Powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys. Online at advocateslaw.com. Joseph is on the phone today for a first date follow-up,

and he thinks he's being, well, he is being ghosted by Samantha. So we're going to see if we can figure out why, and maybe get him another date if he still wants one after he hears why. Joseph, what's up, man? I'm just sitting around being ghosted. Joseph. Well, tell us a little bit about it. How long has it been since you heard from Samantha?

Man, five days and eight hours. Not that you're counting. Okay. Have you tried to reach out to her a bunch? Yeah. Five days and eight hours. Not that you're counting. Okay. No. Have you tried to reach out to her a bunch? Yeah. Yeah. I've been texting her and to no avail.

What was your last interaction with her? Sitting on a park bench, sharing a bottle of whiskey. Oh, I love that. That sounds fun. Tell us about the date then. Was that your date, sitting on a park bench drinking whiskey? I met her at a bar. We ended up talking at the bar and then, well, I asked if she wanted to go on a walk. So we left the bar, we walked towards the park. There's like this park kind of nearby. And before that, it was like this little liquor store. So I

just went in there real quick and i said heck i'm just gonna buy a little bottle of whiskey and then we went to the park and we sat at the park and talked and we passed the bottle back and forth so we shared it and shared some uh some good conversation i thought just to clarify joseph the same night that you met her in the bar is still the same night that you met her in the bar is still the same night that you guys went for the walk and ended up drinking whiskey on a bench? Yeah. Yeah, that's correct. Yeah. How late was that? It was pretty late. I would say it's always a little sketchy to be walking around, you know, really late at night with a bottle. But we did it.

It was probably around midnight ish i would say yeah midnight on a park bench drinking whiskey did you exchange numbers like after you finished your bottle or at what point were you like we should do this again yeah well we were kind of like hitting it back and forth and then kind of towards the end of the bottle when we were both i'm sure feeling pretty pretty good uh she um put her number in my phone like uh give me her number then so cool do you guys kiss or do anything else on that bench in the park um i like to play it slow i held her hand a little bit you know just to kind of give that indication like hey i'm really into this conversation i'm really into you um it was kind of like, it was almost like it was a movie or something.

I mean, she was so cool. Yeah. We talked till really late. I know we got there around midnight, but I'm sure we were there till probably three in the morning or something. It was really late. That sounds like a really awesome experience. Yeah, it's rare too, because I never meet people at bars.

What do you think could be the reason why she's not responding to you well i don't know at first i thought maybe i gave her like the bad impression because i went in and bought a bottle of whiskey on the way to a park but i also felt like she was you know i was gauging the situation And once we got to the park and we were kind of passing the bottle back and forth, having a conversation, I figured, OK, she's cool with it. It's not like I just sat there and drank alone or something, you know. I don't know, Joseph. I don't mean to stress you out or anything, but just listening to the story, it feels like she was just drunk and in a moment and had fun and maybe just like woke up the next day and just not that into you i don't that's harsh i know i'm sorry but is that possible i mean in my mind you know that's worst case scenario i guess i mean it's kind of crossing

my mind but it just didn't have that vibe i don't know i it just didn't feel like it was gonna it felt like it was going to, it felt like there was going to be something more. Yeah. You would know that feeling. You were the one that was there. Okay. Yeah.

It's like a gut feeling, but you never know with people nowadays. That's true. All right. Well, we'll try to figure it out for you. Play a song, come back and then call her and see if she'll tell us why she's ghosting you

and see if you want another date after. Okay. Okay. You're awesome. Thank you. Yeah, man, you are too. So play a song, come back and get your you want another date after. Okay. Okay. You're awesome. Thank you. Yeah, man, you are too.

Play a song, come back and get your first day. Follow up next, right in the middle of your first date, follow up. And if you're just joining us, Joseph is on the phone and he's being ghosted by a woman named Samantha. It sounds like they had a really good date,

but now it's been five days and he said nothing. So we're going to see if we can get her on the phone and find out why she's ghosting him and maybe get him another date. he still wants one. Joseph, real quick, just refresh everybody's memory on your date and what happened. I met a girl at a bar named Samantha. We ended up talking and I felt like we had a really good time. I invited her to go on a walk with me as we were walking together. I stopped by a little liquor store and then we headed over to this local park and we essentially sat and talked for hours

on a park bench while passing back and forth a little bottle of whiskey. And then at the end of it, you got her number, right? At the end of it, she put the digits in my phone. And since then, it's been around five-ish days. Well, let's see if we can get her on the phone and find out why and get you another date. Here we go. I'm going to call her right now, okay?

Okay. Hello, may I ask who's calling? Yes, Samantha, this is Jubal from The Jubal Show. It's a radio show. Hi, I'm Nina. I'm on the show and here as well. Hi, I'm Victoria. I'm also here.

It's a radio show, and we were looking to talk to Samantha. Awesome. Well, unfortunately, there is no Samantha on this phone line. My name is Megan. Oh, okay. Have you ever gone to a bar and gave a fake name to anyone before? Recently. Recently. And the name was Samantha.

No. Not recently, no. Okay. We do a segment called the First Date Follow-Up. That's where if somebody goes out on a date with someone and ends up ghosting them, Not recently, no. Okay. We do a segment called the First Date Follow-Up. That's where if somebody goes out on a date with someone and ends up ghosting them, they have us call that person to try to find out why they're being ghosted and maybe get them another date. And one of our listeners was ghosted by a woman named Samantha,

and this is the phone number that he gave us. Oh, I'm sorry that I can't help. I'm not Samantha. Megan, sorry for wasting your time, but nice to talk to you. You sound lovely. Oh, thank you. Yeah, have a good day, okay?

Okay, you too. Hey, Joseph. Yeah, hey. Hey, maybe I took the number down wrong or can you give me the number one more time? It's ****** 218. Okay. Hi, it's Megan again. Oh. So I did type it in right i guess you did i'm just confused hey joseph

yeah so megan meet joseph joseph meet megan sorry that you're being ghosted joseph oh thanks for your uh your sympathy i appreciate it is this sam, but you're acting like you're a Megan because you don't want to talk to Joseph? No, I really don't know Samantha. She doesn't sound familiar. Upside Joseph. Then Samantha's not really ghosting you. Yeah, I guess maybe I got the wrong, put in the wrong phone number. She typed her number into your phone.

Two options. Either she was drunk and typed the wrong number in, or she did the whole, like I'm going to put a couple digits off. They drank a bottle of whiskey. I want to believe that that's why, for your sake. So you guys drank a bottle of whiskey together?

I'm just curious, now that I've been thrown into this, I'm just curious. Yeah, it wasn't like a huge bottle of whiskey, but, yeah, we had a little drink on the bench at a park. Oh, what? Yeah, well, no, I mean, well, we started at a bar, and I know it sounds shady, but, no, we started at a bar, we started just, we just met at a bar.

And then from there we just decided to go on a walk. And then, um, yeah, I guess the rest is history. That kind of sounds like fun. I bet you have been the random phone number that has been texting me. That probably is true. Yeah, probably. Sorry about that. Yeah.

Sorry. I don't really reply to random texts because, you know, I do have a psycho ex-boyfriend. So I was like, hey, maybe it's just him texting me off another number again. Oh. Not it. Not it. That was me probably texting you. I'm sorry about that. I thought you were Samantha. Hey, Megan, you said ex-boyfriend. Yes, I am single. Oh, snap.

Are you near ****** Park? Yes, I actually do live really close to there, like walking to it. Oh, that's cool. That's crazy. That's where Joseph went on his date with the woman who gave him the wrong number, gave him your number. Oh, wow. You actually respond. Is this one of those moments where like fate steps in?

Yeah. You know? Wow. You guys should go out on a date. You should. I mean, she sounds cute. I mean,
