Selina is on the phone today for our first date follow-up, and she's getting ghosted by a guy named Marcus. So in a few minutes, we're going to call him and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting her and maybe get her another date. But first, Selena, how long has it been since you heard from Marcus? Hey, so about a week and a half. Okay.

Have you been trying to get a hold of him? or was the last time you guys talked on your date? Yeah, I mean, last time that we talked was on the date, um, afterwards, you know, I text them, hey, had a great time and he wrote back, yeah, me too. And, you know, during the date, everything was awesome. So I assumed that we'd go on another date.

I mean, yeah, one would if it was good. Right. It was amazing. We like went for like this midnight mini golf and arcade night at like the retro game lounge, you know. And I'm talking neon lights, he's downtrack, pumpkin spice cocktails, you know, the best. And honestly, it was Marcus's pick. So I was like, all right, this guy's got a great vibe.

He also has like this low-key, you know, bookish charm, but still wear sneakers, like, I don't know, he's like about to start a dance battle. Like nerdy swag. I'm so into that. Exactly. And, like, he's got a great laugh. Like, I mean, he was awesome. just really great guy. Okay, so why do you think you're getting ghosted?

Well, so when we were at the arcade, we were like doing this, you know, best of three air hockey challenge. And honestly, I got way too into it. What does that mean? Yeah, exactly. They sound so lovely. I can't even imagine. So sometimes I don't know my own strengths.

And, you know, at Match Point, I launched the puck so hard. It literally ricocheted, smacked the ceiling fan, and definitely went right into someone's naches. Oh. Like, I'm talking hot cheese everywhere. Wow. Okay. But I mean, is that a reason to ghost you? I don't think so.

You know, Marcus, like, doubled over laughing. You even high fives me. And then, you know, we spent, like, an hour, you know, talking about vintage pinball tips. Like, it was, I don't know. I was just thinking about, like, you know, this is a kind of. kind of night that you tell your grandkids about, you know? Well, so then where was the issue? Well, I don't know.

Like, we texted a little bit after the date, and then he, like, completely disappeared. Okay. Okay, so you actually were texting after the date? Yeah, like, a little bit. Nothing crazy, but, like, is it because I'm frequently strong? And, like, maybe he's intimidated by that. Did you guys kiss and stuff after? Like, a little bit, but nothing, like, a little bit of a makeout.

But I thought the vibe was there, but maybe he's obviously not into it anymore. I don't know. All right. Well, we'll try to figure it out for you. Then 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 so much. Get your first day, follow up next.

Was acting always something you were going to do?

I was using acting as a way of escaping to feel free. My parents, it wasn't just the divorce. It was just like the continuing situation of living between two different houses and two different lives and two different sets of values. the career and the life that looks like the dream but are you really happy? Fame has given me this extraordinary power it's also given me a lot of responsibility

She dressed like your mom? Yeah, it was kind of a turnoff. I like, everything was great, but then she wore her top. It was like my mom. So your mom has the same top that she was wearing?

It was like exactly the same top. And I was like, oh gosh, it's my mom. I just got to say sometimes things just like turn me off. And that was just kind of it. Okay, but you guys kissed and stuff. up, huh? Yeah, and when I was kissing her, I kind of felt like I was kissing my mom. Yeah? All right. Well, probably better not to go back there then. Yeah, I don't know. Would you date someone that dressed like your mom? I don't know. Or your dad?

My dad's pretty swag, to be honest. It depends. I don't think it would bother me, but... I don't know if it's a deal break. Yeah, did she act like your mom, too? No, she didn't. She was fun. It was fun. It was just, like, I said, it's just a little thing like that can make a break deal. It's like a deal breaker for me. I guess if like you're playing air hockey

everything was great, but I don't know, you guys don't have like little things that bother you when something goes not the way you planned. Yeah, I guess. I just, I don't know how your mom dresses, so I don't know if it was bad or good. I don't know, like moms. Like, oh, I don't know,

on the top, just target mom's section. I don't know. Okay. All right, well, Marcus, thank you for telling us. I will let you know that Selena's actually on the phone listening and wants to talk to you. Oh, okay.

Hello? Yeah, hi. So, my name is one, how are you? Oh, yeah, great taste. You've got our mom's taste. I think that's ridiculous. He goes to me over this.

You're sending him a picture? Okay, sent. That's all to be good. Oh. Oh, wow. Okay, so, like, my mom had that bra, too, by the way. Oh, what was one of those pictures? Now you're lying.

Okay. Also, how do you know what kind of bra your mom has? Yeah, that's weird. I don't know if this is her thing anymore, Marcus. I saw it in her laundry room. I don't think of people. Okay. Okay.

Basically, do you like what you see or not? Oh, I mean, yeah, you're beautiful, to be fair. Like, you rock, I want to be fair, you rock the top that my mom wears way better than my mom, okay?
