guy who's just like, time of shoes, get me a sandwich, go do this, where I was just nervous. because I was just joking about that, by the way, the street thing. No, I don't know. I got the joke. I got the joke. I didn't love it, but I didn't go to you over it. Okay. Thank you. But I'm sorry. I am so used to hanging out with my buddies and all we do is roast each other. And I guess that's been affecting me so much that I didn't realize that I was doing it too much. I honestly think it's so cute the way that you were holding your cone and the way that you pronounce words.

I am just, you know, sorry, that's not the experience I wanted you to have a bad one, but I will say this with dating. Sometimes you write people off so quickly and communication. You're such a great communicator. Like, thank you for telling me through the radio about what I did wrong. Like, I would be willing to work on that, you know. Like, I'll lock it up, no roasting if you were to go out with me again. And if I do roast and make you uncomfortable, just call it out.

yeah okay I mean I know I have like weird little habits and it's caramel and I know I hold my phone funny and and all that but it's true it's what makes you you I think it's lovely you know I was just nervous trying to make jokes and trying to make sure you have an extra good time and then doing so I kind of messed up and I'm sorry about that no no and think you know I might have gone too far but honestly like you haven't even seen a real psychopath until you see me eat hot You can always make fun of me for that. You know. You eat hot dogs weird, Ryan.

You got to even it out, huh? That's what everybody says, you know. That's what everybody says. I just love some meat. All right. Well, Shana, would you like to go out with Ryan again and maybe eat a hot dog and watch how much he loves meat? We'll pay for another day. I mean, I just want you to, like, I do get jokes, and I know I'm a little sensitive, and I just, I don't think I'll handle the

constant clowning around very well, you know, but I, I mean, no more clowns, no more clowning. I'm going to show up in my suit and pie. But I still like you to be, I don't want someone to not be themselves around me too, you know, but I mean, you're so nice and you're so lovely and to go try to contact me to a radio station. I mean, nobody's ever done that for me before. So, I mean, I know you put so much effort into finding all those really fun places and and all that. So, I mean, yeah, let's go on another date.

Let's give a shot. Sweet. Yay. Congratulations. Ryan, you got another date. Thank you. Thank you guys for making it possible. And thank you, Shane.

I, you won't regret it. And if you do, you can roast me right back. Yeah, I will make fun of you and the way you eat hot dogs. Okay. Yeah, it's really weird. You got to see it. Maybe we'll have hot dogs on this stage. I want to see how you know.
